Configurable control systems PNOZmulti 2 – Communication modules

The configurable control systems PNOZmulti 2 can be connected to common fieldbus and Ethernet systems such as SafetyNET p, PROFINET, PROFIBUS-DP, CANopen, Modbus-TCP, EtherCAT, POWERLINK and CC-Link. So connection to a very wide range of operational control systems is guaranteed. The communication modules are used to transmit diagnostic and status information to a higher level controller.

PNOZmulti 2 is a control system 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 customer texts.

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

This makes it straightforward to use the configurable control systems PNOZmulti 2 independently of 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 achieve this! In the first step, you can perform linking using linear topology. 32-bit data is exchanged via RTFL for short scan times in practice. 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 it can link the variables of 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.
