Normally,however, all the settings are made via a DIP switches,which means that programming tools are not required toput the gateway itself into operation.For programming Pluto there are ready-made functionblocks which, via a Pluto gateway, send and receive datafrom the supervisory system.Data from PlutoVia DeviceNet a supervisory PLC system can have accessto the I/O and other variables in a Pluto safety PLC. GlobalI/Os in a Pluto safety PLC are accessible via DeviceNet”implicit” messages. Local data in Pluto units can be readvia DeviceNet ”explicit” messages.Data to PlutoVia DeviceNet a supervisory PLC system can transmit nonsafety-relatedinformation to a Pluto safety PLC. A total of64 Boolean values and 8 different 16-bit registers can betransmitted (via DeviceNet ”implicit” or ”explicit” messages).Function blocks for these commands are available inPluto Manager.several sections. This is particularly useful when long databuscables are needed.There is also a built-in filter function which makes it possibleto block any data that is not required for use on theother side of the bridge, which reduces the databus loadingin the other sections and thereby permits longer databuscables.ABB Robotics IRC5PLUTO GATE-D2 has support for integration into an ABBRobotics IRC5-system.
