GuardPLC 1600 Safety Controller
Product Design
The GuardPLC 1600 controller features a built-in four-port Ethernet switch and digital I/O (20 safety rated inputs and eight safety rated outputs). 100M GuardPLC Ethernet comes standard, plus for flexibility in connecting to HMI devices and standard PLCs, the controller includes EtherNet/IP, Modbus RTU Slave or PROFIBUS DP Slave, an RS-485 port for ASCII communications.
At 10 ms throughput, this controller is one of the fastest safety PLCs in the industry. Its exceptionally high mean time between failures helps increase the safety and reliability of your system. Removable terminal blocks make swapping controllers a quick task so operations can be up and running again quickly in the event of failure.
