Why Choose the ABB 2TLA020071R8000 GATE-P2 Pluto Gateway?
The ABB 2TLA020071R8000, type 20-071-80 / GATE-P2, is a dedicated PROFIBUS-DP gateway for ABB Pluto Safety PLC systems. It provides an interface between the Pluto Safety Bus and a higher-level PROFIBUS-DP network, allowing operational and status information from a Pluto safety system to be exchanged with standard industrial automation equipment.
The GATE-P2 is designed to connect directly to the Pluto Safety Bus and operates as a gateway between Pluto and PROFIBUS-DP. This enables data from Pluto controllers to be made available to supervisory PLCs, HMIs and other compatible automation systems without changing the dedicated safety architecture of the Pluto system.
Operating from a 24 V DC supply, the GATE-P2 provides a compact DIN-rail-mounted solution for control cabinets. Its dedicated ABB Pluto interface makes it particularly suitable for machinery where safety-controller information needs to be integrated with the wider factory automation and process-control network.

Reliable PROFIBUS-DP Integration for ABB Pluto Safety Systems
Industrial machinery frequently requires information from the safety-control system to be available to the machine's standard control and supervisory network. A communication gateway provides the interface between these different systems, enabling useful operating information to be exchanged without requiring the higher-level automation controller to communicate directly on the dedicated safety bus.
The ABB GATE-P2 performs this function for Pluto Safety Bus and PROFIBUS-DP installations. By connecting the Pluto system to a PROFIBUS-DP network, it allows relevant Pluto information to be incorporated into machine monitoring, diagnostics, HMI displays and wider automation functions while the Pluto controllers continue to perform the safety-related control functions.
Typical Applications
- ABB Pluto Safety PLC systems.
- PROFIBUS-DP industrial automation networks.
- Machine-safety system integration with supervisory PLCs.
- HMI display of Pluto operating and status information.
- Industrial machinery diagnostics and monitoring.
- Automated production and processing equipment.
- Material-handling and conveyor systems.
- OEM machinery with integrated safety and standard automation controls.
