Why Choose the ABB 2TLA020070R3600 RSA 597 Absolute Encoder?
The ABB 2TLA020070R3600, designated RSA 597, is a robust single-turn absolute safety encoder designed for safe position and speed determination in industrial machinery. Identified by ABB reference 20-070-36 and classified within the Safety PLC product group, it is specifically designed for integration with ABB Pluto programmable safety controllers.
The RSA 597 provides a 13-bit absolute resolution with 8192 positions per revolution, enabling precise measurement of rotational position. It features a 10 mm solid shaft and a 12-pole connector, while communication with the safety control system is provided through the Pluto Safety Bus. When used with Pluto and the appropriate safety functions, the encoder supports safety applications up to PL e / SIL 3.
Designed for demanding machine environments, the encoder operates from a 9–36 V DC supply and has an IP67 enclosure protection rating, with IP66 protection at the shaft inlet. Its aluminium enclosure, broad operating-temperature range and resistance to vibration and shock make the RSA 597 suitable for industrial motion monitoring where dependable position information is essential.

Reliable Position and Speed Monitoring for Industrial Machinery
Absolute encoders provide a unique position value for each shaft position, allowing a control system to determine machine position without relying solely on incremental pulse counting. The ABB RSA 597 combines this principle with integration into the Pluto safety platform, allowing rotational position and speed information to be incorporated into safety-related machine control functions.
Programming is performed using ready-made function blocks within Pluto Manager. This provides machine builders and automation engineers with a structured method of implementing safe motion-related functions while the encoder's high resolution, rugged enclosure and industrial communication capabilities support dependable operation in demanding machinery.
Typical Applications
- Safe position monitoring of industrial machinery.
- Safe rotational speed determination.
- ABB Pluto Safety PLC installations.
- Automated production and assembly machinery.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Machine tools and automated motion systems.
