Communicate safely at field level – in one system

IO-Link Safety opens up new possibilities for flexible and efficient automation. How does it work? It's simple: safe point-to-point communication enables the seamless integration of sensors directly in the field – quickly, easily and reliably. At the same time, you benefit from extended diagnostic options that provide targeted support for your process optimisation. Thanks to simple installation, fast wiring and intelligent diagnostic functions, you create the basis for flexible and productive automation.

Your advantages at a glance:

- Safe communication from the controller to the sensor in the field
- Globally standardised in accordance with IEC 61139-2
- Maximum safety up to Performance Level e according to EN ISO 13849-1 (SIL 3 according to IEC 61508/62061)
- Independent of the fieldbus system

Pilz supports you with integration into your application and offers a complete system from a single source: master, devices, suitable cables and configuration tool.

Automate safely – with Pilz safety sensors

The correct use of sensors in the field enables a consistent safety concept and therefore safe automation. Pilz offers a versatile portfolio of safety sensors for a wide range of applications:

- Safety switches for position monitoring
- Safety locking devices for safety gate protection
- Safety light curtains for guarding danger zones
- Safety laser scanners for area monitoring
- Safe radar systems for protection zone monitoring

PILZ safety sensors protect people and machines – while maintaining maximum productivity. They are durable, robust in use and comply with international safety standards. Thanks to comprehensive diagnostic data, the sensors enable predictive maintenance and reduce downtime. Flexible in use, they can be used to implement individual safety solutions. In combination with control technology from Pilz, they create a holistic automation solution – safe, efficient, and future-oriented.

Identification and Access Management – I.A.M.

We are familiar with the challenges you face in day-to-day production:
- Access to production plants is unprotected.
- Anonymous passwords are known.
- Data is accessible to all employees.
- Responsibilities are not clearly regulated.
- There are high liability risks in the event of work accidents.
- Manipulations lead to production stoppage.
- New standards and directives in the field of security must be implemented.

With “Identification and Access Management”, I.A.M. for short, we are offering a wide-ranging package of products and software, as well as tailor-made solutions for the daily challenges of access management. The options range from simple authentication to complex access permissions and access management through to safe operating mode selection, maintenance safeguarding and protection of data and networks. With our maintenance safeguarding system Key-in-pocket, you can protect your personnel from the unplanned restart of machines or systems as long as people are in the danger zone. In comparison with conventional lockout tagout (LOTO) systems, the maintenance safeguarding with the Key-in-pocket solution is implemented via RFID keys with corresponding permissions and a safe list in the Pilz controllers. As a result, it provides purely electronic restart protection and makes mechanical interlocking devices and warning tags redundant.

Your benefits at a glance:
- Authentication of persons, safe restart protection
- Full control of who has access to which machine; temporary permission is also possible
- Simple blocking and fast reprogramming in the event that a transponder key is lost
- Certifications: PL d Cat. 3 of EN ISO 13849-1, SIL CL 2 of EN 62061 and SIL 2 of IEC 61508
- Considerably less expensive and more flexible than systems made of metal

MYZEL® Lifecycle – Safety for human and machines in one platform

In an increasingly connected production world, data is the key to efficiency, safety and future viability. The MYZEL Lifecycle Platform supports machine manufacturers and operators in mastering challenges relating to safety, security and legal compliance throughout the entire machine lifecycle.

Our modern Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution links machine and personal data, visualises relevant information and makes it usable in a targeted manner. This not only allows you to keep track of the compliance of your machines and minimise liability risks, but also opens up new potential for productivity, employee and data protection.

What the MYZEL Lifecycle Platform offers you:
- Structured document storage: Security, traceability, legal compliance and liability protection
- Digital workflows: Checklists ensure error-free documentation
- Transparency: Centralised overview of the status of all tasks throughout the machine lifecycle
- Liability risks are minimised: Full documentation of all necessary safety measures
- Increased safety: Employees are protected through the identification and elimination of hazards
- Greater efficiency: Automated processes, minimised downtimes and clear dashboards optimise productivity
- Time saving: Reduced administrative workload allows those responsible to concentrate on their core tasks
- Highest security standard: Data is stored in the EU and the platform is certified in accordance with ISO/IEC 27017 and ISO/IEC 27018
