The Pilz PNOZ MSI19P ADAPTER ELAU PACDRIVE3 1.5 M (773846) is a specialised adapter cable designed to provide seamless connectivity between Pilz PNOZmulti Classic safety systems and Elau PacDrive3 controllers. This adapter plays a critical role in integrating safety functionality into automation environments, ensuring smooth communication between control and protection systems.

At the heart of its design is the 10-pin RJ45 female connector, which offers reliable electrical connections in a straight configuration. RJ45 technology is widely recognised for its secure data transmission, and in this adapter, it is tailored specifically for safety communication between PNOZmulti Classic modules and PacDrive3 platforms. The precision of this connector ensures stable interfacing, reducing the likelihood of signal loss or connection errors, which are critical considerations in safety applications.

The adapter is engineered with IP20 housing protection, making it suitable for use in control cabinet environments where physical protection against large solid objects is required but exposure to liquids is not anticipated. This aligns with its role as a cabinet-installed connectivity solution rather than a field cable exposed to harsh outdoor or industrial conditions.

With an operating temperature range of 0 °C to +60 °C, the adapter is optimised for use in standard industrial and automation environments. While it is not designed for extreme climates or high-humidity areas (as condensation is not permitted), it delivers consistent reliability in typical plant settings where stable ambient conditions are maintained.

The 1.5-metre length strikes an ideal balance between flexibility and manageability, offering sufficient reach for practical cabinet and system layouts while avoiding unnecessary cable clutter. This allows for neat routing within panels, contributing to organised installations and simplified maintenance.

Functionally, the PNOZ MSI19P adapter enhances the interoperability of safety and automation systems. By linking Pilz’s trusted safety relay technology with Elau’s PacDrive3 control systems, it enables manufacturers to implement robust safety architectures without compromising productivity. This makes it particularly valuable in industries such as packaging, robotics, food and beverage, and general automation, where safety compliance and high throughput must work hand in hand.

In terms of user benefits, the adapter offers:

Assured compatibility with PNOZmulti Classic and PacDrive3 systems.

Ease of installation, thanks to its RJ45 connector and practical cable length.

Reliable communication between safety and control platforms.

Compliance with safety standards, ensuring secure system integration.

In summary, the Pilz PNOZ MSI19P ADAPTER ELAU PACDRIVE3 1.5 M (773846) is a purpose-built connectivity solution that bridges safety and automation. With its robust design, precise connector technology, and compatibility with industry-standard systems, it enables reliable, efficient, and compliant safety integration for modern automated environments.
