Why Choose the ABB 2TLA020071R8100 GATE-C2 Pluto Gateway?
The ABB 2TLA020071R8100, designated GATE-C2, is a dedicated Pluto Gateway for CANopen designed to provide two-way communication between the ABB Pluto Safety Bus and CANopen networks. Identified by ABB reference 20-071-81 and classified within the Safety PLC product group, it enables Pluto safety controllers to exchange information with supervisory PLCs and other compatible CANopen control systems.
The GATE-C2 incorporates electrically isolated Pluto Safety Bus CAN and CANopen CAN interfaces. Pluto Safety Bus communication supports automatic speed detection from 100 to 1000 kbit/s, while the CANopen interface supports multiple configurable communication rates from 10 to 1000 kbit/s. CANopen addressing can be configured using DIP switches or software, providing flexibility during commissioning and system integration.
Operating from a nominal 24 V DC supply, the GATE-C2 has a slim 22.5 mm module width and mounts on standard 35 mm DIN rail. Included terminal connections are provided for the Pluto Safety Bus, CANopen network and power supply, while front-panel LED indications provide convenient monitoring of Pluto Safety Bus and CANopen communication status.

Reliable CANopen Integration for Pluto Safety Systems
The ABB GATE-C2 enables information to pass between an ABB Pluto network and a CANopen supervisory control system, allowing Pluto controllers to operate as part of a broader machine-automation architecture. Through CANopen, compatible supervisory systems can access Pluto I/O and other variables, while non-safety-related information can also be transmitted from the supervisory system to the Pluto network.
The gateway shares the established Pluto system interface and can be serviced and configured using ABB Pluto Manager where required. In addition to its gateway function, the GATE-C2 can also be used as an extension of the Pluto Safety Bus cable, providing additional flexibility when designing larger distributed Pluto installations.
Typical Applications
- Connecting ABB Pluto Safety PLC networks to CANopen systems.
- Machine-safety and supervisory PLC integration.
- Industrial automation network interfacing.
- Production and assembly machinery.
- Material handling and automated manufacturing systems.
- Extension of Pluto Safety Bus network installations.
