FAQ

What is the primary function of the Pilz PST 4 standstill monitor?

The PST 4 is a safety device used to monitor the standstill of electric motors. It ensures that a motor has completely stopped rotating before allowing access to hazardous areas, preventing accidents caused by unexpected movement.

Can this PST 4 (ID 720300) be directly replaced by a modern Pilz PNOZ relay?

While the modern equivalent is the PNOZ s50, a direct one-to-one replacement is not always possible. The wiring, configuration, and safety certification of the machine must be re-evaluated to ensure it meets current standards with the new device.

How does the PST 4 detect motor standstill?

The PST 4 monitors the remanence voltage (back EMF) generated by the motor’s windings as it slows down. Once this voltage drops below a set threshold, the relay confirms that the motor is at a standstill and enables its safety outputs.
