ABB pluto b22 abb safety controller

Why Choose the ABB ABB pluto b22 abb safety controller 2TLA020070R4800?

The ABB ABB pluto b22 abb safety controller 2TLA020070R4800 is a compact and powerful programmable safety controller (Safety PLC) designed for machine-safety applications. Part of the ABB Pluto range, the Pluto B22 combines programmable safety logic, extensive failsafe input capacity and Pluto safety bus communication in a space-saving 45 mm-wide module.

The Pluto B22 provides 22 total I/O, comprising 14 dedicated failsafe inputs and 8 configurable non-failsafe outputs/failsafe inputs. All eight configurable channels can therefore be used as additional failsafe inputs when required, providing a maximum of 22 failsafe inputs. The B22 has no onboard failsafe outputs, making it particularly useful as an input-focused controller within a distributed Pluto safety-bus system.

Operating from a 24 V DC supply, the Pluto B22 supports the Pluto safety bus, MODBUS ASCII and StatusBus and is programmed using ABB Pluto Manager software. Its distributed safety architecture allows multiple Pluto units to exchange safety-related information, providing machine builders with a flexible platform for implementing complex safety functions across industrial machinery and automated systems.

Key Advantages

• Compact programmable Safety PLC with 22 total I/O.
• 14 dedicated failsafe inputs for direct connection of machine-safety devices.

Reliable Distributed Safety Control for Industrial Machinery

The ABB Pluto platform provides a programmable approach to machine safety in which emergency stops, guard switches, non-contact sensors, light curtains and other compatible safety devices can be incorporated into a coordinated safety-control system. Pluto controllers can exchange safety-related information through the Pluto safety bus, reducing the need for extensive conventional interlocking wiring between different sections of a machine.

The Pluto B22 is particularly well suited to applications requiring a large number of local safety inputs without local failsafe outputs. Its 14 dedicated failsafe inputs and eight configurable channels provide up to 22 failsafe inputs, while the Pluto safety bus allows the resulting safety information to be shared with other compatible Pluto units elsewhere in the machine or production system.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machine safety control systems.
• Multi-zone emergency-stop monitoring.
• Machine guard and safety-door monitoring.
• Robotic manufacturing and assembly cells.
• Packaging and processing machinery.
• Conveyor and material-handling systems.
• Distributed safety systems using multiple ABB Pluto controllers.
