ABB Programmable Safety Controllers

The Pluto concept enables simple communication, programming and changes to the system. Pluto reduces installation time in many ways. For example, its safe bus simplifies the connection between cabinets in accordance with PL e/SIL3.

The programming software combines TÜV approved function blocks and ladder logic, and is very easy to use. Furthermore, up to 32 Pluto units can exchange data without having to configure or program the communication.

ABB Vital Safety Controller

When several safety devices should control the same output, it is quite common to connect them in series. But to reach PL e, serial connection is not possible and each device should have its own safety relay. Vital offers the capability to exclusively control smaller machine safety systems that would otherwise have required a programmable controller or multiple safety relays. With the Vital safety controller, up to 30 safety devices can be connected in series to one Vital and still reach PL e.

ABB Safety relays

The Sentry safety relays are powerful and easy to use safety relays, suitable for all common types of safety applications.

The Sentry series contains basic models for simple applications and easy output expansion, as well as highly flexible models with extremely accurate timer functions.

Sentry safety relays are used in both simple and more advanced safety solutions when safety devices need to be monitored according to the requirements of functional safety standards.

ABB Safety sensors, switches and locks

Sensors, switches and locks are used to control the gates and hatches around hazardous machinery, and to monitor the position of a machine.

ABB Light Curtain Optical safety devices

Optical safety devices detect a presence in their protected field and don’t require any action from the machine operator. Therefore, they are considered as more production friendly than other safety devices. Our broad range of optical safety devices includes light curtains and light grids. Some are basic for the simple applications, some offer more advanced functions as muting for the more demanding applications.

ABB Emergency stops and pilot devices

An emergency stop device is used to permit anyone to stop machinery if it breaks down or if someone is in danger. We offer different types of traditional mushroom head type emergency stop for different types of mounting and environment. We also offer pull wire emergency stop switches which allow emergency command from any point along the installed wire length.

ABB Safety control devices

Safety control devices are used to directly start and stop dangerous machine movements. We offer several different types of control devices to meet different needs.

ABB Jokab GKey safety lock

GKey is a robust safety lock with a die cast housing for hinged and sliding doors. GKey offers an interlocking function reaching PL e/SIL 3 with high level coding. Power is needed to unlock GKey which makes GKey a safety lock.

GKey is fitted with an rear escape release button, manual unlocking (auxiliary release) and offers four positions to integrate 22 mm pilot devices.
By integrating the pilot devices into the switch housing, the number of external boxes for emergency stops, push buttons and selectors are reduced – together with the cables and mounting brackets they would require.
This results in a simplified installation, as well as less space used.

ABB MKey - Safety key switches

MKey safety switches are intended for detecting the position of moving guards. They are designed to fit the leading edge of sliding, hinged or lift off machine guards. MKey switches have rotary heads which provides ease of mounting and offer different actuator entry positions.

The MKey switches are available in several versions to meet different needs. Depending on the environment where the switch will be used, different material can be chosen. For extra durability, stainless steel versions are available. MKey RFID models simplifies safety by combining the two safety functions – interlock and safety lock – into the same product.
