Pluto Safety PLC facilitates the design of your safety systems. Pluto is an All-Master system for dynamic and static safety circuits where inputs and other information are shared over the bus. Multiple safety sensors can be connected to a single input and still achieve the highest level of safety. Pluto has inputs suited for every safety product on the market, and each input function is configured in the accompanying software Pluto Manager.

Besides failsafe inputs (I) Pluto has a number of Failsafe Relay & Transistor Outputs (Q). On every Pluto unit there is also a possibility of using a number of terminals as failsafe inputs, non-failsafe outputs or both in and output simultaneously (IQ). The characteristics of the terminals are easily configured in Pluto Manager.

Pluto gateway is a unit providing two-way communication between a Pluto safety PLC and other field buses. To simplify the integration of a Pluto gateway PROFIBUS into the supervisory PLC system, ABB Jokab Safety provides ready-made function blocks for several popular brands of PLC. The function blocks make it easier to receive and send information to the Pluto system. The function blocks are supplied as open units with full access for the customer to change and add functions.

• Two-way communication
• Built-in filter function, shared network
• Only 22.5 mm wide
• Can be located anywhere in the databus
• Common interface with Pluto
• Ready-made function blocks

The Pluto gateway is a compact unit mounted on a DIN rail, and can be connected anywhere in a Pluto safety bus. The unit has a common interface with Pluto, i.e. the same cabling, and the Pluto Manager PC program can be used for servicing and where necessary programming. Normally, however, all the settings are made via a DIP switches, which means that programming tools are not required to put the gateway itself into operation.

A GATE-D2 can also be used to advantage as a CAN bridge when it is required to divide a Pluto safety bus into several sections. This is particularly useful when long databus cables are needed. PLUTO GATE-D2 has support for integration into an ABB Robotics IRC5-system.

For programming Pluto there are ready-made function blocks which, via a Pluto gateway, send and receive data from the supervisory system. Via CANopen a supervisory PLC system can have access to the I/O and other variables in a Pluto safety PLC. Global I/Os in a Pluto safety PLC are accessible via CANopen PDO messages. Local data in Pluto units can be read via CANopen SDO messages together with the PLC codes in the supervisory system.

Via CANopen a supervisory PLC system can send nonsafety-related information to a Pluto safety PLC. A total of 64 Boolean values and 8 different 16-bit registers can be transmitted (CANopen PDO or SDO messages). Function blocks for these commands are available in Pluto Manager. A GATE-C2 can also be used to advantage as a CAN bridge when it is required to divide a Pluto safety bus into several sections. This is particularly useful when long databus cables are needed.

PLUTO Gateway GATE-E2 handles the status from and to Pluto safety PLCs via Ethernet protocols EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP and a simple binary protocol that uses TCP/IP. For IP-address configuration, etc. there is a simple web server and a terminal server. Via one of the Ethernet protocols a supervisory PLC system can have access to the I/O and other variables in a Pluto safety PLC. Global I/Os in a Pluto safety PLC are accessible via the usual I/O transfer in the respective protocol. Local data in Pluto units can be read by special commands together with the PLC codes in the supervisory system.

Via the Ethernet protocol a supervisory PLC system can transmit non-safety-related information to a Pluto safety PLC. A total of 64 Boolean values and 8 different 16-bit registers can be transmitted. Function blocks for these functions are available in Pluto Manager.

Together with a Pluto safety PLC, this rotational absolute encoder can be used for safe position determination. This is particularly useful in the case of such equipment as gantry robots, industrial robots, etc. Also in eccentric shaft presses, existing cam mechanisms can be replaced by absolute value position sensors for safe positioning. The sensors are available in single and multi-turn versions.

Up to 16 absolute encoders can be connected to a Pluto CAN databus. A Pluto on the databus reads the sensor values, which are evaluated. With a special function block in the PLC code, it is possible to design two-channel solutions with the sensors. The user can obtain safe values for position and speed from these values. This enables supervision of stationary and overspeed conditions.
