GuardPLC 1800 Overview
Distributed safety is here with the arrival of the GuardPLC 1800 from Rockwell Automation. GuardPLC 1800 takes all the features of the GuardPLC 1600, then adds analog inputs and high speed counter inputs for specialized applications such as emergency shutdowns, flame control, and amusement park ride control. Its eight analog inputs and two high speed counters allow the GuardPLC 1800 to expand beyond simple digital safety devices and sense field temperatures, pressure, speed, and motion. Like the GuardPLC 1600, 100M GuardPLC Ethernet comes standard, plus the GuardPLC 1800 offers additional communication options for flexibility in connecting to HMI devices and standard PLCs.
Typical applications for the GuardPLC 1800 include flame control, burner management, punch press clutch or brake control, amusement park ride control, and emergency shut down.
