As an automation expert, Pilz has many years of experience in the field of industrial automation. This has helped them to understand the unique requirements of wind turbines, and we provide solutions that are tailored specifically to the industry.
Pilz Solutions monitors all the relevant safety functions on wind turbines, helping to prevent accidents and injuries. Pilz also helps to ensure that your turbines are running efficiently and effectively, so you can maximize your energy production.
Safe, efficient automation of wind turbines
Wind turbines operate in harsh and unpredictable conditions, so it's essential to invest in safety solutions that keep them running efficiently and protect maintenance personnel.
International standards and directives, such as the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) and IEC 61400, require wind turbines to meet high safety standards. By investing in safety solutions that monitor critical functions and prevent overload, wind turbine operators can reduce downtime and maximize energy production. Invest in safe automation for your wind turbines and reap the rewards.
Implement scalable, safe automation solutions for new and existing wind turbines, regardless of size or location.
Comply with all normative requirements during production, installation, and operation.
Achieve maximum standardization in the automation of onshore and offshore turbines, reducing costs and simplifying maintenance.
Reduce the risk of accidents during operation, maintenance, and installation work, protecting your personnel and assets.
With Pilz, you can create a custom safety concept tailored to your specific wind turbine needs.Safe automation for wind turbines: Standard-compliant speed monitoring
Pilz solutions provide clear benefits, particularly where standard-compliant speed monitoring is concerned. There are various options to choose from when implementing standard-compliant speed monitoring on wind turbines. Pilz control systems can be scaled for various encoder combinations, achieving safety levels up to PL d and PL e.
