Features

• Includes small, cost-effective intelligent safety controllers

• Leverages several types of embedded and safety I/O modules

• Lets you use the DeviceNet™ network to distribute safety I/O and integrate into a standard control system

• Ideal for mid-level safety applications that are too complex for safety relays, yet too simple for full-sized safety PLCs

• Supports controller configuration and programming through RSNetWorx™ for DeviceNet software

1752 SmartGuard 600 Controllers with Safety

Bulletin 1752 SmartGuard™ 600 safety controllers feature 16 safety-rated inputs, 8 safety-rated outputs, 4 pulse test sources and an optional EtherNet/IP™ port. Each controller also includes a DeviceNet™ connection to support both standard CIP and CIP safety. You can configure and program on EtherNet/IP, on DeviceNet or through the built-in USB port. These small, cost-effective intelligent controllers can perform safety interlocking between GuardLogix® or other SmartGuard safety controllers.

Applications

Use the SmartGuard™ 600 controller in safety applications:

• where a safety relay solution (or configurable safety relay solution) is just too complex

• that require distributed safety I/O and/or network integration with a standard PLC

• where GuardLogix® or GuardPLC™ controllers seem too big (or are not cost-effective)

• that require multi-zone control

• for complex light curtain situations (implementing light curtain muting when a robot is not in the operator load zone and monitoring an enable pendant that lets the operator enter the zone with the robot present)
