Software tool PNOZmulti Configurator

Your safety circuit is easy to create on the PC using the PNOZmulti Configurator. The configuration tool supports you with project design, configuration, documentation and commissioning of the Pilz small controllers.

On the graphics-based, Windows®-compliant user interface, all elements are available for your safety circuit as icons or in selection menus. Online help with documentation is available during configuration of the safety circuit. Once this is complete, the tool checks the circuit for error sources.

From Software Version 10.9 of the PNOZmulti Configurator you can test your configured user program using the "Simulation" function, even before commissioning.

The fully configured safety circuit can be certified to protect it from unwanted changes. You can edit, amend or expand uncertified configurations of your safety circuit at any time. Simply call them up in the PNOZmulti Configurator! The configuration can be printed out and used as documentation.

Already familiar with the 2nd generation of small controllers PNOZmulti? The success story continues!

These are the new features you'll find in Version 11.2.0:

• Key-in-pocket solution:

For lockout-tagout and to protect against unauthorised restart, combine the small controllers PNOZmulti 2 and reader units PITreader with RFID technology. Three new function elements in the software tool enable you to implement safe access and restart management for plant and machinery. All keys that are logged in are stored in a list in the user program. A machine is not enabled to restart until all keys are logged out. Tampering is excluded, as the key may not remain in the PITreader, either when accessing or leaving the plant. The blind spot element requires areas of the plant that are not in view to be inspected prior to any restart. In this way you can provide flexible safeguarding of service operations on your plant and machinery. You can log in and out on each door and thus save time, particularly on larger plants.

• Standalone base unit PNOZ m C0 with security key:

The proposed new Machinery Regulation (successor to the Machinery Directive) requires security mechanisms that prevent access to device data. Security features are already accounted for in the PNOZ m C0. So PNOZmulti 2 is well equipped for the future.

• Monitoring analogue values safely:

Two new function elements are available for the safe analogue input module PNOZ m EF 4AI, when configuring the module program. The differentiation element records a change in analogue value over a certain period. The “ramp” element is used if you want to monitor whether a value moves within defined upper and lower limits. If a value exceeds or falls below these limits – plus a tolerance – PNOZmulti 2 initiates appropriate remedial measures. Whether you are monitoring fill level, temperature, pressure, speed or other values - your processes are safe.

• Up to 84 standard outputs on the base unit PNOZ m B1:

You can connect up to 6 output modules PNOZ m ES 14 DO to the base unit PNOZ m B1. So you can activate indicator lights, signal lamps, illuminated pushbuttons and many other standard tasks, economically.

Download now! No licence costs - Version 11.2 PNOZmulti Configurator

For the safe configurable small controller PNOZmulti 2, Version 11.0 of the corresponding software tool PNOZmulti Configurator is available. Download for free, install, open, work intuitively! The software tool offers you state-of-the-art safety and for years has been the benchmark for safety software.

Get the basics for automation free!

From Version 11 there is a significant change in terms of licensing: the “basic” functionality version of the software tool PNOZmulti Configurator is now available to use free of licence costs. The software can be downloaded free of charge and used in automation projects. A licence fee is still payable for “Advanced” software elements.

Significant innovation in Version 11

• “Basic” version is free of licence costs
• New, higher performance software architecture
• Supports Windows 64 Bit system
• Streamlining of the product range: all 2nd generation base units such as PNOZ m B0, PNOZ m B1, PNOZ m B1 Burner and the new base unit PNOZ m B0.1
• All PNOZmulti 2 expansion modules

Version 11 is used to create new PNOZmulti 2 projects and to open and edit existing PNOZmulti 2 projects. Powerflow, diagnostics, error stack etc. are available as usual for commissioning and maintenance.

Version 10.14 “long-term-supported” version (released July 2021)

• Contains hardware from the product ranges PNOZmulti 2, PNOZmulti Classic and PNOZmulti Mini
• This version can be used to migrate PNOZmulti Classic or Mini projects to PNOZmulti 2
• Open, edit, create PNOZmulti Classic/Mini projects
• New PNOZmulti 2 hardware will now only be supported from Version 11.0 and above

Flyer for safe small controllers PNOZmulti Configurator Version 11

• Software with ready-made, certified blocks
• Simple, retrospective changes and adaptations to the configuration
• Short machine downtimes and high plant availability due to simple, universal diagnostics
• Worldwide safety standard for various automation environments and different communication systems
• Rapid commissioning and minimal work involved in wiring - why not see for yourself!

Configure rather than wire the safety circuit

• Intuitive operation: creating your safety circuit is simple
• Freely configurable: parameters for all inputs and outputs are easily set with a few clicks in the software tool
• Use logic operators to link these to form a safety circuit via drag-and-drop
• All function, logic and output elements are selected on the workspace

Automatic error check, protection against changes

• Safe: the software tool checks the created safety circuit for error sources
• Protected: you can certify the completed configuration, thereby protecting it from unwanted changes
• Flexible: you can edit, amend or expand uncertified circuit diagrams at any time.
• Simple: print out the circuit diagram configuration for documentation
