GuardPLC 1600 Overview
Distributed safety is here with the arrival of the GuardPLC 1600 from Rockwell Automation. GuardPLC 1600 is a mainstream, cost-effective safety PLC offering a built-in 4 port Ethernet switch and digital I/O (20 safety-rated inputs and 8 Category 4 outputs). 100M GuardPLC Ethernet comes standard, plus the GuardPLC 1600 offers additional communication options for flexibility in connecting to HMI devices and standard PLCs.
At 10 ms throughput, the GuardPLC 1600 is the fastest safety PLC in the industry. Its exceptionally high mean time between failures ensures your system is not only safe but also reliable. Removable terminal blocks make swapping controllers a quick task so operations can be up and running again quickly in the event of failure.
Typical applications for the GuardPLC 1600 include robot and robot cell perimeter guarding; pulp, paper, and printing machine perimeter guarding; punch press clutch or brake control; and automated material handling system guarding.
