Extended field of vision and FSoE connection
With the safe radar system 'Psenradar' from Pilz, safe area monitoring in harsh environments can now be implemented for further applications: Thanks to extended field of view functions, the radar sensors can be integrated more easily.
Customizable fields of view offer advantages, especially in confined spaces. In addition, connection to the open safety protocol Safety over Ethercat (FSoE) is now possible. In addition to the radar sensor with a detection range of 0 to 5 m, there is also the safe radar sensor 'PSEN rd1.2 sensor F-FOV LR' with a range of 0 to 9 m, which enables efficient protection of mobile applications. A new feature of both sensor devices is the ability to flexibly configure fields of view: In addition to the symmetrical viewing angle, asymmetrical and corridor-shaped viewing angles can also be set. The new evaluation unit of the 'Psenradar' radar system from Pilz enables FSoE functionality in accordance with IEC 61508 for safety applications up to SIL 3.
