Pluto Safety PLC
Pluto Safety PLC is available in many different styles to allow you to create a tailored solution to what you need. Take advantage of ABB DYNlink devices with the Pluto to decrease the number of inputs needed to be used as well as easily reach the highest level of safety PLe/SIL3.
Features and benefits
Speed up installation
- A, B, & D models are Safety Bus capable, up to 32 Pluto's on a network, D models with analog safe inputs (0-10VDC, 4-20mA)
- S models are stand-alone without Safety Bus network connectivity for smaller projects
- Unexpected features for its size, like real programming and speed monitoring, enables replacement of more complex PLC systems in some applications
- Use less IO with DYNlink devices allowing series connection of up to 10 devices to a single input
Continuous operation
- Online monitoring from any Pluto in the system and remote monitoring and control with an Ethernet gateway.
- Easily exchange Pluto programmable safety controller in the field without the use of a computer both in networked and stand-alone systems (ID PROG tag needed)
Optimum interface
- No charge for Pluto Manager Programming Software
- Gateways for many protocols (DeviceNET, Ethernet, EtherCAT, ProfiNET, ProfiBus, Modbus TCP, etc.) provide a two-way communication between the Pluto safety bus and other field buses
- Able to use DYNlink capable devices as well as traditional dual channel devices
- StatusBus functionality
Safety and protection
- TUV approved safety function blocks
- Able to achieve highest level of safety PL e/SIL 3
Application
Used to control multiple stop conditions. The Pluto Safety PLC can be used to monitor standard safety devices (ex. Light Curtains, Gate Switches, Emergency Stops) as well as ABB DYNlink devices (Eden DYN, Smile Tina etc.). It can control a single machine or multiple machines working together via safety bus communication between the Pluto PLCs.
