Software tools for the small control systems PNOZmulti

Your safety circuit is easy to create on the PC using the PNOZmulti Configurator. The configuration tool supports you with the project design, configuration, documentation and commissioning of Pilz control systems.

The graphics-based user interface conforms to the Windows® standard; all elements are available for your safety circuit as icons or in selection menus. Online help with documentation is available during configuration of the safety circuit. Once it is complete, the tool checks the circuit for faults.

To protect the fully configured safety circuit from unwanted changes, it can be certified. You can edit, alter or add to uncertified configurations of your safety circuit at any time. Simply call them up in the PNOZmulti Configurator! The configuration can be printed out and used as documentation.

The simple handling of the software PNOZmulti is impressive. You use one software tool, from planning through to commissioning. Discover everything about the most important new features of Version 10.6 and where you can download the software.

Safe communication via SafetyNETp

• New expansion module PNOZ m EF SafetyNET available; can be used with PNOZmulti 2 base units (PNOZ m B0 and PNOZ m B1)
• The software tool PNOZmulti Network Editor is used to configure the connection between base units. This enables simple mapping between the Configurator and the network projects.

New motion monitoring safety functions

• The motion monitoring modules PNOZ m EF 1MM/2MM of the configurable small controllers PNOZmulti 2 ensure that your drives are safely monitored
• From Hardware Version 2.2, monitoring of safely limited acceleration SLA-M and the safe acceleration range SAR-M have been added to the existing safety functions SS1 / SS2 / SSR / SSM / SDI / SOS. This makes your plant and machinery even safer and more productive.

New features on the base unit PNOZ m B1

• Specific fieldbus modules can be selected
• Possible to use virtual and fieldbus inputs/outputs simultaneously

The new features are available from Version 10.6 of the PNOZmulti Configurator. Download the demo software from our download area now (for registered users).

PNOZmulti Configurator – Video tutorials

The configuration tool PNOZmulti Configurator supports you with the project design, configuration, documentation and commissioning of the configurable small control systems PNOZmulti. See for yourself! The video tutorials demonstrate the key functions of the PNOZmulti Configurator.

Safe Ethernet connection

The PNOZmulti Configurator is the original tool for configuring safety circuits with the configurable control systems PNOZmulti. The block "Safe Ethernet Connection Status" (SEC) can be used for safe communication with the control systems in the automation system PSS 4000. In this video, you can find out how to apply the block quickly and simply.

Creating macros

Create safety circuits on your PC using the Configurator for the configurable control systems PNOZmulti. You can work even more efficiently by creating macros. Parts of the configuration can be combined into macro elements at the click of a mouse.

PNOZmulti Configurator from Version 8, including macros

• Efficient: from Version 8, you can combine parts of a created configuration to form macro elements
• Clear: complex projects become clear, shortening the time taken up by diagnostics and fault rectification
• Fast: simple import and export function, plus the ability to edit macros within the editor, reduces your engineering time and saves costs
• Re-usable: macros that have previously been created are stored in the macro library so that they are available for all further safety circuits. You save time, while quality always stays the same
• Protect your knowledge: Macros can be read and write protected
• Faster support: you only send the macros – not the whole project configuration
• Macro programming not currently possible with PNOZ m B1

Storing macros in the library

The configuration tool supports you with the project design, configuration, documentation and commissioning of Pilz control systems. Macros help you work even more efficiently. Once the macros have been created they are automatically stored in the Project Manager and can be reused at any time.

User interface texts translatable into every language

The user can translate all texts (project, diagnostics, GUI) in the PNOZmulti Configurator. This means that the Configurator can now be used in the local language in any country in the world. So you can generate your own tool languages for those languages not available from Pilz.

Creating a decentralised structure using link modules for PNOZmulti 2

The PNOZmulti Configurator supports the link modules for PNOZmulti 2 for decentralisation and safe communication between multiple base units. Find out how easy it is to create a decentralised structure!

In order to use the full scope of the PNOZmulti Configurator for your safety circuit, you will need a valid licence in addition to the software package. (Without a licence, the PNOZmulti Configurator can only be used in a demo version.)

A range of licences are available to meet varying requirements:

• Basic Licence: single user licence, issued to one owner (company name and location/project must be stated)
• User Licence: Discounted licence for an additional workstation, issued to the owner of a basic licence.
• Lite Licence: licence limited to the base units PNOZ m0p and PNOZ mm0p, for use on one workstation.
• Multi User Licence: Multi-user licence, graduated according to the number of workstations (up to 25, 50, 100 and over 100)
• Project Licence: Licence to use the software within a contractually limited framework.
• Basic/User/Multi User/Project Upgrade Licence: reduced-price licence for owners of a licence to upgrade to a newer version of the software
• Time Limited Licence: basic licence limited to 2, 3 or 4 months

These licence types are available as a full version or service version:

• The full version provides the whole functional range of a licence.
• The service version of a licence is intended for service and maintenance. It only offers limited editing features.
