FAQ

Question?
What is the main purpose of the PNOZ mc3p module in a PNOZmulti system?

Answer:
Its primary purpose is to act as a bridge, allowing the PNOZmulti safety controller to communicate as a slave device on a PROFIBUS DP network. This enables a master controller (like a Siemens or Rockwell PLC) to read status bits, diagnostic information, and virtual inputs/outputs from the safety system without requiring extensive hardwiring.

Question?
How do I set the PROFIBUS address on the PNOZ mc3p?

Answer:
The PROFIBUS address is set physically on the module using the two rotary switches located on the front panel. These switches allow you to set an address from 00 to 99. The setting must be unique on the PROFIBUS network and must match the configuration in the master PLC's hardware setup.

Question?
Is a specific GSD file required to integrate this module with a PROFIBUS master?

Answer:
Yes, a General Station Description (GSD) file is required. This file contains all the necessary information about the PNOZ mc3p for the PROFIBUS master's configuration software (e.g., TIA Portal, STEP 7). You can download the correct GSD file from the official Pilz website by searching for the product number 773732.
