In a world where production efficiency must go hand-in-hand with operator safety, MZERO offers the perfect balance of simplicity, performance, and compliance.

In today's industrial automation landscape, safety is not merely a regulatory requirement – it is a fundamental pillar for sustainable operations. Developed by ReeR, a global leader in industrial safety solutions, MZERO addresses the growing demand for a comprehensive, user-friendly, and cost-effective system, particularly in retrofit projects or upgrades of existing machinery.

MZERO is engineered for ease of installation, delivering substantial savings in time and resources. Thanks to its compact footprint, it minimises wiring needs and consolidates safety management into a single, powerful device – where typically a controller and multiple expansions would be necessary.

Key Features of MZERO

• 16 digital inputs for safety device management

• 4 inputs for EDM and restart functions

• 4 pairs of safety OSSD outputs (PNP 400 mA) up to SIL3 PLe with integrated protection

• 4 status outputs (PNP 100 mA) SIL1 for system monitoring

• 4 test outputs to check for short circuits on electromechanical devices

• 64 logic operators for customisable configuration, and

• Dedicated MZD software for fast and intuitive programming.

The advantages of MZERO

• Reduced number of components and wiring, one device means better wiring management, fewer power sources needed and no physical connections between main unit and its expansion.

• Quick and easy installation, ideal for upgrading existing systems

• Compatibility with a wide range of safety devices, including light curtains, emergency buttons and RFID switches

• Safety certifications up to SIL 3, SILCL 3, PL e, Category 4 to ensure maximum reliability

• Built-in simulation for safety logic control and verification

• Real-time monitoring with LED signaling and dedicated software

When Is MZERO the ideal choice?

MZERO is the perfect solution for applications requiring management of multiple safety devices within limited control cabinet space. It is particularly advantageous for installations needing up to 20 safety inputs, offering an efficient and economical alternative to more complex modular systems.

For systems requiring more than 20 inputs, ReeR provides scalable solutions combining master units with expansions – contact ReeR to determine the optimal configuration for your needs.

From Theory to Practice: An Italian book binding success story

A leading Italian company specialising in the production of industrial book binding machines recently selected MZERO controllers to enhance the safety management of their automated production lines.

Specifically, the MZERO system was implemented on their specific line—an automatic book collecting and stitching line composed of MX4 picker modules and up to three stitching units. The line can be configured with up to eight modules and operated by one or two users simultaneously.

Each module of the Multiplex picker is equipped with a MZERO controller that controls 4 RFID sensors attached to the movable guards plus an emergency button and communicates through the module's local PLC via a coded digital output of the MZERO itself.

By interconnecting the various MZERO units and safety devices, the company successfully reduced installation time, simplified wiring, and significantly improved overall safety compliance along the entire production line.

Configuration and use:

• Each module of the Multiplex harvester is equipped with a MZERO controller.

• The system can be configured up to 8 modules.

• For each module, 4 RFIDs are connected for guards and an emergency button.

Communication and diagnostics:

• Diagnostics between MZERO and the module's local PLC is via a coded digital output of the MZERO.

• This allows the safety status of the module to be monitored accurately and effectively.

Main function:

• The MZERO manages machinery safety by monitoring access to guards and activation of emergency buttons.

• It ensures compliance with safety regulations, reducing operational risks.
