Pilz PNOZmulti Configurable Safety Controllers

Pilz / PNOZmulti

Base units, expansion modules and communication gateways. Plus the module pairs where one is safety rated and the other is not.

PNOZmulti is the Pilz configurable safety controller range. Instead of wiring individual safety relays, you configure safety logic in software and download it to a base unit.

There are three generations in service: the original PNOZmulti, PNOZmulti Mini, and the current PNOZmulti 2.

Read this before ordering an I/O module

The most important thing on this page. Some PNOZmulti modules are safety rated and some are not, and the model numbers look similar.

Module	Rating
PNOZ mi1p	8 safe inputs
PNOZ mi2p	8 inputs for standard applications, not safety rated
PNOZ mo1p	4 safe semiconductor outputs
PNOZ mc1p	16 semiconductor outputs for standard applications

A PNOZ mi2p in place of a PNOZ mi1p physically fits, powers up and reads inputs. It is not part of the safety function. The machine will run and the safety rating will be gone.

When you send us a module number, we will flag which category it falls in. If you are replacing a failed module, check the original rather than matching on function.

PNOZmulti 2 base units

Order number	Model	Specification
772100	PNOZ m B0	Expandable base unit. 20 safe digital inputs, 4 safe semiconductor outputs on revision 3.x. Mini-USB, cross-wire monitoring, backlit display
772101	PNOZ m B1	PL e and Category 4 to ISO 13849-1. USB plus 2 x Ethernet 10/100 with switch, cross-wire monitoring, backlit display
	PNOZ m B0.1	Standalone or expandable by one I/O module. Successor to PNOZmulti Mini
	PNOZ m C0	Standalone, not expandable. 8 inputs, 4 safe semiconductor outputs
	PNOZ m B1 Burner	Burner application variant

Note the revision on the PNOZ m B0. Pilz describes 772100 revision 3.x as having 20 safe digital inputs and extended functions, where earlier descriptions give 12 safe inputs, 4 safe outputs and 8 configurable safe I/O. If you are buying used, the revision matters.

The PNOZ m B0.1 takes exactly one I/O module

Pilz is explicit: the B0.1 can be standalone, or expanded with a maximum of one I/O module. Your options are:

Module	Configuration
PNOZ m EF 2DOR	Relay outputs
PNOZ m EF 16DI	16 digital inputs
PNOZ m EF 8DI4DO	8 inputs, 4 outputs
PNOZ m EF 8DI2DOT	8 inputs, 2 outputs
PNOZ m EF 4DI4DOR	4 inputs, 4 relay outputs
PNOZ m EF 4DI4DORD	4 inputs, 4 relay outputs, delayed

One, not several. If your application needs more I/O than one module gives, you need a different base unit, not more modules.

PNOZmulti 2 expansion modules

I/O modules, the EF range

Model	Configuration
PNOZ m EF 16DI	16 digital inputs
PNOZ m EF 8DI4DO	8 inputs, 4 outputs
PNOZ m EF 8DI2DOT	8 inputs, 2 outputs
PNOZ m EF 4DI4DOR	4 inputs, 4 relay outputs
PNOZ m EF 4DI4DORD	4 inputs, 4 relay outputs, delayed
PNOZ m EF 2DOR	2 relay outputs
PNOZ m EF 4AI	4 analog inputs
PNOZ m EF 1MM	1 motion monitoring channel
PNOZ m EF 2MM	2 motion monitoring channels
PNOZ m EF 1MM2DO	1 motion monitoring channel, 2 outputs
PNOZ m ES 14DO	14 digital outputs
PNOZ m ES 16DI	16 digital inputs

Communication gateways, the ES range

Model	Network
PNOZ m ES ETH	Ethernet
PNOZ m ES EtherNet/IP	EtherNet/IP
PNOZ m ES Profinet	PROFINET
PNOZ m ES Profibus	PROFIBUS
PNOZ m ES EtherCAT	EtherCAT
PNOZ m ES CANopen	CANopen
PNOZ m ES CC-Link	CC-Link
PNOZ m ES RS232	Serial
PNOZ m ES Powerlink	POWERLINK

Link and safe network modules

Model	Function
PNOZ m EF Multi Link	Link between PNOZmulti units
PNOZ m EF PDP Link	Link to decentralised PDP modules
PNOZ m EF SafetyNET	SafetyNET p
PNOZ m EF EtherCAT FSoE	Safety over EtherCAT

Original PNOZmulti

Base units

Model	Notes
PNOZ m0p	Base unit, not expandable
PNOZ m1p	Base unit, expandable
PNOZ m2p	Base unit, expandable
PNOZ m3p	Base unit, expandable

The m0p does not take expansion modules. If you have an m0p and need more I/O, that is a base unit change.

Input and output modules

Model	Configuration	Safety rated
PNOZ mi1p	8 inputs	Yes
PNOZ mi2p	8 inputs	No, standard applications
PNOZ mo1p	4 semiconductor outputs	Yes
PNOZ mo2p	2 relay outputs	Yes
PNOZ mo3p	2 two-pole semiconductor outputs	Yes
PNOZ mo4p	4 relay outputs	Yes
PNOZ mo5p	4 diverse relay outputs	Yes
PNOZ mc1p	16 semiconductor outputs	No, standard applications

Communication modules

Model
PNOZ mc2p, mc4p, mc6p, mc6.1p, mc10p

Link modules and decentralised I/O

Model	Function
PNOZ ml1p	Connects two base units
PNOZ ml2p	Connects a base unit to up to four decentralised PDP67 modules
PDP67 F 8DI ION	IP67 decentralised module, 8 safe inputs
PDP67 F 8DI ION HP	IP67 decentralised module, 8 safe inputs

The PDP67 modules are IP67 rated for on-machine mounting rather than in a cabinet. Useful where running every safety input back to a panel is impractical.

PNOZmulti Mini

Model	Type
PNOZ mm0p, mm0.1p, mm0.2p, mm0p-T	Base units
PNOZ mmc1p, mmc2p, mmc3p, mmc4p	Expansion modules
PNOZ mmc6p, mmc7p CC, mmc11p, mmc12p	Expansion modules
PNOZ mml1p, mml2p	Link modules

PNOZmulti Mini is superseded by the PNOZ m B0.1, which Pilz describes as a compatible successor. If you are planning a replacement rather than a like-for-like spare, that is the path.

Note also that the PNOZsigma dual relay expansion module connects to the PNOZ mm0.1p and PNOZ mm0.2p as well as the PNOZ s30. See the PNOZsigma page.

The configuration is the hard part, not the hardware

A PNOZmulti base unit is configured with PNOZmulti Configurator software and the configuration is downloaded to the unit.

A replacement base unit arrives blank. Without the original configuration file the machine will not run, and recreating a safety configuration from scratch is a safety engineering exercise rather than a maintenance task.

If you run PNOZmulti anywhere, the question worth asking today is whether you have the configuration files backed up and whether anyone knows where they are. That is free to check and expensive to discover during a breakdown.

Important: safety replacements

Safety components are certified as part of a machine's safety function, with a rated Category or Performance Level.

A like-for-like replacement of the same model preserves that assessment. A substitution may not. Substituting a standard-rated module for a safety-rated one, or a different base unit revision, can change the achieved Performance Level even where the machine appears to run normally.

We will supply the exact model you specify. If you ask us to suggest an alternative we will tell you what we think is equivalent and what differs, but the decision on whether a substitution is valid for your safety function belongs to whoever is responsible for the machine's safety assessment. We are a parts supplier, not your safety engineer.

What we can supply

Current production. PNOZmulti 2 base units, EF and ES expansion and gateway modules. Quoted with a delivered lead time.

Mature and discontinued. Original PNOZmulti base units and modules, PNOZmulti Mini, PDP67 decentralised I/O. Surplus and tested used.

The original PNOZmulti generation is where we are most useful. Those machines are still running and the modules are no longer easy to buy.

We buy PNOZmulti

Base units and modules both hold value. If you are decommissioning, do not scrap them. See Sell To Us.

Send us your model numbers

Include the base unit revision if you know it. Tell us whether a module is doing safety duty or standard duty, because the two ranges look alike and are not interchangeable. Quotes in NZD including GST.
