🛠️ B46 v2 Hardware I-O Configuration Mandatory Programming Settings

Bestell-Nr.: 2TLA020070R1700 Pluto B46 v2

ICH: 24 fixed fail-safe inputs

IQ: 16 multi-function channels, software-selectable: Failsafe Input / Non-safe Output

QR: 4 independent safety relay outputs (SIL3/PLe)

QT: 2 independent safety transistor outputs (SIL3/PLe)

IQ channel operating mode must be defined in the Pluto Manager hardware configuration page. Mismatch between wiring and software configuration triggers hardware faults.

🔧 Standard Development Workflow in Pluto Manager

1. Neues Projekt erstellen, select hardware type `Pluto B46 v2`, assign Safety-Bus station address
2. Configure I-O parameters

I-inputs: Dynamic / static input mode (static for light-curtain OSSD signals; dynamic for dual-channel E-stop and safety-gate circuits)

IQ channels: Individually set as Failsafe Input or Non-safe Output

3. Symbolic variable assignment: I-input, Q-output, M-retentive memory, GM-global memory (bus-shared), R-registers
4. LD ladder-logic programming: invoke TÜV-certified safety function-blocks (Not-Aus, Sicherheitstor, Zweihandsteuerung, light-curtain muting, safe speed monitoring)
5. Compile project, resolve errors, assign program password
6. Download program via USB cable. For multi-unit networks, programs are automatically distributed over Pluto-Safety-Bus to all stations
7. Online monitoring: Forced-signal testing permitted only during commissioning, followed by complete machine safety validation
8. Optional: IDFIX-PROG hardware program copy module for spare-unit replacement without a PC

📦 Frequently Used TÜV-Certified Safety Function Blocks

⚠️ Critical Safety Programming Constraints

1. Safety-related functions must use TÜV-certified function blocks. Implementing safety logic purely with generic ladder logic voids SIL3/PLe compliance.
2. IQ configured as outputs are non-safe outputs and shall not be used for safety-related load disconnection. Safety cut-off must use QR relay outputs or QT transistor outputs.
3. Pluto-Bus operates in all-master architecture. Each controller controls its local outputs; GM global memory handles cross-unit data exchange.
4. Program download requires password. DEMO mode permits project viewing only; compilation and download functions are disabled.
5. Spare-unit replacement: Program can be downloaded via USB, or duplicated rapidly using IDFIX-PROG module.
