The Pilz PSS SB BUSCABLE LC (part no. 311074) is a specialised bus cable developed to provide reliable data transmission within Pilz automation and safety systems. Designed to meet the high demands of industrial environments, it ensures stable connectivity, excellent resistance to interference, and long-lasting durability, making it a key component for modern safety and control applications.

At the core of its design is a twisted pair, shielded cable (TP-(ST)-C-PUR-H) construction. This design minimises the impact of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring that safety-critical data signals are transmitted cleanly and without disruption. The typical characteristic impedance of 100–120 Ohm aligns with industry requirements for bus communication, providing consistent performance across various network topologies.

The PSS SB BUSCABLE LC offers excellent electrical performance, with a typical conductor resistance of 86.1 Ohm/km and an insulation resistance of 200 MΩ x km. These specifications ensure efficient signal transmission over longer distances while maintaining signal integrity. Such performance characteristics are crucial for safety-related networks, where communication failures can compromise both productivity and personnel safety.

Durability is another defining feature of this cable. The PUR (polyurethane) jacket provides excellent resistance to mechanical stress, abrasion, and industrial oils, making it suitable for demanding production environments. Its operating temperature range of -20 °C to +80 °C ensures reliable use in a variety of climates and machine settings, from standard indoor facilities to harsher manufacturing floors.

The cable is specifically optimised for use with Pilz safety controllers and automation systems, ensuring seamless integration with devices such as the PSS control systems, PNOZmulti modular safety controllers, and distributed I/O systems. By enabling consistent communication between these components, the cable supports the smooth operation of complex automation networks while safeguarding the integrity of safety functions.

Thanks to its robust shielding and high insulation properties, the PSS SB BUSCABLE LC not only provides reliable performance under normal operating conditions but also delivers long service life, reducing maintenance requirements and system downtime. This makes it a cost-effective solution for plant operators looking to achieve maximum uptime and system reliability.

In summary, the Pilz PSS SB BUSCABLE LC is a durable, high-performance communication cable engineered for the specific demands of industrial safety and automation. With its optimised shielding, wide temperature range, and compliance with stringent electrical performance standards, it ensures reliable, interference-free communication and supports the dependable operation of safety-critical Pilz systems.
