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.

Version 10.5 of PNOZmulti Configurator can be used to connect the software of PNOZmulti Configurator directly to the web-based visualisation software PASvisu . All you need is PASvisu from Version 1.4. 

All the project-relevant information from the PNOZmulti project, such as the diagnostic list and function elements, can be displayed and referenced in the visualisation project PASvisu. PVIS OPC Configurator is used as a communication interface between the base unit PNOZmulti and the visualisation via PASvisu.

An overview of the benefits:

• simple, intuitive handling with maximum suitability for use
• Fast, safe automation
• Accelerated projects: From engineering and runtime to maintenance

Download the software PNOZmulti Configurator Version 10.5 now!

• Software with pre-assembled, certified blocks
• Easy, retrospective modifications and adjustments to the configuration
• Simple, comprehensive diagnostics mean short machine downtimes and high plant availability
• Worldwide safety standard for various automation environments and different communication systems
• Rapid commissioning and minimal amount of wiring work – See for yourself!

Configure rather than wire the safety circuit

• Operation is intuitive: creating your safety circuit is refreshingly easy
• Freely configurable: you can set the parameters for all inputs and outputs conveniently with a few clicks in the software tool
• You link these by logical operators to form a safety circuit using drag-and-drop
• You select all input, logic and output elements on the work space

Automatic error check, protection against changes

• Safe: the software tool checks the safety circuit created for errors
• Protected: you can have the completed configuration certified, thereby protecting it from unwanted changes
• Flexible: You can edit, alter or add to uncertified circuit diagrams at any time
• Simple: for documentation just print out the circuit diagram configuration

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.
