The PNOZsigma safety relay series from Pilz is designed to provide safety-related monitoring functions in various industrial applications. One of its key features is its flexibility in terms of adjustable operating modes and times, allowing users to customize the relay’s behavior to suit specific safety requirements.
The PNOZsigma relays typically offer a range of monitoring functions such as emergency stop, safety gates, light curtains, two-hand control, etc. Users can select the appropriate monitoring function based on the safety application. http://www.pilz.com
The relays usually provide different reset options such as manual or automatic reset. Manual reset requires the operator to manually reset the safety system after a safety event, while automatic reset resets the system automatically once the safety zone is clear.

Users can adjust the response times of the relay to meet the specific requirements of their application. This includes parameters such as start-up time, monitoring time, and reset time. For example, in applications where a machine needs a certain amount of time to reach a safe state after a stop signal is detected, users can adjust the monitoring time accordingly.
Some models of the PNOZsigma relays allow users to adjust the sensitivity of the safety monitoring function. This can be useful in applications where the safety system needs to accommodate variations in operating conditions or environmental factors. http://www.pilz.com
Depending on the model, the adjustable operating modes and times can be configured either via software using a PC interface or through DIP switches located on the relay itself. This provides flexibility in how users set up and adjust the safety parameters.
