Hardware Selection and Safety Wiring Layout
3. Copy desired drawing files into a project folder.
The Guard I/O module drawings include a wide variety of safety devices but not all on each module drawing. So it
is recommended you copy most of the Guard I/O module drawings into your project.
For this Robot Cell example, GuardLogix power, networks, I/O, and layout drawings were gathered along with
light curtain and Guard I/O drawings.
Edit Project Drawing Set
These steps provide general instructions for how to maximize the use of the toolkit’s drawing library in creating a safety
system layout and wiring drawing set. AutoCAD or AutoCAD Electrical software is recommended to take full advantage
of the drawing editing steps included in this chapter and the library’s device wiring references and attributes that move
with the devices as you edit your project drawing set. Some of the initial project creation steps are illustrated using
AutoCAD Electrical software, but most are generic and can be used with a variety of software drawing packages.
1. Open your drawing software.
2. Create and name your new project.
