Pilz Products in Pakistan / Industrial Guide
Pilz GmbH & Co. KG is a German family-owned company and one of the world’s leading specialists in industrial safety technology. Founded in 1948 and headquartered in Ostfildern, Germany, Pilz is the inventor of the safety relay — a category of product now essential in any machine that must meet functional safety standards.
As Pakistan’s manufacturing sector increasingly exports to international markets and adopts modern safety standards, Pilz products are becoming critically important in machinery and process plants. At HAT INDUSTRIES, we work extensively with Pilz products in Pakistan, working with genuine Pilz components for system integrators, machine builders, and plant operators across Pakistan.
What Pilz Products Do We Work With in Pakistan?
1. Pilz PNOZ Safety Relays
Pilz is the inventor of the PNOZ safety relay, and the PNOZ family remains the most widely recognized safety relay in the world. We work with:
PNOZ X Series (Classic) — The original Pilz safety relay. Hardwired, compact, and extremely reliable. Used worldwide and increasingly in Pakistan for emergency stop circuits, light curtain feedback, and two-hand control applications. Single-function, specific categories: PNOZ X1 (e-stop), PNOZ X2 (two-hand control), PNOZ X3 (safety mat), PNOZ X7 (e-stop + gate monitoring).
PNOZ s Series (PNOZsigma) — A modern, slim-profile safety relay with coil engagement on both the primary and redundant contacts. Snap-link modules allow building safety circuits without additional wiring between units. Suitable for more complex safety panel layouts in Pakistan’s modern machine builds.
PNOZ m Series (PNOZmulti2) — Configurable safety controller. Instead of multiple hardwired relays, the PNOZmulti2 replaces them with a single programmable safety controller configured using Pilz’s PNOZmulti Configurator software. Supports up to 16 safety functions including e-stop, safety door, light curtain, two-hand control, speed monitoring, and more. Safety-rated to PLe / SIL3. Ideal for Pakistan’s complex machine safety systems.
PNOZmulti 2 (M B0) Base Unit — The core of the PNOZmulti2 system. Accepts expansion modules for I/O, speed monitoring, and safe fieldbus integration (PROFIsafe, EtherNet/IP Safety).
2. Pilz PASvisu & PAScal Safety Software
Pilz provides software tools that are increasingly used by Pakistani engineers:
PNOZmulti Configurator — Free graphical configuration tool for setting up PNOZmulti2 safety controllers. Uses function block-based logic instead of traditional wiring diagrams. Generates a safety certificate report for documentation.
PAScal – Safety Calculator — Free risk assessment and safety level calculation tool. Helps Pakistani engineers calculate the PL (Performance Level) or SIL (Safety Integrity Level) of their machine safety functions per ISO 13849 and IEC 62061.
3. Pilz PASvisu Visualization and PASmobile
PASmobile — Mobile HMI application for Pilz PLC systems. Enables remote monitoring of safety system status via tablet or smartphone. Useful for Pakistan’s larger facilities where operators need to monitor multiple machines.
4. Pilz PSENscan Safety Laser Scanner
PSENscan — Safety laser scanner for area protection. Creates a 2D safety zone around a robot, AGV, or hazardous machine area without requiring physical guarding. Safety-rated to PLd / SIL2. As Pakistan’s manufacturing sector introduces cobots and AMRs, PSENscan is becoming increasingly relevant.
5. Pilz PSENgate Safety Gate Systems
PSENgate AC — Safety gate switch with integrated RFID coding. Monitors access to hazardous machine zones with coded actuation to prevent defeat. SIL3/PLe rated.
PSENcode — Coded safety switch for guard door monitoring. The coded magnet principle makes it defeat-resistant — critical for Pakistan’s factories where safety switch bypass is a concern.
PIT Reset Button — Manual reset buttons for safety circuits, required by ISO 13849 for manual reset after a safety function is activated.
6. Pilz Safety Switches — Magnetic, Non-Contact & Key-Operated
PSEN ma Series — Non-contact magnetic safety switches for guard door monitoring. Actuator and switch operate without mechanical contact — no wear, long life. Available with and without RFID coding.
PSEN b Series — Non-contact proximity safety switches with integrated evaluation electronics.
PIT s Series — Key-operated safety switches for lockout/tagout and access control to hazardous machinery zones.
7. Pilz PMC Servo Drives and Motion Control Systems
Pilz’s motion control range is less well-known but increasingly requested by Pakistani machine builders:
PMCprotego D — Servo drive with integrated functional safety (STO, SS1, SS2, SOS, SLS, SDI). The safety functions eliminate the need for external safety relays in the motion axis. Used in Pakistan for precision machine axes where safety-rated speed and position monitoring are required.
PMCprimo — Servo motors designed to match the PMCprotego D drive system. Available in compact frame sizes for panel-mounted servo applications.
PMCtendo AC4 — Multi-axis servo controller for coordinated motion control in automated machines.
8. Pilz PLC (PAScontrol & PSS 4000)
PSS 4000 — Pilz’s safety PLC system integrating safety and standard automation functions. Features SafetyBUS p network for distributed safety systems. Used in Pakistan for large machines or production lines where safety interlocking spans multiple stations.
PNOZlog — Safety-rated data logger for documenting safety event history — increasingly requested for audit compliance in Pakistan’s export-oriented manufacturers.
Why Machine Safety Matters for Pakistani Industry
Historically, machine safety standards in Pakistan have lagged behind international norms. However, several factors are driving adoption of Pilz and other safety products:
- Export markets (EU, North America) increasingly require machine safety certificates (CE marking, OSHA compliance) from their Pakistani suppliers.
- Insurance and liability requirements for multinational companies operating in Pakistan.
- Growing awareness among plant owners following industrial accidents.
- Government regulations on factory safety are gradually being enforced.
- ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 certified facilities in Pakistan are required to maintain documented safety systems.
Pilz’s PNOZ safety relays provide the simplest, most proven path to achieving e-stop safety circuits that meet ISO 13849-1 Category 3/PLd or Category 4/PLe, which are the most common safety requirements in Pakistani machine building.

A: HAT INDUSTRIES works with genuine Pilz PNOZ X series and PNOZsigma series safety relays and can arrange delivery anywhere in Pakistan.
Q: How do I select the right Pilz safety relay for my machine in Pakistan?
A: Selection depends on the type of safety function (e-stop, door monitoring, two-hand control), the required Performance Level (PLc, PLd, PLe), and the number of contacts needed. Our team can assist in selection. Pilz also offers the free PAScal safety calculator tool to determine the required PL for your application.
Q: Do Pilz products come with CE marking and safety certificates?
A: Yes. Genuine Pilz PNOZ and PNOZmulti products are CE-marked and carry appropriate type approvals (TÜV, UL, etc.). Documentation is available upon request.
Q: Can a Pilz PNOZmulti2 replace multiple PNOZ X relays?
A: Yes. The PNOZmulti2 is a configurable safety controller that can replace a panel full of individual PNOZ X relays with a single unit, configured via software. This simplifies wiring, reduces panel space, and provides better diagnostics for machine safety systems.
