Configure Your Controller for DeviceNet Communications 65
SmartGuard Controller as Safety Slave and Safety Originator
When the controller operates as a safety slave, you can configure the
safety slave assemblies to transfer local I/O data (monitor data),
controller and I/O status data, and distributed I/O data to a safety
master. The safety master can also write safety data to the slave
SmartGuard controller, which it can use in its application program.
When status data is set, the status is allocated at the beginning of the
remote I/O area, with status data preceding local I/O data.
User-registered I/O tags follow. Status areas that are not set are not
reserved. All valid data is allocated with no unassigned areas.
Create Safety Slave I/O Data
Follow these steps to create a safety slave assembly.
1. In RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software, right-click the
SmartGuard controller that will act as the safety slave and
choose Properties.
2. Select the Safety Slave I/O tab.
3. Click New.
