Replacing POINT Guard I/O Modules
The following, simplified example shows Guard I/O modules on a DeviceNet
network. Your products may differ, but the function is the same.
Manually Setting the Safety
Network Number
The previous examples showed how the SNN is used to provide safety-
connection integrity after the system is operational. But the SNN is also used to
provide integrity on the initial download to the POINT Guard I/O module.
If a safety signature exists, then the POINT Guard I/O module must have a
proper SNN/node number identification that matches the module within the
safety controller project, before it can receive its configuration. And to keep
integrity, the setting of the module’s SNN is
required
to be a manual action. This
manual action is to use the ‘set’ function on an out-of-box POINT Guard I/O
module.
EXAMPLE
The DeviceNet network supports 64 node numbers, so if you have 100 devices on multiple
DeviceNet networks, there are at least 36 duplicate node numbers being used. Even though the
duplicate nodes are on separate DeviceNet networks, this must still be considered in a safety
system.
In this example, the DNB scanner #1 is connected to node 5. The DNB scanner #2 is connected to
another node 5. If the cables get inadvertently crossed, the scanners may be communicating
with the incorrect node 5.
Crossed Cables
This crossed-cable scenario is unacceptable for a safety system. The SNN provides unique
identification of every safety device. In this next example, all of the devices connected to DNB
scanner #1 have an SNN of 100. All devices connected to DNB scanner #2 have an SNN of 101. If
the cables get inadvertently crossed, the node connected to DNB scanner #1 changes from 100/5
to 101/5. The node connected to DNB scanner #2 changes from 101/5 to 100/5. Therefore, the
safety connections are
not
made if the cables get crossed.
