The automation system PSS 4000 from Pilz is the ideal solution for safe production. The automation system PSS 4000 can be individually configured to meet the actual requirements.
Version 1.23 of the PSS 4000 has been released and includes the following important new features:
Record process data to enhance troubleshooting
The controller records its process data using the tracking function and saves it on an SD card. This simplifies troubleshooting and enables you to track the chronological order of variable values, such as braking curves. This helps you optimize your processes. You can view the recorded variable values via the PASscope tool. In the new version, PASscope is automatically installed together with PAS4000. The tracking function is available for PSSu H PLC2 FS SN SD (-T) and PSSu H FS2 SN SD (-T) devices, as well as for PSS 4000 firmware from version 1.23.0 onwards.
SafetyNET p communication is configurable
The real-time Ethernet SafetyNET p is used for the transfer of process data between PSS 4000 devices. You can now configure the response time or network load for SafetyNET p communication in the PAS4000. For example, the optimization of the network load increases the scalability of the PSS 4000 system.
New software module: FS_MSO_PITreader_Visu
The module FS_MSO_PITreader_Visu for the control and monitoring of the selection device (Pilz operator terminal with visualisation software PASvisu) together with the PITreader to control access rights. When the module is called up in the PAS4000, the safety functions (e.g. light curtains or safety gates) required for the selected operating mode must be activated. The main functions of this module are:
Read check permissions from PITreader (security ID, permissions, error status)
Control display and manipulation elements on the visualization system
Read and inspect data from the visualization system
Output data to the visualization system
Generate and output diagnostic information
Output Safe Operating Mode (MSO)
Automatic project licensing
Projects can now be automatically licensed when they are downloaded. If you select this option, you no longer need to manually license a project after it changes. This is provided that the project has already been manually authorized once and that there must be sufficient project credits (PASunits) available.

Peel magnetic relays – what is the difference between a relay and a contactor
1. The effect is not the same:
The primary effect of the relay is: signal detection, transmission, conversion or disposal, the circuit current it is on and off is generally small, and it is generally used in the control circuit to control weak signals.
The primary effect of the contactor is to turn on or off the main circuit. Host...

Peel magnetic relays – what are the ways in which the contacts of relays are used?
There are 3 basic forms of relay contacts:
(1) The two contacts are disconnected when the dynamic type (normally open, H-type) coil is not energized, and the two contacts are closed after the energizing is applied. It is represented by the pinyin prefix "H" of the word "合".
(2) Dynamic breaking type (normally closed, D-type) coil is not energized when the two contacts ...

Pilz: Safety control solution for SIL4 at rail level crossings
On fully enclosed rail transit lines, viaducts or tunnels are usually used to avoid the impact of rail lines on the distance, while on non-fully enclosed rail transit lines, the plane intersection between the railway and the distance, that is, level crossings, is more common.
In the early stage, rail transit ...

Peel magnetic relays – a common fault of electromagnetic relays
1. After the power failure, the armature cannot be released immediately, which may be due to the stuck movable core, the core air gap is too small, the spring strain and the oil caused by the core contact surface, etc. Universal relay maintenance should be treated differently by the cause of failure, or adjust the air gap to protect it from 0.02 to 0.05 mm, ...

Peel magnetic relay - fault judgment and treatment method of safety relay
1. Determine whether the safety relay itself is faulty:
1. Separate from the three circuits of short-circuit S10/S12, S11/S12, S21/S22.
2. Turn on the 24V power supply (A1 is positive, A2 is negative), and the Power light should be on at this moment;
3. Reset the S33/S34 terminals, and the K1 and K2 lamps ...

How Pilz safety relays work
PILZ SAFETY RELAYS GENERALLY CONSIST OF AN IRON CORE, COILS, ARMATURES, CONTACT REEDS, ETC. As long as a certain voltage is added to both ends of the coil, a certain current will flow through the coil, resulting in an electromagnetic effect, and the armature will overcome the tensile force of the return spring under the action of electromagnetic force attraction to ...
