The B46 v2 Pluto is a cost-effective, powerful and compact programmable safety controller used in a variety of applications, including in large and small systems for process and functional safety. Pluto can control most types of safety device on the market, as well as ABB Jokab Safety DYNlink safety devices, analog sensors, encoders, contactors and valves. Programming is easy with the complimentary Pluto Manager software. The models with safety bus communication simplify the design of safety systems, thanks to our "All-Master" concept. A wide range of gateways allows communication with other networks and also remote monitoring of the Pluto system. Pluto is available in different versions, stand-alone variants and models with bus communication. There are also models that are suitable for AS-i. Variants with safe analog and fast counter inputs are also available. Pluto gateways provide two-way communication between the Pluto safety bus, i.e. all the Pluto units connected to it, and other field buses. Several models are available for the most common field buses. Ready-made function blocks in Pluto Manager facilitate communication: a gateway can be located anywhere on the Pluto safety bus. Rotary absolute encoders can be used for safe position determination. Examples of applications are gantry robots, industrial robots, and also eccentric shaft presses, where the encoders can replace existing cam mechanisms.
