ABB Jokab Safety presents the new Pluto D45 Safety PLC

With Analog inputs and High Speed Counters

ABB Jokab Safety presents the new Pluto D45 Safety PLC
Inspired by industry
 
ABB JOKAB SAFETY has expanded the range of Pluto Safety PLC modules! The new unit, Pluto D45, is a 90mm wide module with 8 safe analog inputs 4 of which can also be high speed counter inputs. The I/O configuration is the same as for the Pluto B46, but with the added feature that 8 of the inputs can be used as either ordinary safe inputs or as safe analog inputs 0-10V or 4-20mA and 4 for counter inputs up to 14kHz.
 
The high speed counter feature allows Pluto to be used in applications where a “zero speed”, “over speed” or “safe speed” monitor is required for the Category 4/ SIL3 PLe protection of personal around hazardous machinery. The analog inputs allow Pluto to be used in application where proximity sensors, temperature sensors, pressure and flow sensor monitoring is required for the Category 4/SIL3 PLe protection of personal around hazardous machinery. For applications to reach SIL 3 PLe two sensors in parallel, with one analog/counter input and one function block each, must be used.
 
The key difference between Pluto Safety PLCs and conventional Safety PLCs is that while conventional controllers use a “supervisor-subordinate” methodology, the Pluto Safety PLC uses an “all-supervisor” concept. Since all Pluto’s are “supervisor” units, they can see each others’ inputs and outputs.
 
Unparalleled value
  • Flexible and modular units allow you to do much more with less
  • Reduces wiring and panel space
  • Pluto Manager software included with purchase and technical support available
  • Simple and powerful programming interface and instruction set standard
  • Easily applied to any industry
  • Offers extremely fast response time – less than 55ms
  • Eliminates the need for additional zero speed controllers for machines with inertia.
