The automation system PSS 4000

Are you looking for a safe and easy way to automate your plant or machinery? The PSS 4000 automation system is the optimum solution for smooth production – and that includes safety and automation! The PSS 4000 is already proven in numerous applications in a variety of industries.

You can assemble the automation system PSS 4000 individually to suit your own requirements. You can achieve this with control systems in various performance classes, a wide range of I/O modules as well as visualisation and engineering software.

Select the controller and the I/O modules with the functions that you require. You'll receive a system that offers you a host of possibilities: innovative control technology, simple programming with PAS4000 and web-based visualisation with PASvisu!

• One system for the entire automation technology
• Merging of safety and automation
• Solution for Industrie 4.0
• Control functions distributed in accordance with the Multi-Master principle
• Simple programming and configuration using PAS4000 software
• Web-based visualisation using PASvisu software
• Safe communication via real-time Ethernet SafetyNET p
• High flexibility due to modular system design
• Can be integrated into existing automation structures

The controllers from the automation system PSS 4000 can be used in accordance with the Multi-Master principle. You can simply link several equal controllers via the real-time Ethernet SafetyNet p. SafetyNET p exchanges data and states between the controllers and synchronises them. So each controller knows what the other is doing.

You can program and configure all network subscribers centrally via the software platform PAS4000. The PASvisu visualisation software enables you to always keep an eye on the project. That makes handling your project really simple, however large it is! Now you can always respond swiftly and flexibly to individual customer requirements!

With the web-based visualisation software PASvisu you have an optimum view of the automation system PSS 4000. You can link the visualisation software PASvisu directly to the control project from the PAS4000 software. That automatically gives you full access to all process variables created in the project as well as to the entire namespace of the automation system. As a result, you can benefit from shorter project run times, faster engineering and a reduced potential for error.

Your plant's data becomes visible on the Pilz Human Machine Interface PMIvisu. The operator terminal is equipped with a high-performance processor and the visualisation software PASvisu is pre-installed and ready to use. The capacitive displays are available in sizes of 7" and 12".

With the automation system PSS 4000 you can implement projects for safety and automation. Both worlds are merging. The system operates without feedback, guaranteeing the safety of human and machine at all times. This ensures that changes or expansions in the control section have no influence on safety.

In the PAS4000 software you can choose freely between configuration with function blocks or programming with editors in accordance with EN IEC 61131-3. Editors for safety and automation functions are always available to you in parallel.

At the start of your project configuration, you may not know exactly which hardware components you need? Not a problem with the PSS 4000 automation system! PSS 4000 enables you to create your project independently of the hardware. Only when the program is assigned to the hardware do you need to choose the corresponding components!

What if you discover that two PSSuniversal PLC controllers are functionally at their limits, for example? Then you simply integrate a third controller. The user program can be redistributed with little effort. What benefits are there for you? Shorter project times!
