Example: Connecting Actuators to the Outputs
The digital outputs can be pulsed with the safety-related digital inputs of the same device. This
enables short-circuit or line-break monitoring to be carried out (that is, emergency stop buttons
to conform to Cat. 4 in EN954-1).
Make Communication Connections
The controller supports separate connections for safety and nonsafety-related communication.
Connections for Safety-related Communication
The controller has four 10/100BaseT, RJ45 connectors to provide communication via
GuardPLC Ethernet protocol to distributed I/O and other GuardPLC controllers, OLE for
Process Control (OPC) servers, and with the programming software. Connectors 1 and 2 are on
the bottom side on the left. Connectors 3 and 4 are on the top side on the left. All four
connectors and the GuardPLC processor are connected together by an internal Ethernet switch.
The switches are auto-detect. Either crossover or straight-through Ethernet cabling can be used.
Star or line configurations are available. Make sure that a network loop is not generated. Data
packets must be able to reach a node only via a single path.
TIP
Inductive loads can be connected without a protection diode on the load.
However, Rockwell Automation strongly recommends that a protection diode be
fitted directly to the load to suppress any interference voltage. A 1N4004 diode
is recommended.
ATTENTION:
Pulse outputs may not be used as safety-related outputs.
