1732DS ArmorBlock Guard I/O
|
Description
ArmorBlock® Guard I/O™ provides all the advantages of traditional distributed I/O for safety systems, but has an IP67 package that can be mounted directly on your machine. On-machine safety I/O reduces wiring time and startup costs for safety controller applications by eliminating electrical boxes and simplifying cable installation. The ArmorBlock family provides industrially hardened I/O blocks that you can mount directly on equipment near sensors or actuators. Wiring the I/O to the sensors and actuators is easy using pre-wired quick disconnect cables.
You can use Guard I/O with any safety controller that communicates on DeviceNet using CIP Safety for the control and monitoring of safety circuits. Guard I/O detects circuit failures at each I/O point while providing detailed diagnostics directly to the controller. With CIP Safety, you can easily integrate safety and standard control systems by using safety and standard messages on the same wire.
The 1732DS ArmorBlock Guard I/O family consists of 24V dc digital I/O modules that communicate on DeviceNet networks. The I/O connectors are sealed M12 micro style while the network and auxiliary power connectors are sealed mini style. Plus, the ArmorBlock Guard I/O uses the same input and output M12 pin configuration as standard ArmorBlock and Maxum.
Benefits
- IP67 rated for direct mounting on machine without an enclosure.
- Compact footprint.
- Quick disconnect dual-channel M12 I/O connectors allow a single cable connected between ArmorBlock Guard I/O and a dual-channel safety device. (See the following table of Allen-Bradley Guardmaster safety devices.)
- TÜV certified as a system with GuardLogix, GuardPLC1600/1800, SmartGuard 600 controllers.
- Supports both standard and safety control.
- Supports single and dual-channel devices on inputs and outputs.
- I/O point-level and other detailed fault diagnostics are available to the PLC or HMI with self-testing inputs and outputs.
- EDS (RSNetWorx for DeviceNet) or RSLogix 5000 profile configuration.
- TÜV and UL certified for functional safety up to SIL 3 and Category 4.
- Additional standard solid-state outputs can be configured as pulse test sources, outputs for standard PLC control, 24V dc sources, or muting lamp control and monitoring.
