Pilz: The best helper for safety control systems

Create Date: 2024-8-30 12:03:23|Source: PILZ/PILZ

The safety control system generates a large amount of data at all times while ensuring the safety functions of its equipment. For example, when the E-STOP button is pressed, when someone opens a certain safety door, who switches the machine to service mode when, etc. This data is valuable to equipment managers, and it is of great significance for equipment operation and maintenance and production safety to collect and use it cost-effectively.

Is there a product that can cost-effectively capture this data and share it with the people who need it?

Of course! The IIoT gateway Revolution Pi from Pilz is a good choice.

Revolution Pi's IIoT application architecture

Hardware and software for industrial applications

In terms of hardware, compared to the traditional Raspberry Pi, the Revolution Pi can be fully used in industrial environments, with a 24VDC power supply, IEC 61131-2 compliant, strong immunity to interference, and can operate in temperatures from -40 °C to +55 °C, and the left and right ends of the CPU module can be expanded with digital and analog IO inputs and outputs, as well as different fieldbus modules.

In terms of software, the Revolution Pi comes with integrated Pictory configuration software and Codesys real-time operating environment, which can easily configure the above hardware and achieve lightweight PLC functions. In addition, the Revolution Pi also integrates the Node-Red and Python programming environments, and uses the characteristics of the Raspberry Pi itself to realize computer functions such as protocol conversion, data processing and storage, and cloud access. This "multi-hate" capability makes the Revolution Pi ideal for IIoT applications.

Node-Red programming environment in Revolution Pi

The Revolution Pi can be used as a normal PLC, but at the same time, it is essentially an industrial computer, which is superior in performance to ordinary PLCs. The Revolution Pi, which is compatible with PLC and PC functions, will be a powerful boost to users' IIoT applications.
