Pluto Gateway - ProfiBus DP

Pluto Gateway Profibus is a unit providing two-way communication with a Pluto Safety PLC.

Data from Pluto

Via Profibus, a supervisory PLC system can have access to the I/O and other variables in a Pluto Safety PLC. Global I/Os in a Pluto Safety PLC are accessible via Profibus modules in the Gateway, one module for each Pluto unit. Local data in Pluto units can be read by a “local data” module together with the PLC codes in the supervisory system.

Data to Pluto

Via Profibus, a supervisory PLC system can transmit non-safety-related information to a Pluto Safety PLC. A total of 64 Boolean values and 8 different 16-bit registers can be transmitted. Function blocks for these functions are available in Pluto Manager.

PLC Function Blocks

To simplify the integration of a Pluto Gateway Profibus into the supervisory PLC system, Jokab Safety provides ready-made function blocks for several popular brands of PLC. The function blocks make it easier to receive and send information to the Pluto system. The function blocks are supplied as open units with full access for the customer to change and add functions.
