Why Choose the ABB 2TLA020072R0200 URAX-B1R Safe Input?
The ABB 2TLA020072R0200, type 20-072-02 / URAX-B1R, is a safe input slave for AS-i bus within the ABB Safety PLC product group. It is designed to connect ABB dynamic safety devices, including Eden sensors and Tina components, to an AS-Interface safety system while providing additional non-safe outputs for auxiliary control and indication functions.
The URAX-B1R provides one safe input for dynamic sensors, three non-safe outputs and an input for local reset. The dynamic safety circuit allows compatible sensors to be connected in series, with support for up to 10 compatible Eden sensors and a total sensor cable length of less than 30 m.
Designed for industrial machine-safety installations, the URAX-B1R combines an AS-i supply with a separate 24 V DC auxiliary supply for its non-safe outputs. Its compact yellow-and-black enclosure provides IP67 protection and operates across an ambient temperature range of -25 to +65 °C, making it suitable for decentralised safety-device connection on machinery and automated equipment.

Reliable Dynamic Safety Input Integration with AS-i
ABB's dynamic safety-signal principle uses a single-channel dynamic signal that is inverted by each compatible safety device in the chain. This enables faults such as short circuits and defective sensors to be detected while allowing multiple compatible devices to be connected in series. The URAX-B1R generates and evaluates this dynamic signal and can be configured for the odd or even number of sensors connected to the safety loop.
Alongside its safe input functionality, the URAX-B1R provides three non-safe outputs controlled from the AS-i master. These outputs can be used for auxiliary functions such as indicators or compatible machine-control devices, while the dedicated reset input can be configured for either automatic or manual local reset. This combination makes the URAX-B1R a versatile decentralised interface between ABB dynamic safety devices and an AS-i safety network.
