The Pilz CHIPCARD 1 PIECE 32KB (779211) is an essential accessory for the PNOZmulti Classic configurable control system, serving as a secure and reliable medium for storing and transferring safety configurations. With its compact design and robust performance, the chip card is a practical solution for simplifying system setup, maintenance, and reconfiguration in safety-critical industrial applications.

At its core, the CHIPCARD provides 32 KB of storage capacity, sufficient to hold the complete safety configuration created in the Pilz PNOZmulti Configurator software. This allows engineers to program complex safety functions such as emergency stop monitoring, safety gate supervision, or two-hand controls, and then store the logic directly on the chip card for use in a base unit. Once inserted into a PNOZmulti Classic controller, the configuration is immediately recognised and executed, ensuring seamless deployment.

One of the main advantages of the CHIPCARD is its portability and interchangeability. If a base unit needs to be replaced due to failure or system upgrade, the chip card can simply be removed from the old device and inserted into the new one. This eliminates the need for reprogramming or manual reconfiguration, significantly reducing downtime and simplifying maintenance processes. It also provides a convenient way to duplicate configurations across multiple machines, ensuring consistency and standardisation across production lines.

The device is designed with practicality and ease of use in mind. Weighing only 4 g net (6 g gross), the card is extremely lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry, store, and handle in day-to-day operations. Despite its small size, it plays a critical role in ensuring that safety-related data is securely stored and readily accessible whenever needed.

By providing secure configuration storage, the CHIPCARD enhances system reliability and supports compliance with international safety standards. Engineers can be confident that safety logic will not be lost or corrupted, and operators benefit from simplified maintenance and reduced operational risk.

The CHIPCARD is part of Pilz’s broader commitment to modularity and user-friendly design within the PNOZmulti system. Its role as a removable memory medium enables maximum flexibility, allowing safety controllers to be quickly adapted to changing production requirements or reused in new installations.

In summary, the Pilz CHIPCARD 32KB (779211) is a small yet indispensable component of the PNOZmulti Classic system. With its ability to store complete safety configurations, enable fast system replacement, and ensure reliable data retention, it delivers both efficiency and security in safety-critical automation environments. Compact, portable, and dependable, it is an ideal solution for maintaining the integrity and flexibility of modern safety systems.
