SABO Elektronik GmbH
About us
Products. People. Solutions.
There are plenty of standard products on the market. But when custom requirements, rapid response times, and long-term availability matter, you need more than just a supplier.
Since 1985, SABO Elektronik GmbH has been developing and manufacturing customized automation and electronic solutions for industrial and building automation. As a privately-owned company, we combine development, manufacturing, programming, and support under one roof at our German headquarters. The result is solutions that not only excel technically, but also offer long-term availability and reliable lifecycle support.
What sets SABO apart is simple: we do not think in products, we think in solutions. While many companies focus exclusively on development, manufacturing, or support, we bring all three disciplines together within one organization. Our customers benefit from short decision-making processes, direct access to experts, and exceptional flexibility when it comes to new requirements or product modifications.
In addition to our own PLCs, HMI operator panels, and I/O systems, we develop customized hardware and software solutions for OEM customers. Our portfolio is further complemented by professional engineering services, CODESYS programming, and advanced Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS).
Our electronics manufacturing operation is built around a highly automated high-speed SMD production line with integrated AOI inspection. Complemented by THT assembly, wave soldering, selective soldering, and comprehensive electrical testing, we are able to deliver both high-volume production and sophisticated custom solutions with outstanding quality, flexibility, and delivery reliability.
Certifications according to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001, together with UL-certified products, reflect the high standards of quality, safety, and sustainability our customers around the world expect from SABO.
Anyone can offer standard products. SABO develops your solution.
Products & services
PLM 800 – Master-Terminals
The Master-Terminals of the next generation programmed in CODESYS according to IEC 61131-3 meet all requirements for controlling and regulating complex systems. The combination of powerful ARM Cortex-A9 i. MX6 Quad 4 x 800 MHz processors and state-of-the-art touch screens guarantees perfect handling of versatile applications. The master terminals of the PLM 800 system family offer different screen sizes and, depending on the system version, a front panel with decorative foil, partial glass with decorative foil strips or full glass. Each Master Terminal designed for front panel mounting or installation in plastic housings.
PLM 800 – I/O expansion
For I/O expansion, our master terminals can be directly equipped with expansion modules at the rear. Depending on the system size and number of expansion slots, one or more modules can be mounted at the rear. The expansion modules of the PLM 800 system family are available in three sizes with different functional ranges.
PLM 850 – compact control systems
The master compact systems of the system family PLM 850 are programmed in CODESYS according to IEC 61131-3 and are based on the same system architecture as our master terminals of the system family PLM 800. They are available in three sizes and are designed for mounting via a mounting plate or DIN rail. Depending on the system size and number of expansion slots, one or more expansion modules of the PLM 700 and PLM 800 system family can be mounted on the rear.
PLM 730 - modular control system
The modular control system of the PLM 730 system family consists of CAN fieldbus components designed for use in control systems with decentralized I/O nodes. All fieldbus components are designed for DIN rail mounting and are graduated in grid widths of 22. 5 mm. In addition, both the CAN bus and the supply voltage are routed via a bus strip integrated in the DIN rail. The extensive product portfolio of more than 100 different fieldbus components enables solutions with conventional I/Os through to communication with standardized fieldbus protocols typical for the industry.
PLM 760 – compact control systems
The compact control systems of the PLM 760 system family are programmed in CODESYS according to IEC 61131-3 and are designed for DIN rail mounting. The processor compact modules are available in a basic version without CAN interface or in an expandable version with CAN interface. Both system versions are also available with or without a 4,3-inch touchscreen. With its low overall height of only 66 mm, the system is predestined for installation in flat switch boxes. Our plastic housings and extensive functionalities are required in the smallest of spaces. For I/O expansion, our PLM master terminal systems can be equipped directly with expansion modules without a 4,3-inch touchscreen. The PLM master system in the expandable version with or without touchscreen also can expanded with additional compact expansion modules via the CAN interface.
