PNOZmulti 2 small controller - Communication modules

You can connect the configurable safe small controllers PNOZmulti to all common fieldbus and Ethernet systems. So connection to the widest range of operational controllers is guaranteed. The communication modules are used to transmit diagnostic and status information to a higher level controller.

PNOZmulti 2 is a safe small controller with an extensive range of connection options. It is refreshingly easy to configure the inputs and outputs on the fieldbus module in the software tool PNOZmulti Configurator. Use the communication and fieldbus modules to read diagnostic data and to set virtual inputs and outputs for automation functions.

If PNOZmulti needs to be connected to a different fieldbus system, that's easy to do without any program changes. You can simply exchange one fieldbus module for another suitable one. Select the diagnostic solution PVIS with a click in the software tool PNOZmulti Configurator. You can easily integrate your individual customised texts.

For visualisation use the web-based visualisation software PASvisu, which in conjunction with the operator terminals PMIvisu offers the perfect automation solution.

• Worldwide application options through connection to all common fieldbus and Ethernet systems
• Easy to exchange fieldbus modules without amending the program
• Short downtimes and high plant availability through user-friendly diagnostic options
• Safe communication via the real-time Ethernet SafetyNET p
• The safe, small controllers PNOZmulti 2 can be used irrespective of the industry, country or machine type

Up to 16 PNOZmulti 2 base units can now be linked via the safe real-time Ethernet SafetyNET p. Use the safe expansion module PNOZ m EF SafetyNET to do this! In the first step a link is available via linear topology. 32-bit data is exchanged via RTFL, enabling short cycle times in your application. A clearly structured data interface where the inputs are configured with 128 bit and the outputs with 32 bit characterises the data link.

The software tool PNOZmulti Network Editor is used for configuration of a SafetyNET p network and for project linking. It is called up directly from the PNOZmulti Configurator and can link variables from the input and output image of PNOZmulti projects. Once uploaded into the PNOZmulti systems, the SafetyNET p network is ready to use.

Use the safe expansion module PNOZ m EF SafetyNET for each base unit (PNOZ m B0 or B1). The base units can be combined as required. PNOZmulti and PNOZmulti Mini base units can also be incorporated into the network via a Multi Link expansion module.
