Speed monitor

The new PNOZ s30 from Pilz Automation Technology is a compact speed monitor for monitoring safe standstill and speed in a range of machinery applications.

The PNOZ s30 can be connected to many motor feedback systems which use incremental encoders or proximity sensors to provide a speed signal. A rotary knob with key function (push and turn) and an integrated display enable users to enter their own specific data via a menu structure.

These parameters are stored on a chip card. The display informs users about the current speed during machine operation, while integrated LCDs show the state of the output relay.

The device can be used for the safe monitoring of maximum speed in combination with the safe detection of the direction of rotation.

The PNOZ s30 includes selectable inputs for incremental encoders and proximity sensors, separate programmable safety related relay output contacts auxiliary semiconductor outputs, and restart and safe off position feedback circuit inputs.
