Allen Bradley Guardmaster SmartGuard 600 Safety Controller, 16 Safety Inputs, 8 Safety Outputs, 24 V dc

Smartguard 600, Safety Controller, Base Unit

Designed for applications that have traditionally fallen between safety relays and safety PLCs, the SmartGuard 600 is a general purpose programmable safety controller 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 a DeviceNet connection that supports both standard and CIP Safety communication. Configuration and programming is accomplished through the built-in USB port.

Safety master on DeviceNet: you can use any Rockwell Automation Guard I/O to expand the number of safety devices the unit can control
It can also perform safety interlocking between a GuardLogix, GuardPLC or other SmartGuard safety controllers
Connections for DeviceNet and USB communications
The DeviceNet port supports both standard and CIP safety communication. CIP Safety is simply an extension of DeviceNet, other devices such as standard PLCs and HMIs can read data out of the SmartGuard 600 for system level interlocking, diagnostics and troubleshooting
Use RSNetWorx for DeviceNet (sold separately) to program the SmartGuard 600 and configure the DeviceNet network. Within RSNetWorx you can launch an editor that will allow you to write function block programs for the SmartGuard 600 and with ten safety application instructions plus another dozen logic and timing instructions, you can write powerful, yet simple safety control programs
Can be used in many safety applications including: E-stop; light curtain; safety gate; two hand control; Multi-zone control; Perimeter guarding
