In industrial production, safety is always the focus of enterprises. Safety protection products can effectively reduce the probability of accidents in the workplace, reduce the risk of injury, and improve the job satisfaction and work efficiency of personnel. However, for some harsh industrial environments, not all safety protection products can be applied. With the development of technology, safety protection products are also constantly upgrading, today I would like to introduce to you a safety protection product that can still work stably in harsh environments - PSENradar safety radar system.
Challenges in harsh environments
In the production process, external disturbances such as dust, smoke, rain or debris often cause traditional optical sensors to fail or give false alarms, and these environmental factors put forward higher requirements for safety protection equipment. Pilz's safety radar system, PSENradar, uses FM continuous radar wave detection technology, which is not only harmless to the human body, but also resistant to interference from environmental factors such as strong light, dust, debris, etc., to ensure stable operation in harsh environments.
Hard-working and highly sensitive
Pilz's safety radar system, PSENradar, has a very high sensitivity and can detect even the slightest rise and fall of the chest when breathing, which can better protect people entering dangerous areas. PL d or SIL 2 protection for applications according to ISO 13849-1 and IEC 62061.
A radar system consisting of an analysis unit and up to 6 sensors automatically switches between the two safety functions of ingress prevention and restart protection, and when a person enters the radar protection area, the system immediately shuts off the output to prevent harm to personnel caused by the restart of the device. The PSENradar system is highly resistant to dust, dirt, rain, light, sparks, steam, etc., and is insensitive to ambient light such as daylight or infrared, allowing it to operate reliably even under very harsh environmental conditions.
In addition to symmetrical viewing angles, PSENradar can also configure asymmetrical viewing angles and corridor-type viewing angles. As a result, users have more flexibility to integrate radar sensors into their production environments. Especially in confined environments where the machines are in close proximity to each other, users benefit from high productivity.
The analysis unit of PSENradar supports the configuration of up to 32 zone sets, providing a wide range of options for integrated applications. The integrated SD card function makes configurations easy to save and replace without the need for an additional configurator. The analysis unit also offers a wide range of interface options, such as USB, Ethernet, ProfiSafe and EtherCAT FSoE, providing a suitable solution for a wide range of fieldbus systems and making it easy to integrate radar systems into existing applications. With the safe small controller PNOZmulti 2 with FSoE master, the user can easily implement the safety networking associated with the safety radar system in the EtherCAT communication system as a one-cable solution and reduce the wiring effort to a minimum.
With its high sensitivity, high endurance and flexibility, the safety radar system PSENradar offers a strong guarantee for industrial safety in harsh environments. With the continuous development of industrial automation and intelligence, PSENradar will be used more widely.
