I/O systems PSSuniversal

Alongside the proven technology of the first generation I/O systems PSSuniversal with head modules and corresponding I/O modules, the remote I/O system PSSuniversal 2 is continuing the success story. Improvements to mechanics, handling and diagnostics show the way to the new universal generation.

The communication modules PSSuniversal and PSSuniversal 2 are used for decentralised networking and for transferring safety-related and non-safety-related signals at field level. Using PSSuniversal, a wide range of applications can be implemented by connecting up to 64 I/O modules. You can connect the communication modules to the PLC controllers PSSuniversal or other higher-level controllers.

Communication modules for PSSuniversal

The decentralised I/O system PSSuniversal is the solution for your periphery expansion. It is connected to the higher-level controller as remote I/O.

I/O modules PSSuniversal

Using our I/O modules, you can adapt your controllers and I/O systems individually to your requirements.

IP67 modules for cabinet-free solutions

With PDP67 with protection type IP67, Pilz offers solutions for applications decentrally and directly in the field. You can install the modules directly on the machine. This optimises your installation and wiring work. The module electronics are fully encapsulated. As such they are dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion. They save time, money and space in the control cabinet.

Thanks to the new IO Link Master module for the remote I/O System PSSuniversal 2, you can now connect IO Link devices to the system. The open, worldwide standardised IO technology supports networked production in the spirit of Industrie 4.0. Your benefits: Automated parameterisation and expanded diagnostics!

For communication between the remote I/O system PSSuniversal 2 and I/O Link devices such as sensors and actuators, Pilz offers the IO Link Master module PSS u2 ES 4 IOL. The open IO technology is standardised worldwide to IEC 61131-9 and enables networked production in the spirit of Industrie 4.0. You can connect the IO Link Master module PSS u2 ES 4 IOL to PROFINET and to Ethernet/IP head modules.

Connection of up to four IO Link devices for standard applications is made via four Standard IO Link ports on the master module. The configuration of the IO Link devices can be stored in the IO Link Master and simply transferred when exchanging during service. This is timesaving and reduces errors as well as plant downtimes!

A head module with EtherNet/IP interface has been added to the remote I/O system PSSuniversal 2. So the open system adapts perfectly to your existing system environment. Exchanging the head module is quick and easy: To do this, save your configuration data locally on a microSD card. Then you can easily transfer the data to the new head module with EtherNet/IP interface. The I/O modules can be used universally in an identical manner for the various safety protocols.

In the remote I/O system PSSuniversal 2, various technical and mechanical improvements have been implemented, which bring the user specific time and cost savings. Safety is a basic function of the system, as is always the case with Pilz. In addition to the EtherNET/IP head module with CIP Safety, there is a further head module available with PROFINET PROFIsafe interface.
