Why Choose the ABB IDFIX-RW Programmable Identifier?
The ABB IDFIX-RW, order code 2TLA020070R2100 and type reference 20-070-21, is a programmable read/write identifier designed for ABB Pluto programmable safety controllers. It assigns an address to the Pluto controller to which it is connected, allowing individual controllers to be correctly identified within a Pluto Safety bus system.
Unlike the fixed-number IDFIX-R, the IDFIX-RW provides a programmable identification number, allowing the user to choose the required identifier. The identification code is read by the Pluto system and declared within the PLC program so that each specific Pluto executes the correct part of the safety application.
The IDFIX-RW is particularly important in networked Pluto installations. Each Pluto connected to the Pluto Safety bus requires an IDFIX, and the IDFIX-RW provides the flexibility of a user-selectable address. Its read/write capability also supports efficient controller replacement by helping a replacement Pluto obtain the correct identity within a multi-controller safety system.
Key Advantages
- Programmable identification number allows the user to choose the required Pluto address.
- Read/write identifier designed specifically for ABB Pluto programmable safety controllers.
- Assigns an address to the connected Pluto on the Pluto Safety bus.
- Required for each Pluto connected within a multi-Pluto Safety bus project.
- Helps ensure each controller executes the correct section of the PLC safety program.
- Supports straightforward replacement of Pluto controllers within networked installations.
- Suitable for configurable machine-safety and industrial automation systems.
- Compact Pluto accessory measuring approximately 200 × 12 × 7 mm.
Key Features
- ABB IDFIX-RW programmable identifier.
- Read/write identification.
- User-selectable programmable identification number.
- Designed for ABB Pluto Safety PLCs.
- Assigns an identity/address to the connected Pluto controller.
- Designed for use with the Pluto Safety bus.
- Identification code can be read by the Pluto system.
- Suitable for multi-Pluto safety-control installations.
- Supports correct controller identification during Pluto replacement.
- Compact and lightweight safety-controller accessory.
Programmable Identification for Pluto Safety PLC Networks
In a multi-controller Pluto safety system, every controller needs a defined identity so the network can associate it with the correct part of the safety PLC program. The ABB IDFIX-RW provides this identification through a user-programmable read/write code, allowing the required address to be selected for the connected Pluto controller.
The IDFIX-RW is mandatory when the associated Pluto operates as part of a multi-Pluto Safety bus project, while its use is optional for a Pluto operating alone. If a controller in a multi-Pluto system needs replacement, the IDFIX helps ensure the new Pluto receives the correct bus address and can obtain the appropriate PLC program from another Pluto on the network.
Typical Applications
- ABB Pluto programmable safety controller installations.
- Multi-Pluto Safety bus networks.
- Machine safety control systems.
- Industrial automation safety applications.
- Distributed programmable safety-control systems.
- Pluto controller identification and addressing.
- Safety PLC maintenance and controller replacement.
- Applications requiring a user-selectable Pluto identification number.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ABB IDFIX-RW 2TLA020070R2100?
The ABB IDFIX-RW is a programmable read/write identifier for ABB Pluto programmable safety controllers, used to assign an address to the Pluto to which it is connected.
Can the identification number of the IDFIX-RW be programmed?
Yes. The IDFIX-RW has a user-programmable identification number, allowing the required Pluto identifier to be selected rather than using a number fixed at manufacture.
What is the difference between ABB IDFIX-RW and IDFIX-R?
The IDFIX-RW is read/write and programmable, allowing the user to choose the identification number. The IDFIX-R is read-only and is supplied with a fixed identification number.
Is an IDFIX-RW required on a multi-Pluto Safety bus?
An IDFIX identifier is required for each Pluto connected to the Pluto Safety bus in a multi-Pluto project. The IDFIX-RW is suitable where a programmable identification number is required.
Can the ABB IDFIX-RW assist when replacing a Pluto controller?
Yes. In a multi-Pluto project, the IDFIX helps ensure that a replacement Pluto receives the correct address on the bus, supporting restoration of the controller's correct role within the safety system.
Trusted Machine Safety Control from ABB
ABB Pluto safety-controller accessories support structured and maintainable machine-safety systems, with the IDFIX-RW providing programmable read/write identification for reliable controller addressing within Pluto Safety bus installations.
