ABB pluto a20 v2 abb safety controller

Why Choose the ABB Pluto A20 v2 Safety Controller?

The ABB Pluto A20 v2 (2TLA020070R4500) is a compact and powerful programmable safety controller (Safety PLC) designed for machine safety applications and the control of safety-related devices. As part of the ABB Pluto safety PLC range, it combines configurable safety I/O, failsafe outputs and Pluto safety bus communication in a compact controller for industrial machinery and automation systems.

The Pluto A20 v2 provides a total of 20 I/O, comprising 8 failsafe inputs, 8 configurable non-failsafe outputs/failsafe inputs, 2 individually failsafe relay outputs and 2 individually failsafe transistor outputs. It also provides current monitoring on outputs Q16 and Q17, enabling flexible implementation of machine safety functions.

Operating from a 24 V DC supply, the Pluto A20 v2 supports connection of a wide range of safety devices and can be programmed using ABB Pluto Manager software. Its compact 84 × 45 × 120 mm enclosure and Pluto safety bus capability make it particularly suitable for distributed and networked safety control within industrial machinery.
