Why Choose the ABB ABB pluto function block for eccentric press 2TLA020070R4100?

The ABB ABB pluto function block for eccentric press 2TLA020070R4100 is a specialised software function-block package for ABB Pluto programmable safety controllers. Also known as the Pluto Pressblock, it provides predefined functionality developed for the safety control of mechanical and eccentric presses.

The software package contains function blocks for important press-control tasks, including control of the press stroke and monitoring of cam switches. Using purpose-developed Pluto function blocks can simplify the implementation of press-related control logic compared with creating every function from basic program elements, while allowing the application to be integrated into the wider Pluto safety-control architecture.

ABB specifies the Pluto Pressblock as suitable for all Pluto models. As a software accessory rather than a physical controller, it is intended to complement the Pluto Safety PLC platform and Pluto Manager programming environment when designing safety-related control systems for mechanical presses.

Reliable Function Blocks for Mechanical Press Control

Mechanical and eccentric presses require carefully coordinated control logic to manage machine movement and monitor signals associated with the press cycle. The ABB Pluto Pressblock provides purpose-developed software functions for these applications, including control of the press stroke and monitoring of cam switches within a Pluto-based control system.

Because the Pressblock is designed for the ABB Pluto platform, machine builders and automation engineers can incorporate its press-specific functions alongside other programmed machine-control and safety functions. The completed application must be engineered, programmed, commissioned and validated according to the requirements of the particular press and applicable machinery-safety standards.

Typical Applications

  • Eccentric press control systems.
  • Mechanical press machinery.
  • Press-stroke control applications.
  • Cam-switch monitoring on industrial presses.
  • Pluto-based press automation and safety systems.
  • Machine upgrades and control-system modernisation using ABB Pluto controllers.
