Safety expert PILZ has just announced that the PDP67 PN 8FDIO 4IOLS IO-Link Safety Master is now AVAILABLE!

What does that mean for you?

This now ready for production and available to order. This safety solution has been designed with an IP67/ IP69K module expanding PILZ’s decentralized I/O portfolio with a flexible, high-performance solution for both standard and fail-safe applications — even in the harshest industrial environments.

The PDP67 IO-Link Safety Master connects up to four IO-Link Safety or IO-Link devices (4× IOLS ports) and provides four configurable safe ports (4× 2FDIOs), which can be used as either safe inputs or safe outputs. PILZ new safety solution offers up to 8 fail-safe digital inputs and outputs, making it ideal for decentralized safety architectures and modular machine designs.

The IO-Link Safety Master PDP67 from Pilz is a versatile, all-purpose device designed to connect a wide variety of components. It supports IO-Link and IO-Link Safety, as well as safe and standard input/output (I/O) signals. By incorporating dedicated functional safety communication, it significantly extends the capabilities of a traditional IO-Link Master.

As a decentralised interface to the higher-level safety controller, the IO-Link Safety Master facilitates seamless point-to-point connections directly at the field level. Furthermore, the module features configurable ports, allowing for the flexible processing of both safe input and output signals.

Your benefits at glance:

  • Maximum flexibility due to suitable connection options for IO-Link, IO-Link Safety, safe input and output signals, standard signals, OSSD
  • Universally configurable, safe inputs/outputs
  • Decentralised installation of safety-related, digital field devices
  • Installation almost anywhere due to compact and robust housing
  • Can be used up to protection type IP67 / IP69K
  • Reduced wiring due to plug-and-play with standardised M12 plug-in connections
  • Simple configuration due to proven PILZ tools
  • Integrated web server for rapid fault diagnostics

Features of the IO-Link Safety Master PDP67:

  • 4x IO-Link Safety ports
  • 4x ports, each with two configurable safe digital inputs or outputs
  • Profinet / Profisafe Device
  • Interface: M12, 5-pin ports
  • Protection class: IP67/ IP69K
  • Housing: Die cast zinc metal
  • Ambient temperature: -30 °C to +70 °C
  • Functional safety: PLe / SIL3
  • Application in heights up to 5,000 m

And with the release of IO-Link Safety versions of PSENopt II light curtains and the PITgatebox control unit on the horizon, Pilz will soon be able to offer a complete IO-Link Safety system.
