Vanderlande Industries and Schiphol Airport made a joint decision to use Pilz PSS programmable control systems. The use of conventional relays was examined, however the different sectors and the respective shutdowns made it virtually impossible to implement the system using relay technology.
The PSS programmable control systems are connected via SafetyBUS p. This connection enables various areas to be shut down when different emergency stop buttons are operated or when different safety gates are opened.
The use of the Pilz PSS programmable control system allows Schiphol Airport and Vanderlande to connect to SCADA systems, provide precise fault analysis and perform complex safety options. The PSS programmable safety and control systems monitor safety functions such as E-STOP on extended conveyors. Integrated diagnostic functions enable faults to be located and rectified quickly. The low wiring costs and short commissioning times increase productivity and reduce costs.
With PSS programmable safety and control systems the conveyor system at Schiphol Airport meets the highest safety requirements in accordance with the international standards for machine safety EN 954-1, EN/IEC 62061 and prEN ISO 13849.
Vanderlande Industries designs, builds and services leading baggage handling systems for airports of all sizes. These belt, tub and/or track solutions combine operational effectiveness (low IR rates), short connection times and high conveyability. Based on proven technology, in-depth business knowledge and industry best-practices, they deliver the highest availability, reliability and lowest costs per bag.
