POINT Guard I/O Overview Chapter 1
POINT Guard I/O Modules in
CIP Safety Systems
POINT Guard I/O modules are used in the POINT I/O platform and
implement CIP Safety protocol extensions over EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet
networks to communicate safety messages. POINT Guard I/O modules connect
to EtherNet/IP or DeviceNet networks via these network adapters.
Distributed I/O communication for safety I/O data is performed through safety
connections that support CIP Safety over an EtherNet/IP or DeviceNet
network. Data processing is performed in the safety controller. A control
monitors the status and fault diagnostics of POINT Guard I/O modules.
In addition to I/O state data, the modules include status data for monitoring I/O
faults within each circuit.
A password can help protect the configuration information of the modules.
1734-IB8S Digital Input Module Features
• Safety digital inputs
– Safety devices, such as Emergency Stop Push Button, gate switches, and
safety light curtains, can be connected.
– Dual-channel mode evaluates consistency between two input signals
(channels), which allows use of the module for safety Category 3 and 4
and in applications that are rated up to and including Performance
Level e/SIL CL3 when both channels' Point Mode configurations are
set to Safety Pulse Test.
– Single-channel mode evaluates one input signal (channel), which allows
use of the module for safety Category 2 and in applications that are
rated up to and including Performance Level d/SIL CL 2 when the
channel's Point Mode configuration is set to Safety Pulse Test.
– You can configure a discrepancy time to control how long two channels
are allowed to be discrepant before a fault is declared.
– An external wiring short circuit check is possible when inputs are wired
in combination with test outputs. The module must be wired in
combination with test outputs when this function is used.
– Independently adjustable on and off delays are available per channel.
