1756 GuardLogix Controllers 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.

1756 ControlLogix Control System   

• 1756 ControlLogix Controllers
• 1756 ControlLogix I/O
• Chassis
• Redundancy Modules
• Motion Modules
• Communications
• Power Supplies    

ControlLogix controllers use a common control engine with a common development environment to provide high performance in an easy-to-use environment. Tight integration between the programming software, controller and I/O modules reduces development time and cost at commissioning and during normal operation. You can perform standard and safety control in the same chassis for a truly integrated system.

SoftLogix Control System  

• 1789 SoftLogix Controllers
• Communications    

SoftLogix controllers use a common control engine with a common development environment to provide high performance in an easy-to-use environment. A typical SoftLogix system uses a virtual chassis application that houses controllers and communication modules, which interface with other Logix controllers and I/O modules. I/O simulator modules in the virtual chassis make application debugging and system start-up easier.

Allen-Bradley Safety Programmable Controllers

Safety PLC systems bring the benefits of traditional PLC systems to complex safety applications, replacing the hard-wired relay systems normally required to bring automated processes to a safe state. Safety PLCs allow standard and safety-related programs to reside in a single controller chassis, providing flexibility in programming as well as a familiar and easy-to-use environment for programmers. Our safety controller solutions provide open and integrated control that will help to ensure machine safety and protect your current control investments.

1752 SmartGuard 600 Controllers with Safety     
Bulletin 1752 SmartGuard 600 safety controllers feature 16 safety-rated inputs, 8 safety-rated outputs, 4 pulse test sources and an optional EtherNet/IP port. Each controller also includes a DeviceNet connection to support both standard CIP and CIP safety. You can configure and program on EtherNet/IP, on DeviceNet or through the built-in USB port. These small, cost-effective intelligent controllers can perform safety interlocking between GuardLogix or other SmartGuard safety controllers.
