Compact safety PLC module

Jokab Safety has released a new double sized Pluto module (90 mm in width), for the Pluto safety PLC system.

Jokab Safety has released a new double sized Pluto module (90 mm in width), for the Pluto safety PLC system. The Pluto B46-6 module has been developed from the need for a compact safety PLC module with more I/O's. It is available either with bus connection (B 46-6) or as a stand alone unit (S46-6).

Pluto B46-6 and S46-6 has in total 46 I/O's of which 6 are individual safe outputs.

16 I/O's can be used either as inputs or outputs and 24 I/O's are inputs for safety devices or other devices.

The 'Pluto Manager' software is based on ladder programming which makes Pluto practical to use for both safety monitoring and for the control of smaller machines and compatible for both B46 and A20 series.

The Pluto Manager Software is available free of charge and Jokab Safety UK run 1 day workshops to enable engineers to become familiar with safety PLC's.

A HMI can be connected directly to the serial interface on the front of the Pluto module or to the safety can-bus to allow users to identify if the safety devices in the field have been activated.
