PILZ Safety Sensors FAQs
-
What is the difference between coded, fully coded and uniquely coded?
- Coded – receiver accepts any PSENcode actuator.
- Fully coded – receiver only accepts one actuator and can be retaught 8 times.
- Uniquely coded – receiver accepts only one actuator and can be retaught once.
-
What is the difference between a spring interlock and magnetic interlock?
Mechanical safety switches with spring interlocks are interlocked when there is no power applied to the coil. This is safe guard locking.
For mechanical safety switches with a magnetic interlock, the interlock is active when power is applied to the coil. This is process guard locking.
-
What does muting mean?
The muting function guarantees the safety function is automatically enabled over all or part of the height of the protected field, to enable specific, cyclical work operations to be carried out without having to stop the machine operation.
-
What is the maximum detection range minimum and maximum angle of PSEN radar?
5m, 10 and 110 degrees. The 5m can be split into 4 zones.
