PSS67 PLC from Pilz, the first PLC control system with IP67 protection rating

PSS67 PLC: the world's first PLC control system for safety and standard applications with IP67 protection rating – automating outside the control cabinet

Pilz, a specialist in automation, is launching the first safety PLC control system, the PSS67 PLC, with protection rating IP67.

The PSS67 PLC can be mounted directly on a machine, outside the control cabinet. Users thus save space, reduce wiring work and gain more flexibility when implementing decentralized control system architectures.

Flexible, decentralized automation solutions are increasingly in demand for extensive, distributed installations and machine lines. This is why Pilz is expanding its range of solutions by offering a PLC control system: the Pilz PSS67 PLC is the first PLC control system with protection rating IP67 for safety and standard applications. Thanks to its fully encapsulated electronics, this control system is particularly mechanically robust: it is protected against dust and temporary immersion and can be used at temperatures from -30 °C to +60 °C.

Automation over short distances
The PSS67 PLC is designed for industrial automation outside control cabinets. This control system can be installed wherever it is useful. This significantly reduces wiring work compared with cabinet-based systems and increases flexibility when implementing modular installation architectures.

Safety and standard in a single system
As a PLC control system, the PSS67 PLC is suitable for applications up to the highest safety category, PL e.

The PSS67 PLC is part of the PSS 4000 automation system. It is fully compatible with the other control systems in the system and can easily be integrated into existing architectures. For programming, the proven engineering software PAS4000 is available, with programming languages according to IEC 61131-3, as well as the PASmulti editor. The PSS67 PLC has 16 digital safety inputs for direct connection of sensors and can be combined with the compact PSS67 I/O module from Pilz, which transmits signals from the field.

The entire device configuration can be saved on an integrated, protected micro SD card. This simplifies device replacement, as only the micro SD card needs to be moved. No new configuration is necessary.
