PILZ Australia says PSSuniversal is an economical solution for standard control functions and/or safety-related functions in mid-range and high-end automation projects and suitable for use in the mining industry.

The PSSuniversal is a versatile, scalable control platform that can be easily integrated within machinery or process control systems.

Pilz Australia says the technology enables machine builders and system integrators to save costs through a reduced requirement for engineering resource and by virtue of the fact that customers only pay for what they need.Key benefits for PSSuniversal stem from the concept in which standard control functions and safety functions are carefully united, yet they remain separated in order to maintain the integrity of the safety-related functions.

To help users integrate the decentralised PSSuniversal platform within a complex system, communication via all common standard fieldbus protocols (CANopen, DeviceNet and Profibus-DP) is supported, as well as SafetyBUS p, the fail-safe, open industrial fieldbus system.

For making remote connections to safety components on the machine, the PSS67 digital input module is sealed to IP67. This simplifies installations and reduces the cost of control cabinets and wiring operations.
