POINT Guard I/O are safety rated I/O modules designed to fft into the
standard POINT I/O system, thus offering automation and safety
functionality in a maximum density I/O solution. They are ideal for use in
applications requiring safety and automation control. They communicate
with CIP Safety protocol over EtherNet/IP for GuardLogix® safety controllers
and DeviceNet for SmartGuard™ 600 safety controllers.
• CIP Safety over EtherNet/IP or DeviceNet
• Maximum density I/O solution for premium panel space applications
• Safety and automation control in one I/O solution
The application of the CIP Safety protocol allows simultaneous
transmission of safety and automation control data and diagnostic
information over one CIP network.
POINT I/O and POINT Guard I/O can be controlled by a single
GuardLogix controller for both safety and automation control through
one node. If separate safety control is required, a GuardLogix controller
can be used with POINT Guard I/O for safety control and a ControlLogix®
controller with POINT I/O for automation control. No changes are
required to the POINT I/O system.
This solution is ideal for applications requiring maximum I/O
density in minimum panel space. The advanced solid-state design allows
for module replacement in minutes and reduces the need for special
maintenance or training.
POINT Guard I/O is designed for use with industrial equipment and is
especially suited for robotic, point-of-operation, guard-monitoring and
distributed control application
