GuardPLC 1800 Safety Controller
GuardPLC 1800 Controller
|
The GuardPLC 1800 controller takes all the features of the GuardPLC 1600 controller, then adds analog inputs and high-speed counters for specialized applications such as emergency shut down, flame control, and amusement park ride control.
Benefits
- 32 safety digital I/O points – designed specifically for interfacing with safety components such as e-stops and light curtains.
- 8 safety-rated analog inputs – for sensing temperature, pressure, etc.
- 2 safety-rated high-speed counters – for sensing speed, flow, and motion.
- Embedded 4-port Ethernet switch – eliminates the need for external networking hardware.
- Supports EtherNet/IP protocol for easy integration with standard PLCs and HMIs.
- Modbus RTU slave and PROFIBUS DP slave communication options – lets the controller 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 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
- Emergency shutdown
- Burner management systems
- Perimeter guarding for robot / weld cells
- Perimeter guarding for packaging machines
