System components SafetyNET p

The SafetyNET p system components provide a large number of configuration possibilities for your network topology. Ethernet infrastructure components such as switches, cables and connectors are available.

In Ethernet networks, the SafetyNET p system components form the network infrastructure. The result: different network topologies and increased network extension and performance.

Benefits of the PSSnet switches at a glance

• Various architecture options for Ethernet-based communication systems such as SafetyNET p
• Increase in network availability and network extension
• Enhances communication performance through network segmentation
• Extends the flexibility of the application range for Pilz systems with Ethernet interface

Benefits of the SafetyNET p connectors

Quick and easy installation thanks to insulation displacement contact technology (fast contacting without the need for additional tools)

• Compatible with the "office world" thanks to the RJ45 connector face
• Errors when inserting the wires are avoided by means of colour markings

Switches PSSnet SLL (Switch Low Layer)

• Are suitable for smaller networks
• Can be used for industrial Ethernet systems such as SafetyNET p RTFN/RTFL, PROFINET RT, Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP 
• Plug and play (no configuration necessary)
• Diagnostic LEDs

Switches PSSnet SHL (Switch High Layer)

• Comprehensive management functions enable larger networks
• Can be used for industrial Ethernet systems such as SafetyNET p RTFN/RTFL, PROFINET RT, Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP 
• Web-based management configuration and diagnosis via a web browser
• MRP ring redundancy possible

SafetyNET p connectors

• Standard IP20 connector for installation in industrial applications
• Rapid assembly technology using IDC terminals

SafetyNET p cables

• Standard cable for Industrial Ethernet
• Electrical: Cat 5e, fast Ethernet (100Mbit/s), 4core

Stripping tool for installation

• Tool for stripping the insulation from SafetyNET p cables
• Stripping method saves time, fewer installation errors

Adapting the network topology to the plant layout:

• Star topology
• Tree topology
• Implementation of branches (stub lines)

Increases network availability:

• EMC stability can be increased thanks to fibre-optic communication
• Ring redundancy when the communication path is interrupted, or in the event of a defective component 

Increases network extension:

• Large distances can be bridged without problem thanks to fibre-optic communication
• Distances of up to 30 km are possible

Logic segmentation via VLAN (Virtual LAN):

• PSSnet SHL managed switches support VLAN
• VLAN enables logic segmentation of the network regardless of the physical location of the devices
• Subscribers can be assigned to a VLAN by means of switch configuration
• Utilisation of the available bandwidth can be increased
• Switches can prioritise data from one VLAN over that of another VLAN
