Pluto Safety PLC: A Compact, Powerful & User-friendly Safety PLC

Pluto is a cost-effective, powerful and compact safety PLC for all machine safety applications. Most safety devices on the market can be connected directly to Pluto, and multiple safety sensors can be connected to a single input and still achieve the highest safety level. Programming is done easily in the accompanying software Pluto Manager.

Pluto is available in different models; simple models for smaller systems and models with bus communication for larger systems. Models with analogue inputs are available as well. 

Main Benefits

  • Easy programming and still powerful
  • Eliminates the need for extra module for speed monitoring
  • Up to 32 Pluto can exchange data without extra programming
  • Safe bus simplifies connection between cabinets in accordance with PL e/SIL3
  • Extensive communication possibilities with HMI and PLCs

Main Features

  • Most Machine Safety functions inclusive speed monitoring and analog input monitoring
  • Advanced programming possibilities
  • Ladder and TÜV approved function blocks
  • PL e/SIL 3
  • Supports StatusBus

Advantages

Speed-up Installation

  • Great Flexibility: Up to 32 Pluto units can exchange data on the same safety bus, and the unique All-Master system allows simple scaling, splitting and modification.
  • Powerful yet Compact: Unexpected features for its size, like real programming and speed monitoring, enables replacement of more complex PLC systems in some applications.
  • More Sensors and Less Cabling: The DYNlink solution allows series connection of up to 10 safety devices on each input. StatusBus and light button feature also reduces cabling to a minimum.

Optimum Interface

  • Programming Software Free of Charge: Pluto Manager is an easy-to-use PC based programming software provided free of charge.
  • Easy Programming: Ready-made TÜV approved function blocks for safety functions make it easy to reach PL e/SIL3. Ladder logic and text programming allow the design of more advanced functions and the control of complete machines.
  • Communication with External Networks: Pluto gateways provide a two-way communication between the Pluto safety bus and other field buses.

Continuous Operation

  • Easy Modification: Easy and quick replacement of units without any configuration.
  • Flexible Monitoring: Online monitoring from any Pluto in the system and remote monitoring and control with an Ethernet gateway.
