In the Pilz system, cus\u00adtomers can choose between the safety locking devices PSENslock and PSEN\u00adm\u00adlock for example, which also form the core of the mod\u00adular safety gate system. PSENslock covers safe posi\u00adtion mon\u00adi\u00adtoring with process guard locking in a single system, while PSEN\u00adm\u00adlock pro\u00advides safe inter\u00adlocking and guard locking for per\u00adsonnel pro\u00adtec\u00adtion \u2013 enabling you to manage even the highest cat\u00ade\u00adgory. The name \u201cmod\u00adular\u201d is no coin\u00adci\u00addence: to ensure that the Pilz system can always be used to imple\u00adment the latest require\u00adments suc\u00adcess\u00adfully on future appli\u00adca\u00adtions, Pilz reg\u00adu\u00adlarly adds new \u201cmod\u00adules\u201d to its safety gate system. The latest addi\u00adtion involves the new types of PSEN\u00adm\u00adgate. A longer housing cre\u00adates space for more con\u00adtrol ele\u00adments, such as push\u00adbut\u00adtons and illu\u00admi\u00adnated but\u00adtons. The focus is there\u00adfore on appli\u00adca\u00adtions that require a wider range of oper\u00adating func\u00adtions on the safety gate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group mgznkr-elements mgznkr-box is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ease of operation!<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>push\u00adbutton unit PIT\u00adgatebox<\/strong> makes safety gate sen\u00adsors easy to operate and con\u00adtrol and is part of the safety gate system, rounding it off. It gives users a one-stop mod\u00adular safety gate solu\u00adtion, tai\u00adlored to their spe\u00adcific needs. <strong>The push\u00adbutton unit com\u00adbines push\u00adbutton, key switch and E\u2011STOP push\u00adbutton in one com\u00adpact con\u00adtrol unit<\/strong>.

That\u2019s because it can be tai\u00adlored to the require\u00adments of a wide variety of appli\u00adca\u00adtions. The Pilz system con\u00adtains the appro\u00adpriate con\u00adtrol units and an optional escape release, for example. Safety gate sys\u00adtems also score points when it comes to diag\u00adnos\u00adtics \u2013 pro\u00adlonged down\u00adtimes can be pre\u00advented quickly and eco\u00adnom\u00adi\u00adcally. In prin\u00adciple this is achieved via the series con\u00adnec\u00adtion avail\u00adable on sen\u00adsors such as the PSEN\u00adm\u00adlock or the com\u00adpact safety locking device PSEN\u00adm\u00adlock mini. Pro\u00adduc\u00adtivity gains are the result, thanks to smart diag\u00adnos\u00adtics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How does that work in the Pilz system? If you also use the diag\u00adnostic solu\u00adtion Safety Device Diag\u00adnos\u00adtics (SDD), it is pos\u00adsible to retrieve advanced diag\u00adnostic infor\u00adma\u00adtion. This means that device prop\u00ader\u00adties such as the item, product ver\u00adsion and serial number, as well as status infor\u00adma\u00adtion such as the status of the safety sen\u00adsors them\u00adselves, or the state of their inputs and out\u00adputs, are avail\u00adable quickly and are trans\u00adparent. SDD offers fur\u00adther advan\u00adtages with regard to safe series con\u00adnec\u00adtion: it enables tar\u00adgeted con\u00adtrol of indi\u00advidual sen\u00adsors. Or rather, pre\u00adcise diag\u00adnos\u00adtics for the gates: which ones may be unlocked and opened after shut\u00addown? This is highly rel\u00ade\u00advant in plants where main\u00adte\u00adnance work is pending, for example. The reverse sce\u00adnario would not be good: all safety gates con\u00adnected in series would open at once if the unlock func\u00adtion were requested \u2013 with all the poten\u00adtial risks that would entail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Industrial Security is another key for Safety<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mod\u00adular safety gate sys\u00adtems not only allow tailor-made solu\u00adtions \u2013 par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlarly when com\u00adpared with safety switches \u2013 but, with the appro\u00adpriate expan\u00adsions, also com\u00adbine Safety and Indus\u00adtrial Secu\u00adrity in a single system. This added secu\u00adrity is pos\u00adsible because access per\u00admis\u00adsion is con\u00adsid\u00adered at the same time. It pre\u00advents safety mea\u00adsures from being defeated to (sup\u00adpos\u00adedly) make the work easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large text-on-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/pilz-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/11\/Pilz-MTU-Muenchen-Zugangsberechtigung-1024x640.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-4170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pilz-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/11\/Pilz-MTU-Muenchen-Zugangsberechtigung-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pilz-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/11\/Pilz-MTU-Muenchen-Zugangsberechtigung-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pilz-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/11\/Pilz-MTU-Muenchen-Zugangsberechtigung-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pilz-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/11\/Pilz-MTU-Muenchen-Zugangsberechtigung-1536x960.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/pilz-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/11\/Pilz-MTU-Muenchen-Zugangsberechtigung-540x338.jpg 540w, https:\/\/pilz-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/11\/Pilz-MTU-Muenchen-Zugangsberechtigung-1080x675.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/pilz-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/11\/Pilz-MTU-Muenchen-Zugangsberechtigung.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In com\u00adplete safety gate sys\u00adtems such as those avail\u00adable from Pilz, mod\u00adules for access per\u00admis\u00adsion are inte\u00adgrated directly, i.e. safety gate mon\u00adi\u00adtoring and access con\u00adtrol are com\u00adbined.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:8px\">\u00a9&nbsp;Pilz GmbH &amp; Co.

For example, the mod\u00adular safety gate system is oper\u00adated via a secu\u00adrity-enabled push\u00adbutton unit: the push\u00adbutton unit PIT\u00adgatebox is avail\u00adable in var\u00adious pre-con\u00adfig\u00adured ver\u00adsions with com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtions of push\u00adbut\u00adtons, key switches and E\u2011STOP push\u00adbut\u00adtons. As an option, the reader unit for per\u00admis\u00adsion man\u00adage\u00adment can already be inte\u00adgrated into this con\u00adtrol unit. Indi\u00advidual per\u00admis\u00adsion is stored on a coded RFID key, which users can use to authen\u00adti\u00adcate them\u00adselves on the safety gate. In the Pilz system, the key is read in the reader unit PITreader; access is enabled if the appro\u00adpriate per\u00admis\u00adsion is present. This is a clear Secu\u00adrity ben\u00adefit, as it\u2019s pos\u00adsible to ensure that only autho\u00adrised per\u00adsons have access to the plant, based on the qual\u00adi\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion and func\u00adtion of the employees. This clearly shows that when the safety gate system pro\u00advides Secu\u00adrity along\u00adside Safety, it pro\u00adtects the machine from misuse or manip\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion, thereby pre\u00adventing unwanted down\u00adtimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/pilz-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/11\/Pilz-modulares-Sicherheitstuersystem-1024x640.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-4168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pilz-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/11\/Pilz-modulares-Sicherheitstuersystem-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pilz-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/11\/Pilz-modulares-Sicherheitstuersystem-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pilz-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/11\/Pilz-modulares-Sicherheitstuersystem-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pilz-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/11\/Pilz-modulares-Sicherheitstuersystem-1536x960.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/pilz-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/11\/Pilz-modulares-Sicherheitstuersystem-540x338.jpg 540w, https:\/\/pilz-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/11\/Pilz-modulares-Sicherheitstuersystem-1080x675.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/pilz-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/11\/Pilz-modulares-Sicherheitstuersystem.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pilz\u2019s mod\u00adular safety gate system offers a range of com\u00adpo\u00adnents that cover both Safety and Secu\u00adrity \u2013 from safety locking devices to acces\u00adsories such as han\u00addles. \u00a9&nbsp;Pilz GmbH &amp; Co.
