Product presentationsNews about control technology
What's happening in the field of control systems and motion control? Computer&AUTOMATION has summarized current products from the field of control technology in a picture gallery.
There are two new modules for the configurable, safe small controllers "PNOZmulti 2" from Pilz - one each for the safe monitoring of press applications and for the safe monitoring of process values. The two-pole semiconductor output module PNOZ m EF 8DI2DOT is suitable for the safe monitoring of mechanical presses. An independent module program ("mIQ") can be configured here, which is executed locally on the press module with much shorter cycle times. This enables very short response times. The safe analog input module PNOZ m EF 4AI extends the product family of safe small controllers. Arithmetic functions such as averaging and differential pressure calculation make it easier to configure the analog values. The module is used for the safe monitoring of process values; it records and monitors any process operations such as pressure, temperature, fill level or rope speed and load safely up to PL e or SIL CL 3.
