Pluto AS-i is a safety PLC designed for the AS-i Safety concept where all the safety components are connected to a single cable. Pluto AS-i has the same characteristics as a standard Pluto and works in the same way with the only difference being the AS-i bus. As with a standard Pluto, Pluto AS-i is in an All-Master system with its own safety bus and is designed for dynamic and static safety circuits where inputs and other information are shared across the bus. Pluto AS-i also has a reduced number of failsafe inputs (I), Failsafe Relay and transistor outputs (Q) and terminals that are user-defined and serve as failsafe inputs or non-failsafe outputs (IQ).

For the AS-i bus, Pluto AS-i acts as a master, monitor, or I/O controller. As a master it controls and distributes all communication while it works as a monitor. In monitor mode, it listens to the bus and controls its safe outputs. As an I/O controller it serves as a slave node on the AS-i bus and communicates with another master or monitor.

The new AC500 ABB PLC consists of different devices that can be combined and flexibly expanded to suit the customer's individual requirements. It is also possible, for instance, to operate several field buses simultaneously in any desired combination with a single control system. Customers can choose between different CPU performance classes, which can even be easily replaced subsequently to meet increasing requirements. The common engineering tool ABB PLC AC500 Control Builder provides standardized programming of the entire platform according to IEC 61131-3, as well as further features and utilities.

Besides the high performance capabilities of the system regarding handling, reliability and ease of maintenance, also the long-term availability of the chosen system plays a decisive role: Your safe investment must be ensured in future. With the new ABB PLC AC500, ABB Low Voltage Controls offers a modern high-performance platform which is suitable for future-oriented automation concepts and open for new trends and market requirements. Flexibility in the choice of a field bus without needing to replace any field devices: That's the basic idea behind the field bus plug (FBP).

ABB offers a complete range of low-voltage devices from one source: PLC, devices for switching and protection, such as Soft Starters, Contactors, and MODUL Circuit-Breakers, up to standard Sensors. Many of these ABB components have already been integrated into the innovative system concept involved. Examples here include the UMC22-FBP Universal Motor Controller for effective motor protection and particularly user-friendly motor control, the interactive circuit breakers Tmax T4, T5, the PSS soft starter and the Wireless Proximity Switch. With the AC500 ABB PLC, the FBP product range has been extended by field-bus-neutral I/O modules and a CPU which can also be used as a field bus slave via the FBP.

With the integrated built-in I/O and communication couplers, ABB AC31 Advant Controller is a competitive solution in the minimum of space. The range is based on 2 main CPU types : Low end 40&50 series CPU's with 14 built in I/O, expandable locally with up to 6 I/O extensions or expandable through the fieldbus bus CS31 with remote I/O, 24VDC, 120VAC or 230VAC power supply, Powerful 90 series CPU's with up-to 40 built-in I/O expandable through the field bus CS31 with remote I/O, built in communication protocol like PROFIBUS DP master/slave, DeviceNet, Ethernet, ARCNET, 24VDC Power Supply.

A slot ABB PLC with CS31 fieldbus bus interface and ARCNET allows a fast response time between the embedded PLC program and the PC application through internal RAM. A Profibus DP or DeviceNet boards can be connected. ASCII, MODBUS master/slave, modem communication are integrated in all types of CPU's. All products are approved from the main register of shipping societies.

AC31 ABB Advant Controller provides an extensive selection of efficient hardware for both machine and system construction in the form of central units as well as digital and analogue I/O modules. ABB AC31 provides industries with appropriate solutions in power-related grades which are adapted to different focal points of the application and therefore allow for cost-effective use in all cases. An AC31 central unit can e. g. be operated as a standalone device as well as a master or slave. And regardless of whether an automation solution covers just a few I/O signals or requires a signal scope of several 100 or 1000 inputs/outputs, the ABB AC31 Advant Controller is always the right choice. Some of the AC31 central units also provide the opportunity of saving user programs or data on a plug-type Smart Media card and loading this in the automation device.

Communication-friendly, uniquely flexible, exceptionally future-compatible - a short, succinct description of ABB's new, innovative remote I/O system S500. By selecting the appropriate field-bus-plug (FBP), this field-bus-neutral system can be simply connected to the desired field bus. The compact-size bus module already contains 16 digital I/Os, and can be linked up to a maximum of seven expansion modules, enabling it to be upgraded to as many as 240 I/Os. Analog and digital modules can be mixed without any problems.

The FBP Bus Module possesses 16-I/Os in a width of only 67.5 mm. The compact construction, plus its overall depth of only 75 mm, means substantial space savings in the control cubicle. With its versatile flexibility, its extensive diagnostic capabilities and its simple expansion options, the S500 provides its users with a powerful, costefficient configuration, one that can be conveniently customised at need to the particular applications involved.

CL range logic relays are suitable for small and medium-sized control tasks and are able to substitute logic wiring in a quick and simple manner. They can be used for applications in control as well as for timing functions, e. g.

• In buildings, lighting systems, air-conditioning systems, general control functions
• In small machines and systems or as stand-alone control module for small applications.

The Control Builder AC500 is the engineering tool for all CPU performance classes of the AC500, designed for standardized IEC 61131-3 programming in five different languages. Other features of this tool are: Configuration of the overall system including field buses and interfaces, extensive diagnostic functions, alarm handling, integrated visualization and open software interfaces.

• Programming in conformity with IEC 61131-3
• Offline simulation
• Sampling trace
• Recipe management and watch lists
• Visualization

The Entrelec Logotron product family includes programmable electronic control and Logic Relays with built-in logic, timer, Counter, and switching functions. Used in place of Relays, timers, Contactor controls, and more, these modules increase design and programming efficiency for small and medium size control tasks. The AC or DC units include signal links plus a broad range of timing functions used in applications ranging from building automation to industrial control/switching.

Use Entrelec Fieldbus Modules with I/O modules to control remote I/O locations. Available to interface with popular bus systems such as PROFIBUS, INTERBUS, DeviceNet, CANopen, Modbus, and Schiele E/A-Bus. Change bus protocols by changing fieldbus modules without rewiring the I/Os.

These SCHIELE digital I/Os process binary signals and send them to the CPU or fieldbus modules. Digital I/Os convert signals from the CPU or fieldbus modules to control actuators. Analog input I/Os accept V, I, and thermocouple or RTD signals. Output modules supply standard V and I process signals. Thermal/RTD units have full selection of temperature ranges.
