Pilz Safe Autmomation has announced has discontinued its range of PNOZ Classic safety relays.
Subsequently, Pilz is publishing an easy-to-use checklist to help companies migrate from PNOZ Classic safety relays to new slimline PNOZsigma models.
To help companies that have mine machines with PNOZ 1 and PNOZ V Classic relays installed, Pilz has already introduced new PNOZ 1 and PNOZ V relays in 90mm wide Pilz X range housings. The terminal positions, designations and the switching capacities are all identical to those of the original safety relays, making it very straightforward to exchange one for the other.
For customers using other models of PNOZ Classic relay, Pilz has published a document to help customers migrate to PNOZsigma relays. The first section is a straightforward checklist of PNOZclassic relays and their supply voltages to enable users to identify which PNOZsigma relays to use as replacements.
Pilz says if an additional PNOZsigma expansion module is required to deliver the same functionality as the Classic relay, the expansion module options are also identified.
