Pluto Manager

Programming of a Project using Pluto

Step 1: Hardware Configuration of Pluto I/O

Inputs can be selected for static or dynamic pulse inputs. Outputs can be configured to transmit either static or pulsed signals. Eight I/O can be programmed as both inputs and outputs as for example push button input and light indication.

Step 2: Defining Variables

The system has the following variable types: inputs (I), outputs (Q), memories (M), global memories for bus communication (GM) and registers (R). The variables can be assigned a name which is used instead of the actual variable description in the PLC program.

Step 3: Programming

The programming language for Pluto contains predefined function blocks, certified by TV Rheinland, with solutions for ordinary safety functions. The function blocks can be used together with ordinary ladder instructions. The programming language has a full instruction repertoire, like standard PLCs on the market, with timers, arithmetic sequence programming, etc.
