Extended field of vision and FSoE connection
With the safe radar system PSENradar from Pilz, the safe area monitoring in harsh environments can now be implemented for further applications: Thanks to extended field of view functions, the radar sensors can be integrated more easily in different production environments.
The flexibility provided by adaptable fields of view offers advantages in confined spaces. In addition, connection to the open safety protocol Safety over EtherCAT FSoE is now possible: cabling effort and costs are reduced. In addition to the already available radar sensor with a detection range of 0 to 5 m, the safe radar sensor PSEN rd1.2 sensor F-FOV LR with a range of 0 to 9 m is now also available. This enables efficient protection of mobile applications. A new feature of both sensor devices is the ability to flexibly configure fields of view: In addition to the symmetrical viewing angle, asymmetrical as well as corridor-shaped viewing angles can now be set. This means that PSENradar can be used in different production environments. Together with the configurable small controller PNOZmulti 2, PSENradar offers a safe, complete solution for protected area monitoring - including data transmission with FSoE in the EtherCAT communication system. The new evaluation unit of the PSENradar radar system enables FSoE functionality in accordance with IEC 61508 for safety applications up to SIL 3.
