Pilz is excited to unveil the latest version of the PITgatebox pushbutton unit, now featuring the integrated PITreader card unit for streamlined access management. With the use of RFID transponder cards, users can easily authenticate directly on the PITgatebox, ensuring straightforward operation of safety gate systems while enhancing flexibility for access control.
This comprehensive solution for safety gate systems significantly boosts both Safety and Industrial Security in machine operations.
The PITreader card unit empowers operators to manage access permissions with ease and efficiency at the safety gate. Each RFID access card stores vital information about individual permissions, ensuring that only authorized personnel can execute critical commands like activating, stopping, or resetting the machine. This added layer of security effectively safeguards the facility from misuse or tampering and minimizes machine downtime.
One Unified Card for Multiple Applications
The PITreader card comes in both a writable version and a preconfigured option, providing versatility for various needs. Additionally, companies can utilize their existing RFID-enabled cards that comply with ISO/IEC 14443-A and ISO/IEC 15693 standards.
The system also supports other Pilz transponders, such as the PITreader key and sticker, allowing for a mix of permissions across different machines, which is both intuitive and time-efficient for users.
Versatile Placement on the Safety Gate
Designed with a compact form factor, the robust PITgatebox can be easily integrated into standard profile systems. Its adjustable mounting bracket allows for versatile positioning on the safety gate. Thanks to the M12, 12-pin connector, installation is quick and hassle-free, requiring no complex wiring. With the PITgatebox, operators gain a modular, all-in-one safety gate solution that enhances Safety and Security, especially when paired with Pilz safety locking devices like the PSENmlock and PSENslock.
