The GuardPLC 1600 controller is a mainstream, cost-effective safety PLC that provides onboard digital I/O, a built-in 4-port Ethernet switch, and flexible communication options for connection to HMIs and to standard PLCs.
Benefits
- 28 safety digital I/O points – designed specifically for interfacing with safety components such as e-stops, light curtains, etc.
- Embedded 4-port Ethernet switch – eliminates the need for external networking hardware, reducing system cost.
- EtherNet/IP for easy integration with standard PLCs and HMIs.
- Modbus RTU slave and PROFIBUS DP slave communication options – allow the controller to connect to standard PLCs and HMI devices, and an RS-485 port is available for ASCII communication (read only).
- Expandability – use GuardPLC Distributed I/O to cost-effectively expand your safety system.
- Removable terminal blocks – make swapping controllers an efficient task so operations can be up and running again quickly in the event of a failure.
Typical Applications
- Perimeter guarding for robot / weld cells
- Perimeter guarding for packaging machines
- Press controls
- Semiconductor tools
