The Pilz PSEN CS3.1P 1 SWITCH – 541060 is a compact and efficient safety switch designed to provide reliable position monitoring and machine safeguarding. As part of the Pilz PSEN range, this switch combines robust safety performance with low power consumption, making it a versatile solution for protecting operators and equipment across a wide range of industrial applications.

Operating with a 24 V DC supply, the PSEN CS3.1P is optimised for direct integration into modern control and automation systems. Its low 1 W power consumption ensures energy efficiency while supporting continuous operation, an essential requirement in large production environments with multiple safety devices installed.

The unit features two safety inputs, enabling dual-channel monitoring for enhanced fault detection and system redundancy. This ensures that wiring errors, short circuits, or contact failures can be reliably identified, increasing the overall safety integrity of the system. By monitoring protective devices such as safety gates, doors, or covers, the switch provides a dependable safeguard against unauthorised access to hazardous machine zones.

For output functionality, the PSEN CS3.1P delivers two OSSD (Output Signal Switching Device) outputs, providing fail-safe switching of safety signals to the control system. OSSD outputs are designed to automatically detect and react to faults, ensuring machinery transitions into a safe state in the event of a malfunction. In addition, the unit includes one signalling output, which provides diagnostic feedback and operational status information. This simplifies maintenance and supports faster troubleshooting, reducing machine downtime and increasing overall productivity.

The PSEN CS3.1P’s robust design ensures reliable performance even in demanding environments. Its compact housing makes it suitable for installations where space is limited, while its rugged construction supports long service life and resistance to frequent actuation. Typical application areas include packaging machinery, material handling systems, robotic cells, and automated production lines, where reliable guard monitoring and operator safety are mandatory.

As part of the wider Pilz PSEN safety portfolio, the CS3.1P integrates seamlessly with other Pilz components, enabling flexible system configuration and ensuring compliance with international machine safety standards. This makes it an excellent choice for companies seeking to enhance safety, efficiency, and compliance in their automation processes.

In summary, the Pilz PSEN CS3.1P 1 SWITCH – 541060 delivers dependable safety monitoring through dual inputs, energy-efficient performance, and fail-safe OSSD outputs, complemented by diagnostic signalling. It is a compact, reliable, and standards-compliant solution for safeguarding machinery and protecting personnel in modern industrial environments.
