Smart safety mat PSENmat – a combination of safety area monitoring and standard operating functions

PSENmat is a safety product from Pilz with a completely new concept. The intelligent safety mat is especially suitable for monitoring the safety area. As a pressure-sensitive protection device sensitive to contact or pressure, it meets the requirements of EN/ISO 13856-1 and can reach the safety level of PL d. When someone enters the hazardous area, the intelligent safety mat PSENmat can slow down or stop the plant equipment (i.e. access protection), and also provide rear intrusion protection to prevent the equipment from being accidentally activated.

When someone enters the hazardous area, the intelligent safety mat PSENmat can slow down or stop the plant equipment (i.e. access protection), and also provide rear intrusion protection to prevent the equipment from being accidentally activated. In addition to the traditional safety functions, PSENmat also integrates position detection (standard function), enabling innovative machine operating concepts: A carpet can be divided into 40 virtual switching areas, each of which can be identified and given It can output corresponding signals so that it can flexibly adapt to the operating state of the machine or the action flow of the worker.

Advantages of safety features

In the past, to use a safety mat solution, users had to use a specific combination of evaluation equipment, which was complicated to configure and wire. Now PSENmat can directly provide the OSSD safety signal to the controller, making it easier to use multiple carpets in series, and the overall response speed can reach within 25ms. Not only that, the OSSD signal makes it possible to use it in series with other safety sensors, such as PSENcode safety switches or PSENmlock safety door systems, etc., making fault diagnosis more convenient.

  Standard function innovation

The intelligent safety carpet PSENmat can provide dual functions for the work area, not only to slow down or stop the equipment according to the actual functional safety requirements, but also the operator can realize the operation function by pedaling the pre-defined and marked carpet area, and issue corresponding instructions to the equipment , completely free your hands. As a result, unnecessary operator stations on site can be removed, reducing blind spots and other risks. (figure 2)

  Overall solution

PSENmat can be easily connected to the safety system PNOZmulti or the automation system PSS4000. Through the SDD mat gateway, the switching status of 40 units is sent to the main controller or easily displayed on site through the visualization software PASvisu. Smart safety mats have a wide range of applications: they are mainly used in layouts with obstructing objects that are difficult to monitor, or in scenarios with low visibility due to dust. Also suitable for the protection of work areas shared by humans and robots.

  Application scenarios:

●In case of poor visibility (eg a lot of dust or smoke)
●The application of blocking and obstacles
●The work of freeing hands (eg quality inspection)
With Pilz’s many years of experience in the sensor field, combined with control drive technology and visualization technology, our complete product system can provide you with a safe and economical one-stop solution.

  Debut at CIIF – Human-machine collaboration with integrated smart carpets

Pilz’s upcoming PSENmat smart safety carpet will also be previewed for the first time in the upcoming Shanghai Industry Fair.
The PSENmat intelligent safety carpet will detonate the interactive hotspot of the robot exhibition area. In the induction area with an area of ​​1000mm x 600mm, the audience can stand on the intelligent safety carpet with both feet, and realize the remote control of the robot through the preset direction and control keys. Grab a small Mid-Autumn Festival gift.

Our PSENmat smart safety mats meet the requirements of EN ISO 13856-1 for pressure-sensitive protective equipment. When a person steps on the PSENmat smart safety mat, the sensors reliably detect their position and forward the position data to the safety controller.

In practical applications, safety controllers slow down or stop equipment or machines, providing effective protection for hazardous points and areas.
