The Pilz PNOZ MSI S15 (part no. 773871) is an expansion module developed for use with the PNOZmulti Classic modular safety system, providing additional connectivity and flexibility for building reliable and standards-compliant machine safety architectures. Engineered with Pilz’s hallmark quality and precision, this module is a vital accessory for industries seeking adaptable and scalable safety solutions.

The PNOZmulti Classic platform is widely recognised as one of the most versatile safety systems on the market, allowing users to monitor multiple safety devices such as emergency stops, guard doors, light curtains, and two-hand controls within a single configurable framework. By adding the MSI S15 expansion module, users can extend their system’s input and output capabilities or improve communication pathways, enabling more complex safety logic to be realised with minimal hardware overhead.

A distinctive feature of the PNOZ MSI S15 is its dual 15-pin D-Sub connectors, comprising one male and one female connector. This design provides flexible interfacing options, ensuring reliable data transmission between safety system components while simplifying wiring and installation. The use of standard D-Sub connections also guarantees robust mechanical stability and secure electrical contact, reducing the likelihood of loose connections or signal degradation over time.

The module is designed to operate in an ambient temperature range of 0 – 60 °C, making it suitable for a wide array of industrial environments. Whether installed in factory automation, packaging lines, or assembly systems, it maintains consistent performance within standard operating conditions. While condensation is not permitted, the unit’s design is well-suited to clean, controlled electrical enclosures where it can function reliably for many years.

With its IP40-rated housing, the MSI S15 is intended for installation inside control cabinets or other protected environments. This level of protection ensures that internal electronic components are safeguarded from contact with solid foreign objects, supporting long-term system reliability without adding unnecessary bulk or weight.

As part of the PNOZmulti Classic family, the MSI S15 benefits from seamless integration into Pilz’s broader ecosystem of safety solutions. When combined with a PNOZmulti base unit and additional expansion modules, it helps create a flexible, scalable safety system that complies with international safety standards such as ISO 13849 and IEC 62061. This modular approach allows companies to adapt their safety infrastructure as operational needs evolve, without replacing the entire system.

In summary, the Pilz PNOZ MSI S15 expansion module offers reliable connectivity, robust D-Sub interfacing, and compatibility with the powerful PNOZmulti Classic platform. With its durable design, environmental resilience, and seamless integration, it provides an essential solution for extending and optimising industrial safety systems in a wide range of applications.
