New light beam devices PSENopt Advanced from Pilz

By Megan Hollis | November 6, 2014

With the new multifunctional PSENopt Advanced light beam devices, the complete supplier for safe automation, Pilz, is expanding its offer of light barriers for safe access to danger zones. With PSENopt Advanced either muting, blanking or even cascading can be carried out with just one light barrier depending on the requirements. Given this flexibility, PSENopt can be adapted to any application environment. The corresponding software PSENopt Configurator makes the commissioning and operation quick and easy.

With the new light beam devices PSENopt Advanced from Pilz either muting, blanking or even cascading can be carried out with just one light barrier depending on the requirements.
With their multifunctionality the light beam devices offer very high flexibility: Depending on the requirements, either muting, blanking or cascading can be implemented with a light barrier. PSENopt Advanced offer the highest safety up to PLe: The light guards work with continuous single beams that make the formation of so-called “dead zones” impossible. The light beam devices can thus move closer to the application. PSENopt Advanced cannot only be attached in a manner that saves space, but also offer increased protection.

At the same time, the single beams make it easier to align and monitor the light beam devices with the new software PSENopt Configurator. Furthermore, the PSENopt Configurator ensures rapid diagnosis as the interruption of the light beam device can be assigned immediately.

When using several PSENopt Advanced light beam devices at the same time, the visual coding prevents the light barriers from impairing one another. This in turn increases the flexibility in terms of installation.

In combination with the configurable control systems PNOZmulti the light beam devices offer the full function range and are thus a safe complete solution up to PL e for all industries and areas of application.
