ABB Pluto USB Series Cable Kit for Use with Pluto Safety Controller

ABB Cable Kit For Use With Pluto Series, 2m Cable Length - 2TLA020070R5800 Pluto cable USB

Need an accessory to help you achieve reliable connections to your PLC system? Use this cable kit from ABB. Its CANbus cable helps you interconnect several safeguarding devices like emergency switches or machine guards, giving you a network for effective communication via the CANOpen protocol. The cable's CANbus connector makes it simple to link to a control device such as ABB's Pluto Gateway bridge (733-4830) for management of complex safety setups. This cable kit is designed for use with products in the Pluto series for ease of assembly.

• Generous cable length of 2m makes it easy to link devices over larger workspaces
• Standard USB-A termination at one end for a simple connection to your computer
• Compatible with ABB's IDFIX tags (733-4824) for quick identification of Pluto PLC cables in complex setups

Applications

• Agricultural equipment
• Automotive manufacturing
• Industrial safety protocols

How robust is this cable?

This product has moulded connectors with built-in strain relief to help minimise the risk of the cable being damaged if it's bent at sharp angles.

Pluto Safety PLC, Base Unit

Pluto from ABB is an "All-Master" safety PLC concept, which simplifies the design of safety systems and achieves the highest safety category 4 according to EN 954-1. All Pluto's are Master units and can see the other Pluto's inputs, outputs and global memories. This enables the Pluto to evaluate the information from the other Pluto's and then take decisions concerning its own safety devices. The Gateway units are available for several different bus systems, i.e. Profibus, CanOpen, Devicenet and Ethernet. Of Pluto's inputs (the smallest unit has 16 I/O), thus can be configured as either inputs or outputs. In the Pluto family by ABB most modules have dual safety outputs - potential free or PNP types. In a two-wire bus system up to 32 Pluto units can be safely connected and communicate with a superior system via a Gateway or HMI displays. Therefore within a maximum extended system 1472 I/O's can be connected. Also all input components may be connected in series for even more complexity and optimisation.

• Simple and easy programming facilities
• Easy to configure and install
• Up to 640 I/O's
• Multiple Plutos can be connected on a bus (via using the IDFIX identifier) and then further interfaced with external networks by using a Gateway
• High safety level
• Free software available
• Programming over the bus
• 35 mm DIN rail mounting
• The IDFIX (733-4824) is an identification circuit which allows multiple Plutos to be identified when connected on a bus system. This module is available to distribute a PLC program within a network of Pluto devices.
• Tina adapters such as (733-2477) can be used to connect external safety monitoring equipment

Notes

The IDFIX device (733-4824) is connected between the input terminals ID and 0V (also note that the IDFIX device is not required when using a single Pluto, however the absense of an IDFIX requires to be stated when programming the Pluto device.)
