Features of the ControlLogix SIL 2 System
Chapter 2
EtherNet/IP Network
An EtherNet/IP connection can be used to:
•
download, monitor, and visualize the controller.
•
connect to remote I/O chassis.
EtherNet/IP networks support messaging, produced/consumed tags, and
distributed I/O.
When using an EtherNet/IP network for SIL 2 data communication, you may
not use non-SIL 2-rated hardware, such as Ethernet switches.
Use two 1756-EN2TR EtherNet/IP modules for SIL 2 safety loops. Each
redundant input must be routed through separate EtherNet/IP communication
modules.The SIL 2 output and its secondary shutoff must be routed through the
separate 1756-EN2TR EtherNet/IP modules.
Electronic Keying of Modules
in SIL 2 Applications
If a module in your SIL 2-certified ControlLogix system is replaced, it should be
replaced with an identical module. Use the Exact Match keying option whenever
possible to enforce this requirement.
Exact Match keying requires all keying attributes, that is, Vendor, Product Type,
Product Code (catalog number), Major Revision, and Minor Revision, of the
physical module and the module created in the software to match precisely before
establishing communication. If any attribute does not match precisely, I/O
communication is not permitted with the module or with modules connected
through it, as in the case of a communication module.
For more information about electronic keying, see the ControlLogix Digital I/O
Modules User Manual, publication
