3.1 Intended use
The fieldbus module PNOZ m ES Powerlink is an expansion module of the configurable
control system PNOZmulti 2. It is used for communication between the configurable control
system PNOZmulti 2 and Ethernet POWERLINK. Ethernet POWERLINK is designed for
fast data exchange at field level. The expansion module PNOZ m ES Powerlink is a pass­
ive subscriber (Controlled Node) of the Ethernet POWERLINK. The basic communication
functions with Ethernet POWERLINK conform to the System Description published by the
POWERLINK User Group (EPSG). The central controller (Managing Node) reads input in­
formation from the slaves and writes output information to the slaves as part of each cycle.
As well as the cyclical transfer of usable data, the expansion module PNOZ m ES Power­
link can also be used for diagnostic and commissioning functions.
The expansion module may only be connected to a base unit from the configurable control
system PNOZmulti (please refer to the document "PNOZmulti System Expansion" for de­
tails of the base units that can be connected)
The configurable control system PNOZmulti is used for the safety­related interruption of
safety circuits and is designed for use in:
} E­STOP equipment
} Safety circuits in accordance with VDE 0113 Part 1 and EN 60204­1
The expansion module may not be used for safety­related functions.
