The Pilz PIT ES SET6U-5NR (400455) is a robust control and signal device designed specifically for emergency stop (E-STOP) functions within industrial environments. As part of Pilz’s extensive safety product range, this device embodies the company’s commitment to delivering high-quality solutions that enhance both machine safety and operator protection.

A key strength of the PIT ES SET6U-5NR lies in its precision contact technology. Built with AgNi (silver-nickel) contacts that are gold-plated, the device ensures reliable conductivity and long-term resistance to oxidation and corrosion. This makes it highly suitable for environments where stable and accurate signal transmission is critical for safe machine operation. The gold plating also enhances performance in low-voltage or low-current circuits, ensuring dependable switching under all conditions.

The device supports a minimum contact current of 1 mA, making it capable of handling low-power safety signals with precision. This is particularly important for modern automation systems, where safety relays and controllers often require accurate low-current switching to maintain functional integrity and avoid false triggering.

In line with global safety requirements, the PIT ES SET6U-5NR is certified to EN 60947-5-1, the international standard governing emergency stop devices. This ensures compliance with machine safety regulations and provides assurance that the device can reliably perform its critical role in protecting operators from hazardous situations.

Environmental adaptability is another important feature of this unit. Designed to function in ambient temperatures ranging from -25 °C to +55 °C, the device can be used in a variety of industrial conditions, from refrigerated areas to warmer production lines. It is also rated for pollution degree 2, meaning it can withstand moderate industrial pollution such as dust or occasional condensation, making it suitable for standard factory environments.

The PIT ES SET6U-5NR is typically used in applications where emergency stop functionality is essential, including packaging machines, production lines, robotics, and process automation systems. Its compact and durable design ensures reliable performance even under frequent operation, while its compliance with international safety standards guarantees a high level of protection for both personnel and machinery.

As part of Pilz’s PITcontrol series, the device can be integrated seamlessly with other safety components to form comprehensive machine safeguarding solutions. This modular approach allows engineers to configure safety architectures that are both efficient and tailored to specific application requirements.

In summary, the Pilz PIT ES SET6U-5NR (400455) is a high-quality E-STOP control device that combines gold-plated AgNi contacts, low-current capability, EN 60947-5-1 compliance, and environmental resilience. It provides a dependable and standards-compliant solution for machine safety, ensuring effective operator protection in industrial environments.
