Pilz - Software tool 'PNOZmulti Configurator':
From software version 10.13, new function blocks for easy configuration of safe user programs are available in the PNOZmulti Configurator software tool for the configurable small controller 'PNOZmulti 2' from Pilz. The package includes an L-muting function block for light curtain applications, logic function blocks for safety gate solutions and for monitoring analog functions, as well as blocks for more comprehensive coding and decoding.
From version 10.13, so-called L-muting applications can be created via the 'PNOZmulti Configurator'. The function offers all L-muting functions, such as deactivating/activating the light grid and controlling the muting lamp. A logic module for configuring the signal sequence for guard locking of the safe safety gate system 'PSENmlock' makes it easier to implement safety gate solutions.
For monitoring analog functions, the 'Mathematics' function has been extended to include multiplication and division of analog values. This means that even more complex calculations for applications consisting of several analog sensors can be handled. The monitoring of processes, temperatures, pressures or other analog values can now be managed comprehensively and uniformly using the new functions of the module: from joint consideration to plausibility and calculation, for example for the filling time for containers.
Two logic function blocks, Digital Encoder and Digital Decoder, are also available for encoding and decoding input and output signals.
