The Pilz PMCPROTEGO D.24/100/0/0/2/208-480VAC (8176564) is a servo amplifier from the trusted PMCprotego D series, designed to deliver both high-performance motor control and integrated safety in one robust solution. Built for modern industrial automation, it ensures that machinery operates efficiently, safely, and reliably across diverse applications.

Operating on a 3-phase mains supply of 208–480 V AC, this servo amplifier provides wide voltage compatibility that supports international deployment. This flexibility is essential for OEMs and machine builders who supply systems worldwide, reducing the need for region-specific variants and ensuring consistent performance across global installations.

The unit also features a dedicated 24 V auxiliary supply (U2), which provides additional reliability for control electronics and safety-relevant functions. Even if the main power supply is interrupted, the auxiliary voltage ensures continued monitoring and safe shutdown of critical circuits. This feature improves both operational security and system resilience, particularly in applications where machine safety cannot be compromised.

Like other models in the PMCprotego D family, this servo amplifier integrates a comprehensive set of certified safety functions. Standard features such as Safe Torque Off (STO), Safe Stop 1 (SS1), Safe Stop 2 (SS2), and Safely-Limited Speed (SLS) are embedded directly in the drive. These functions simplify safety circuit design, reduce wiring effort, and ensure compliance with EN ISO 13849 and IEC 61508 safety requirements. For operators and maintenance teams, this means dependable protection without sacrificing productivity.

In terms of performance, the PMCPROTEGO D.24/100/0/0/2/208-480VAC offers precise and dynamic motion control. It enables smooth acceleration, controlled deceleration, and accurate positioning, making it suitable for applications in robotics, packaging machinery, conveyor systems, and high-speed production lines. Its ability to handle high-power demands ensures it can manage both heavy-duty and high-speed operations with equal reliability.

The amplifier also benefits from modular integration within the Pilz PMC ecosystem. It works seamlessly with PMCprimo controllers, sensors, and other automation components, allowing engineers to design scalable and future-proof systems. This modularity not only reduces commissioning time but also provides investment protection, as systems can be expanded or adapted to new requirements with minimal redesign.

Ease of use is another focus of its design. With intuitive parameterisation software and built-in diagnostic tools, commissioning is simplified, and troubleshooting becomes faster. Clear feedback and monitoring capabilities support proactive maintenance, reducing downtime and maximising machine availability.

In summary, the Pilz PMCPROTEGO D.24/100/0/0/2/208-480VAC is a powerful servo amplifier that combines broad mains voltage compatibility, a dedicated 24 V auxiliary supply, integrated safety functions, and precise motor control. It is an ideal choice for industries requiring both productivity and operator protection, embodying Pilz’s philosophy of merging automation and safety in one dependable platform.
