Operating mode selection and access permission security system

Pilz has introduced the PITreader system for implementing tasks relating to access permissions for plant operations and machinery.

The options range from a simple enable and user authentication to a complex permission matrix and company-specific coding.

The system is flexible as a standalone device, or it can be used in conjunction with a Pilz controller. The transponder keys with RFID technology are available in freely writable versions and with fixed, stored permissions.

Software tools are available, the company says, for fast and simple programming of the PITreader keys and the PITreader settings.
