1753 GuardPLC Safety I/O
Distributed Safety I/O for GuardPLC Ethernet
|
Take advantage of all the benefits of traditional distributed I/O with GuardPLC distributed safety I/O, available for all GuardPLC systems.
GuardPLC distributed I/O modules provide considerable flexibility in configuring the right mix of I/O in the right place. The 16 digital input module offers 4 pulse test source terminals, allowing users to pulse test all 16 digital inputs from the I/O module and providing PLe/Category 4 capable safety circuitry while retaining all the advantages of distributed I/O. The 16 digital output module is rated for 2A on every other output point, limiting the need for additional interposing safety relays for additional current and therefore saving on machine costs.
The safety relay output module can provide dry contact enable signals as well as high current AC or DC outputs. The 8 input/8 output and 16 input/8 output digital combination modules feature both positive and negative switching outputs, for applications that use diverse outputs. The analog input module lets you distribute analog inputs for more process-oriented safety applications.
All I/O modules include GuardPLC 100 Mbps Ethernet, which provides one of the fastest safety networks and machine stop times in the industry. The built-in two-port Ethernet switches make connecting I/O modules to the GuardPLC controller as easy as daisy-chaining Ethernet cable from I/O module to controller.
Benefits
- Place the I/O where the devices reside.
- Reduce wiring costs and the time necessary to wire the machine or cell.
- Reduce machine or cell start up time.
- Increase machine and cell reliability.
