The new radar sensor PSEN rd1.2 can be used for Cat. 3 / PL d and so can safely protect robot applications too!

For safe protection zone monitoring even in rugged conditions, the Pilz portfolio now includes another sensor for the safe radar system PSENradar: the new radar sensor PSEN rd1.2 can be used for Cat. 3 / PL d and so can safely protect robot applications too. In conjunction with the equally new analysing unit PSEN rd1.x I/O PN, it is now even easier to incorporate the safe radar system into existing applications, so optimising commissioning. The safe radar system is used anywhere that optoelectronic sensors reach their limits. Particularly in rugged application conditions, such as in woodworking, mineral and steel processing / heavy industry, and the transport and logistics sector, PSENradar in conjunction with the configurable small controller PNOZmulti 2 represents a safe, complete solution for protection zone monitoring – including conformity assessment.
The new PSEN rd1.x I/O PN analysing unit in the safe radar system now offers both an Ethernet and a Profisafe interface in addition to the existing interfaces. As a result the safe radar system can be more versatile when it is incorporated into existing applications. It is also possible to generate more zone sets. That makes configuration easier and ensures greater plant availability.
