Pilz: Base unit for configurable control systems

Pilz adds its new base unit PNOZ m B1 to the range of configurable control systems PNOZmulti 2, in order to not only offer higher performance for machines with a larger function range, i.e. for larger projects, but also to provide a connection to all common fieldbus systems via the corresponding expansion modules.

For the first time, the base unit PNOZ m B1 contains no inputs or outputs: expansion modules are used to adapt the system to the application. Two integrated Ethernet interfaces save costs, as there is no need to connect an ETH expansion module. The number of expansion modules that can be connected on the right-hand side has been increased to eight on the base unit. Short downtimes and high plant availability are guaranteed by connection to common fieldbus systems via the respective expansion modules.
