New I/O Module with Protection Type IP67 and PROFINET/PROFIsafe from PILZ

 

Flexible and modular automation solutions require I/O systems that enable personnel protection directly at the danger zone. The new PDP67 PN with PROFINET/ PROFIsafe interface is the ideal solution for safety outside the control cabinet. Thanks to its robust design with protection class IP67, it can be installed directly at the machine. This saves space in the control cabinet and enables modular plant designs.
