Convenient planning tool: The PSC1 Configurator Schmersal's PSC1 Configurator is an online tool that is available 7 x 24 hours. It enables the machine manufacturer and machine user to configure a safe sequence control system easily and quickly to suit for the individual requirements of their plants. The PSC1 Configurator is self-explanatory, easy to use, and generates a comprehensive planning structure for design engineers in just a few minutes. It is available as a web version or can be used conveniently with iPads via the iOS App. Based on a selection of safety sensors and outputs, the planning tool automatically combines the optimum (also pricewise) PSC1 Schmersal safety control system, and also indicates how much space is required by the respective configured module(s) on the top-hat rail. Simultaneously, the PSC1 Configurator generates a parts list with item description, material number, and equipment details. This parts list is linked to Schmersal's online catalog, so that additional information on the equipment can be called if necessary. The parts list can be saved as an Excel or PDF file, and sent to Schmersal directly via e-mail, who will then provide an offer specially tailored to the user's needs. In this way, the PSC1 Configurator ensures simple and fast order processing. Various field bus protocols available Thanks to its modular approach, the PSC1 sequence control system permits machine safety functions to be adapted the most varied applications. Core components of this sequence control system are freely programmable compact controllers (PSC1-C-10), whereby IO extension modules for safe signal processing of different safety switches are available. By means of a universal communications interface, the user can select different field bus protocols easily via software. Consequently, the same hardware can establish a communication link to all conventional field bus systems. The following field bus protocols are selectable in the PSC1 Configurator: PROFINET, PROFINET PROFIsafe, EtherCAT, EtherCAT FSOE, Profibus, Profibus ProfiSafe, and Ethernet IP. In addition, the universal communications interface of the PSC1 provides a serial diagnosis gateway for the connection of diagnostic signals from safety switching devices with integral SD interface. The SD gateway converts the serial diagnostic signal from the sensors and guard locks to suit the selected field bus protocol. Moreover, the user can install an optional SD memory card, with which the configured programs can be saved. For example, this eliminates the need for re-programming in case the hardware must be replaced. And finally, the PSC1 Configurator permits the safety system for an additional machine or a decentralized automation concept to be planned. By means of the "Topology" function, the configurator visualizes how the sequence control systems of both machines are connected. The PSC1 Configurator is available in the following languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, and Chinese.
