GuardLogix Controllers with Safety

GuardLogix Programmable Automation Controller with Safety

The 1756 GuardLogix® controller is a ControlLogix® controller that also provides safety control. As part of the Logix family, GuardLogix controllers use a common control engine with a common development environment to provide high performance multi-discipline control for SIL 3 safety applications. GuardLogix Safety PACs offer integrated safety, discrete, motion, drive and process control, as well as seamless connectivity to plant-wide information systems, all in the same controller. Use EtherNet/IP™ or ControlNet™ networks for safety interlocking between GuardLogix controllers. Connect field devices over EtherNet/IP or DeviceNet™ networks.

Features

  • Provides premier high-speed, high-performance, multi-disciplined control for SIL 3 applications
  • Provides system-wide integration of standard and safety control
  • Compatible with ArmorBlock® Guard I/O™ or CompactBlock™ Guard I/O modules for field device connectivity on EtherNet/IP™ or DeviceNet™ networks
  • Supports safety interlocking between GuardLogix® controllers over EtherNet/IP or ControlNet™ networks
  • Uses a 1756-L6xS primary controller and a 1756-LSP safety partner to achieve SIL 3, Cat. 4, PLe safety certification
  • Offers all of the features of a standard ControlLogix® controller (except redundancy)

Controllers

Bulletin 1756 ControlLogix® and GuardLogix® Controllers include a range of controllers to suit standard, safety, redundant and extreme environment applications. With memory options ranging 2...32 MB, these controllers provide fast processing in a single integrated solution for all types of applications. Network options include EtherNet/IP™,ControlNet™, DeviceNet™, DH+™, Remote I/O, RS-232, and many third-party process and device networks.

Redundancy Modules

Bulletin 1756 and 1757 ControlLogix® Redundancy Modules support fully redundant controller architectures with no additional programming required. Programs are cross-loaded automatically from the primary to the secondary controller, and the primary automatically updates the secondary with data changes to maintain controller synchronization. If the primary fails, control switches to the secondary automatically, and highest priority functions are guaranteed a ‘bumpless transfer.' Controller redundancy is transparent to any devices connected over an EtherNet/IP™ or ControlNet™ network. Select the ControlLogix extreme environment redundancy module for applications that must run in extreme environments.

Communication Modules

The ControlLogix® Communication Modules support EtherNet/IP™, ControlNet™, DeviceNet™, Data Highway Plus™, Remote I/O, Foundation Fieldbus, serial, DH-485 and SynchLink™ networks. Interface using ControlLogix communication modules via a ControlLogix gateway (without a controller in the gateway chassis), or interface directly to a ControlLogix controller. ControlLogix extreme environment communication modules are available for EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, Data Highway Plus and Remote I/O networks.

I/O Modules

Bulletin 1756 ControlLogix® I/O modules provide a full range of digital, diagnostic digital, analog, and motion control I/O to meet your application needs. Any of the I/O modules can be used in the local chassis of a ControlLogix controller. With the exception of the motion control modules, these modules can be used in a chassis linked to a ControlLogix controller across ControlNet™ or EtherNet/IP™ networks in a ControlLogix system.

Motion Modules

Add the Bulletin 1756 SERCOS Interface Motion Modules or Analog Interface Motion Modules to your ControlLogix® system to leverage the power of the Kinetix® Integrated Motion solution. The Logix platform supports motion control components that work in a wide variety of machine architectures.

Power Supplies

Use the Bulletin 1756 ControlLogix® Power Supplies with the 1756 ControlLogix chassis to provide 1.2V, 3.3V, 5V and 24V DC power directly to the chassis backplane. These power supplies are available in standard, redundant and extreme environment models.

Chassis

Modular ControlLogix® and GuardLogix® systems require Bulletin 1756 I/O Chassis. These chassis are designed for horizontal-only, back-panel mounting. You can place any module into any slot. The backplane provides a high-speed communication path between modules. Chassis are available in standard and extreme environment models.
