Why Choose the ABB 2TLA020071R9300 GATE-PN Ethernet Gateway?
The ABB 2TLA020071R9300, designated GATE-PN, is a dedicated Ethernet gateway for PROFINET designed to provide bidirectional communication between the ABB Pluto Safety Bus and PROFINET-based industrial automation networks. Classified within the Safety PLC product group, it provides a practical interface for exchanging operational data between Pluto safety controllers and compatible PLC or supervisory control systems.
The GATE-PN bridges the Pluto CAN bus with an Ethernet network using the PROFINET industrial Ethernet protocol. This allows information from connected Pluto controllers to be made available to a standard automation system while maintaining the Pluto network as the dedicated machine-safety control architecture.
Designed for industrial control cabinets, the GATE-PN mounts vertically on a standard 35 mm DIN rail. The gateway provides Ethernet connectivity for PROFINET communication together with the Pluto bus interface, making it particularly useful for machine builders and system integrators who need to incorporate ABB Pluto safety systems into PROFINET-based automation architectures.

Reliable PROFINET Integration for Pluto Safety Systems
The ABB GATE-PN provides the communication bridge required when a Pluto Safety PLC installation must exchange information with a PROFINET-based automation system. The gateway connects the Pluto CAN bus to the non-safe industrial Ethernet network, allowing compatible PLCs and supervisory systems to access relevant Pluto information without replacing the dedicated Pluto safety-control architecture.
This separation is particularly useful in modern machinery where functional safety and standard machine automation are handled by interconnected but distinct control systems. The GATE-PN enables the Pluto installation to communicate with the wider PROFINET architecture while providing a purpose-designed ABB interface for commissioning, diagnostics and system integration.
Typical Applications
- Connecting ABB Pluto Safety PLC networks to PROFINET systems.
- Machine-safety and standard PLC integration.
- PROFINET-based production and assembly machinery.
- Industrial automation network interfacing.
- Material handling and automated manufacturing systems.
- OEM machinery using ABB Pluto safety control with PROFINET automation.
