Save Costs with Decentralized Periphery from Pilz!

For cabinet-free installation with IP67 modules
With the PDP67 modules, Pilz offers solutions for decentralized applications directly in the field. The modules have protection type IP67, meaning they are resistant to dirt and water. The decentralized modules optimize installation and wiring work. They save time, money and space in the control cabinet.
As they are integrated into dirt and water-repellent IP67 housings, the PDP67 modules reliably ensure safety even in rugged industrial environments.
You will find the required cable, connector and adapter accessories under connection technology.
Connect safe sensors directly
PDP67 modules are used directly in the field, and forward signals from the sensors connected decentrally in the field to the safe small controller PNOZmulti 2.
Pilz is expanding its product portfolio for decentralised applications with the input and output modules PDP67 F 10DI4DO 5/8 ION (VA). The PDP67 modules have ten safe digital inputs and, as a new feature, have four safe semiconductor outputs, which enable the modular safety gate system PSENmlock to be connected directly, for example. You configure your safety circuit in the software tool PNOZmulti Configurator. You can connect up to four of the modules with protection type IP67 to the PNOZmulti 2 via the link module PNOZ m EF PDP-Link.
Up to four safe sensors per PDP67 module – so a total of up to 64 sensors– can be monitored flexibly in the field in this way. A version with stainless steel screw connections is available, for use in the food industry. M12 plug-in connectors, two 5-pin and two 8-pin, link sensors and actuators quickly and easily to the PDP67 module.
- Complicated wiring is avoided
- Reduces costs when expanding and commissioning modular production plants
Save costs with decentralized periphery!
The new decentralized input and output module PDP67 F 8DI4DO 5/5 ION can be parameterized from software version 11.4.0 of the PNOZmulti Configurator and has eight safe digital inputs and four safe semiconductor outputs. Eight outputs are configurable as standard, test pulse or 24 V. Possible connections are four 5-pin M12 plug-in connectors for direct connection of coded safety gate switches PSENcode or safety light curtains PSENopt II, for example. The version PDP67 F 8DI4DO 5/5 VA ION with stainless steel screw connections is available for use in the food industry.
Decentralized safety for modular plants
Flexible and modular automation solutions require I/O systems that offer personnel and process protection directly at the point of danger. The new PDP67 PN with Profinet/Profisafe interface enables exactly that. Thanks to the IP67 protection type and robust zinc housing it is ideal for positioning on the machine, outside of the control cabinet. It provides reliable safety even at temperatures of -30°C to 70°C!
The I/O module is simple to configure and can easily be integrated into existing Profinet/Profisafe networks. The absence of control cabinets and the use of simple M12 plug-in connectors reduces the wiring work significantly. That saves time during commissioning and enables modular production plants to be expanded with ease. Thanks to universal connections, which can be configured as both inputs and outputs, users only need to keep one type of PDP67 PN in stock. That saves additional space in the warehouse!
