} Using predefined symbols, a simple circuit diagram shows how the units’ inputs and
outputs should be connected. This circuit diagram is then downloaded to the base unit.
} The system can be expanded or the functions modified at any time.
} Frequently used parts of the circuit diagram can be combined into macro elements,
stored in the macro library and reused.
Inputs
} The configurable systems PNOZmulti have semiconductor inputs for safety-related and
standard applications.
} The inputs for standard applications can also be set via the integrated interface or via
fieldbus modules (e.g. PROFIBUS-DP, CANopen, ...).
} Decentralised input modules provide safe inputs for use up to IP67.
} Analogue input modules can be connected to the base units of the configurable safety
system PNOZmulti, thereby providing safe analogue inputs. The input signals are con-
verted into digital signals.
For standard applications, the exact analogue values are made available to the base
unit to forward to a fieldbus.
Outputs
} The configurable systems PNOZmulti have various outputs.
– Relay safety outputs
– Semiconductor safety outputs
– Semiconductor outputs for standard applications
} The safety outputs use semiconductor technology, require no maintenance and are
non-wearing; they are therefore suitable for applications with frequent operations or
cyclical functions. They can be used for 24 VDC applications.
} Safe semiconductor outputs with advanced fault detection can also be configured for
the base units PNOZmulti Mini. These single-channel semiconductor outputs can be
used to achieve a higher level of safety.
} The relay safety outputs are suitable for less frequent operations, but they have a
higher breaking capacity and can be used for AC applications.
} The outputs for standard applications can also be evaluated via the integrated interface
or via fieldbus modules (e.g. PROFIBUS-DP, CANopen, ...).
