Rapid access to the machine once standstill is initiated, reduced setup times due to better insight into the setup area and greater work safety due to safely limited setup speed: these are just some of the advantages of a safe speed solution. However, which solution is right each time can only be decided based on the application.
Find the right speed monitoring solution
Essentially, the choice of the right speed monitoring solution depends on the number of axes to be monitored and the safety functions that are to be monitored. The existing drive system is a second factor: The question that needs to be answered is whether monitoring is to be drive-integrated, i.e. within the local drive itself, or is to take place externally. Another factor is the configuration, which can either be performed directly via the device through parameter settings, or can be made simply via a configuration tool.
Pilz solutions
With Pilz, customers can choose from a broad portfolio of safe speed monitoring products: Whereas the speed monitor PNOZ s30 is used as a standalone module, the speed module from the configurable control system PNOZmulti can always be used when additional safety functions need to be monitored within an application. If you need short reaction times or advanced safety functions, such as safe brake functions on vertical axes, Pilz offers a drive-integrated safety solution with the safe servo amplifier PMCprotego DS. Finally, for speed monitoring on networked plant and machinery containing standard and safety functions, there's the new automation system PSS 4000 to consider. So at every turn, we have the right solution.
