Simplified control system safety integration
POINT Guard I/O
POINT Guard I/O are safety rated I/O modules designed to fit into the standard POINT I/O system, thus offering automation and safety functionality in a maximum density I/O solution. They are ideal for use in applications requiring safety and automation control. They communicate with CIP Safety protocol over EtherNet/IP for GuardLogix® safety controllers and DeviceNet for SmartGuard™ 600 safety controllers.
- CIP Safety over EtherNet/IP or DeviceNet
- Maximum density I/O solution for premium panel space applications
- Safety and automation control in one I/O solution
The application of the CIP Safety protocol allows simultaneous transmission of safety and automation control data and diagnostic information over one CIP network.
POINT I/O and POINT Guard I/O can be controlled by a single GuardLogix controller for both safety and automation control through one node. If separate safety control is required, a GuardLogix controller can be used with POINT Guard I/O for safety control and a ControlLogix® controller with POINT I/O for automation control. No changes are required to the POINT I/O system.
This solution is ideal for applications requiring maximum I/O density in minimum panel space. The advanced solid-state design allows for module replacement in minutes and reduces the need for special maintenance or training.
POINT Guard I/O is designed for use with industrial equipment and is especially suited for robotic, point-of-operation, guard-monitoring and distributed control applications.
