Pilz - Safe radar system PSENradar
New applications thanks to enlarged field of view and FSoE connection
Working safely under the harshest conditions
With Pilz' safe radar system PSENradar, safe area monitoring in harsh environments can now be implemented for other applications as well: Thanks to the extensive field of view functions, the radar sensors can be more easily integrated into different production environments. The flexibility of adaptable fields of view offers particular advantages in tight spaces. Furthermore, coupling to the open safety protocol Safety over EtherCAT FSoE is now possible: Wiring work and costs are reduced.
In addition to the already available radar sensor with a detection range of 0 to 5 meters, the safe radar sensor PSEN rd1.2 sensor F-FOV LR with a range of 0 to 9 meters is now also available. This makes it possible to efficiently secure mobile applications.
Flexible viewing angle = more productivity
New to both sensor devices are the options for flexibly configuring fields of view: in addition to the symmetrical viewing angle, asymmetrical and corridor viewing angles can also be set. This means that PSENradar can be used reliably in different production environments. This also saves space in production, especially if space is limited when machines are close together, for example, or there are walkways directly along machines. Since the field of view settings can now be configured more individually, the radar sensor can be placed more flexibly without restricting production activities. This not only provides greater safety in harsh environments, but also increases productivity.
Radar connects
PSENradar together with the configurable small control PNOZmulti 2 from Pilz offers a secure overall solution for the monitoring of protected areas - including secure data transfer with FSoE in the EtherCAT communication system. The new processing unit of the PSENradar radar system enables FSoE functionality according to IEC 61508 for safety applications up to SIL 3. As an FSoE-MainInstance (FSoE-Master), PNOZmulti 2 combines the monitoring of all safety functions of a radar application in one device and makes connections to safe FSoE SubordinateInstances (FSoE slaves) in the network.
In the overall package of the safe small control PNOZmulti 2 as FSoE-MainInstance with safe radar system, this safety-relevant coupling can be easily implemented as a single-cable solution with minimal wiring costs.

Plukon - Scanning for the futureRead moreThe Plukon poultry slaughterhouse in Blokker has installations from all kinds of machine builders and suppliers. Each of these has its own control system and associated components from different brands. This situation has developed over time, with the result that Plukon lost track of the overall picture. When it became clear that many components were now obsolete, the company decided to have itsme carry out a FactoryScan. ‘This gives us more peace of mind and helps us to better plan the replacement of components for the future.’
