TÜV confirms future-proofing for machine manufacturers
Jun 17, 2026
Small controller PNOZmulti 2 now MR compliant
The safe small controller PNOZmulti 2 from Pilz already fulfils the requirements of the upcoming EU Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230. An EU type examination certificate in accordance with Article 25, issued by TÜV, confirms compliance.
This means that machine manufacturers will benefit early on – even before the regulation comes into force on 20 January 2027.
Your benefits at a glance:
- Early planning certainty for new projects
- TÜV-confirmed MR compliance
- Tested safety solution reduces the engineering workload
- Faster CE marking of entire machines
- Fewer adjustments to future requirements
- Legally compliant market launch in the EU
Fully prepared for the new requirements
The Machinery Regulation replaces the existing directive and places higher demands on safety and risk evaluation. In future, safety components such as small controllers must be evaluated independently.
This is where PNOZmulti 2 comes in: the certified solution helps manufacturers develop MR compliant machinery now and minimises regulatory risks.
A more efficient approach to a safe machine concept
Confirmed compliance significantly reduces the engineering workload and the approval process. Manufacturers benefit from:
- Simplified integration of a tested solution
- Reduced documentation workload
- Greater legal certainty
- Faster market access
More safety for human and machine
The small controller performs central safety functions such as:
- E-STOP
- safe monitoring
- Selective shutdown in the case of danger
This allows risks to be recognised and controlled at an early stage.
Future-proof solution
With PNOZmulti 2, companies have a solution that is already prepared for future regulatory requirements. This means that new machine projects can be implemented early, efficiently and safely.
Complete safety solutions
For a consistent safety concept, the small controller PNOZmulti 2 is ideal for combining with other safe automation technology from Pilz. Flexible, complete solutions for a widest range of machine applications are the result when used in conjunction with safe sensor technology PSEN and the control and signal devices PIT.
The safe sensors PSEN reliably detect safety gates, positions or hazardous movements and supply the relevant signals directly to the small controller PNOZmulti 2. Using control and signal devices PIT, operating, signalling and diagnostic functions can easily be integrated into the machine concept.
Thus machine manufacturers benefit from a coordinated solution comprising controller, sensor technology and operation – meaning less work on the interfaces, simplified project configuration and a one-stop, holistically safe machine concept.
