Overview
Configurable systems PNOZmulti
The configurable systems PNOZmulti are suitable for implementing multiple safety func-
tions on a plant or machine. Thanks to its modular structure, PNOZmulti can be adapted to
the size of the plant and machinery. With a large number of the most diverse modules and
a variety of base units, you can design your application with the utmost flexibility. 3 different
PNOZmulti systems are available, depending on your requirement.
} Configurable safety systems PNOZmulti
The configurable safety systems PNOZmulti are the classic units among the configur-
able systems. They are suitable for use from four safety functions upwards. The sys-
tems are characterised by a comprehensive range of module and communication op-
tions.
} Configurable small control systems PNOZmulti Mini
The configurable small control systems PNOZmulti Mini are mainly used from three
safety functions upwards. The small control systems have a lower number of expansion
modules than PNOZmulti and PNOZmulti 2.
} Configurable control systems PNOZmulti 2
The configurable control systems PNOZmulti 2 are suitable for use from four safety
functions upwards. They accommodate the full function range of the "classic"
PNOZmulti on 45 mm width. The base unit has an illuminated display - for even faster
diagnostics.
Modular structure
} The configurable systems PNOZmulti consist of a base unit and various expansion
modules. The expansion modules that can be connected depend on the type of base
unit (see section entitled System expansion [
29]).
The units from the three systems Configurable safety systems PNOZmulti, Config-
urable small control systems PNOZmulti Mini and Configurable control systems
PNOZmulti 2 are not interchangeable.
} The base unit has various inputs and outputs and is also fully functional without expan-
sion modules.
} The expansion modules supplement the base unit with additional inputs or outputs.
Configuration in the PNOZmulti Configurator
} The system's function is defined via the PNOZmulti Configurator.
} The PNOZmulti Configurator is a graphic tool which is used to define the functions of
the units. Various safety functions are available, such as emergency stop, two-hand
monitoring, safety gate monitoring and drive monitoring. With the correct circuitry it is
possible to achieve categories up to PL e of EN ISO 13849-1 and SIL CL 3 of EN IEC
62061.
