Safetybus P safety bus is a proven bus system of pirci. It was born in 1999 and developed based on CAN communication technology. It communicates through shielded 3-core cable. Through safetybus P, the PSS programmable safety control system can be networked safely and quickly. If the field modules of other manufacturers are used on site, its open protocol can be perfectly compatible. When implementing safety control technology, safetybus P’s scheme is economical and practical, and is widely used in automobile, steel, paper semiconductor, metal processing, water treatment, energy, logistics, chemical industry and other industries.
From PSS sb DIO to pssuniversal
In 2005, Pilz company launched a substitute for PSS sb DIO series products. The modular remote I / O site pssuniversal can freely match IO modules according to the actual situation of customers, which greatly increases the flexibility compared with the old products. At most one head module of pssuniversal can support 64 digital input and output points. If you need to replace PSS sb di16 module, you only need to select one pssu h sb interface module, one pssu e f PS power module, four pssu e f 4di safety digital input modules and corresponding terminals. In terms of volume, the new station – pssuniversal is smaller, the height is the same as PSS sb di16 module, and the width is narrower than PSS sb di16 module, so it occupies less electric cabinet space. Pssuniversal remote I / O station supports safetybus P communication as well as third-party communication, such as PROFIBUS DP, to facilitate customers to deal with the interaction between safety and standard signals at the same time. The support of standard signal module also makes the pssuniversal remote I / O station not limited to the application related to processing safety signals, and can collect standard signals to make it more flexible to communicate with the third-party PLC.
Before the launch of pssuniversal, safetybus P compact safe remote I / O station PSS sb DIO was used in many industries. With the upgrading of semiconductor technology and the upgrading of product technology, PSS sb DIO series products have been discontinued since 2015. Many users began to worry that they could not purchase follow-up spare parts, resulting in equipment shutdown in case of failure, affecting the overall service life and economic benefits of the equipment.
In fact, pirci has considered the convenience of upgrading when developing pssuniversal. If the customer wants to upgrade the safety control system, as long as the original PSS sb DIO series module on the hardware is replaced with pssuniversal series, in terms of program, it is only necessary to modify the safety bus topology configuration of the program in win-pro software without modifying any code logic part. This method not only shortens the unnecessary downtime of users, but also greatly reduces the workload of equipment transformation.
For users unfamiliar with the safetybus P system, we can provide a complete set of upgrade solutions, from hardware product replacement and upgrade to software program modification, to help customers successfully complete the replacement of the whole set of safety system.
From PSS 3000 to PSS 4000
With the update of semiconductor technology, pss3000 series products have also completed its historical mission. Instead of pss4000 series products, pss4000 system is superior to pss3000 system in all convenience, smaller module volume, faster CPU processing and running speed, more scalable IO module configuration, etc, It even includes pss4000-r products with higher safety level, which are specially used in the railway industry. At the same time, the safetybus P security bus is also upgraded to safetynet P security Ethernet communication, which has longer transmission distance and faster response time, and can access data at each point in the network. Similarly, Pilz provides users in need with the service of upgrading pss3000 to pss4000 system, which greatly improves the service life and production efficiency of user safety control system.
The change of safetybus P system is only an epitome of the upgrading of pirci products. Pirci products continue to push through the old and bring forth the new, and the service quality is always online. Pirci is committed to helping users achieve safe production with its own professional knowledge and awareness of equipment safety. It is a reliable “safety consultant” for users.
