2TLA020070R2000 ABB IDFIX-R Preprogrammed Identifier for Pluto Safety PLC

Why Choose the ABB IDFIX-R Preprogrammed Identifier?

The ABB IDFIX-R, order code 2TLA020070R2000 and type reference 20-070-20, is a preprogrammed read-only identifier designed for ABB Pluto programmable safety controllers. It provides a unique identification number that enables the connected Pluto controller to be assigned its correct identity and address within a Pluto Safety bus system.

Each IDFIX-R is supplied with its identification number fixed at delivery, eliminating the need for the user to program the identifier. The identification code can be read by the Pluto system and associated with the PLC program, helping ensure that each specific Pluto executes the correct part of the safety application.

The IDFIX-R is particularly important in networked Pluto installations. When several Pluto controllers are connected to the Pluto Safety bus, each controller requires an IDFIX identifier. This allows the system to distinguish between individual controllers and helps support straightforward controller replacement within a multi-Pluto safety system.

Key Advantages

• Preprogrammed unique identification number supplied ready for use.
• Designed specifically for ABB Pluto programmable safety controllers.
• Provides identification and addressing for controllers connected to the Pluto Safety bus.
• Read-only identifier with its ID number fixed at delivery.
• Required when multiple Pluto controllers are connected on the Pluto Safety bus.
• Helps ensure each Pluto executes the correct section of the PLC program.
• Supports straightforward replacement of a Pluto controller within a multi-controller installation.
• Compact ABB safety-controller accessory requiring no user programming of the identification number.

Reliable Identification for Pluto Safety PLC Networks

In a multi-controller Pluto safety system, each controller must have a defined identity so the network can associate it with the correct part of the safety PLC program. The ABB IDFIX-R provides this identification through a unique preprogrammed code, allowing the connected Pluto to be recognised correctly on the Pluto Safety bus.

Because the IDFIX-R identification number is fixed at delivery, no user configuration of the ID number is required. If a Pluto in a multi-Pluto project needs to be replaced, the IDFIX concept helps the replacement controller obtain the correct identity while the Pluto network supports transfer of the appropriate PLC program, simplifying maintenance of distributed safety-control systems.

Typical Applications

• ABB Pluto programmable safety controller installations.
• Multi-Pluto Safety bus networks.
• Machine safety control systems.
• Industrial automation safety applications.
• Distributed safety-controller installations.
• Pluto controller identification and addressing.
• Safety PLC maintenance and controller replacement applications.
• Industrial machinery requiring networked programmable safety control.
