Safety Programmable Controllers
SmartGuard 600 Safety Controller
The SmartGuard 600 safety controller is a programmable safety controller designed for safety applications that require some complex logic allowing for more advanced safety functionality. It features 16 safety-rated inputs, 8 safety-rated outputs, 4 pulse test sources and an optional EtherNet/IP™ port. To support both standard CIP and CIP safety, a DeviceNet™ connection is also included. Configuration and programming is accomplished on EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, or through the built-in USB port.
Since the SmartGuard 600 safety controller is a safety master on DeviceNet, you can use Rockwell Automation® Guard I/O™ modules to expand the number of safety devices the SmartGuard 600 can control. It can also perform safety interlocking between a GuardLogix® or other SmartGuard safety controllers. With your choice of EtherNet/IP or DeviceNet, other devices such as standard PLCs and HMIs can read data out of the SmartGuard 600 safety controller for system level interlocking, diagnostics and troubleshooting.
Programming is done using RSNetWorx™ for DeviceNet™. Once inside RSNetWorx, you can launch an editor that will allow you to write function block programs for the SmartGuard 600 safety controller. No additional programming software is needed! With ten safety application instructions plus another dozen logic and timing instructions, you can write powerful, yet simple safety control programs
