GuardPLC 1800 Safety Controller
Product Design
The GuardPLC 1800 controller has the same features as the GuardPLC 1600 controller with additional I/O, including analog I/O and high-speed counters for specialty applications. Built-in I/O includes 24 digital inputs, 8 digital outputs, 8 analog inputs, plus 2 high-speed counters. With GuardPLC distributed I/O you can place additional safety I/O where your safety field devices are located, reducing wiring costs.
The GuardPLC 1800 offers a built-in four-port Ethernet switch and 100M GuardPLC Ethernet comes standard. 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.
