GuardPLC 2000 Overview
GuardPLC 2000 is a safety-related, high performance programmable electronic system (PES) which is easily expanded and simple to program-the ultimate in scaleable safety control systems. It is designed in accordance with IEC 61131 and complies with the requirements for Category 4 and SIL 3 safety applications, according to EN954 and IEC 61508. The self-testing inputs, self-testing outputs, and watchdog guarantee fail-safe operation.
The GuardPLC 2000 controller includes a CPU with communication ports and I/O modules. As many as six I/O modules may be added to the basic GuardPLC 2000, including digital input and ouput channels. The GuardPLC 2000 can provide as many as 144 digital inputs and 96 digital outputs. All I/O can be tested by the CPU to ensure system integrity.
Typical applications for the GuardPLC 2000 include press and burner controls.
