Upgrade to PNOZmulti 2 in record time

With the new migration solution, upgrading from PNOZmulti Classic to PNOZmulti 2 becomes significantly easier:

The use of a module carrier with an integrated interface enables a plug‑and‑play migration, with no rewiring and no modifications to the control cabinet. As a result, system downtime is reduced from several days to approximately 1.5 hours, while maintaining full CE compliance.

The outcome: a fast, technically clean, and economically efficient modernization of existing machines and systems.

For PNOZmulti 2, the TÜV EU type‑examination certificate according to Article 25 of the Machinery Regulation is already available. The configurable safe small controller already meets the requirements of the EU Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 (MVO), which becomes mandatory on 20 January 2027. This means that PNOZmulti 2 is optimally positioned from a regulatory standpoint for all new machines and systems that will be placed on the market under the MVO.

Your advantage: You are investing today in a solution that will continue to meet regulatory requirements tomorrow — securing a clear competitive edge.

• Planning certainty during the transition from the Machinery Directive to the Machinery Regulation
• Reduced risk in development, certification, and market placement
• Faster market access through demonstrably compliant safety solutions

1. Maximum availability

Machine downtime of several days is reduced to roughly 1.5 hours — a dramatic improvement that keeps your equipment productive and your processes running. This minimizes interruptions, maximizes overall system availability, and significantly lowers the barrier to modernizing existing machinery.

3. Preservation of Compliance

Since this does not constitute a significant modification, the existing CE compliance remains fully intact. To verify correct implementation, either a safety check or a functional inspection must be carried out. This results in no additional costs and no loss of time — ideal for projects operating under tight deadlines.

2. Seamless Integration

The module carrier and its interface require no structural modifications and integrate seamlessly into the existing infrastructure. Depending on the available space, it is offered in either a U‑shaped or Y‑shaped design. This makes it ideal even when cable ducts are positioned closely together, while still providing additional space above.

4. Cost‑Effectiveness

The newly supplied wiring diagram for the module can be seamlessly integrated into the existing documentation. This enables a particularly fast and smooth transition, without any additional documentation effort. As a result, the upgrade is not only technically straightforward but also highly attractive from an economic standpoint.
