Pilz’s Safety Device Diagnostics solution is comprised of a fieldbus module, junction, and safe sensor technology. The diagnostic solution is designed to enable a wide range of sensor data to be called up including over distance. Service operations can be reduced and increase productivity as a result. Safety Device Diagnostics also provide data such as partial operation, voltage spikes and dips, temperature effects, switching cycles, bounce and RFID identification as diagnostic information. The integrated display on the fieldbus module also ensures that information is available not only on machine monitors but also directly in the control cabinet. The fieldbus module provides a single interface for the plant bus for all connected safety devices, helping to minimize installation work. Third-party devices can also be connected directly via the integrated input and outputs (I/Os). Safety Device Diagnostics is also easily expandable and supports a modular machine structure.
