1768 Compact The Allen-Bradley Compact GuardLogix controller brings together the standard control functionality of the Logix Control Platform – common programming environment, common networks and a common control engine – with the full range of integrated safety functionality of GuardLogix controllers in a smaller package. This provides you with unmatched scalability and flexibility across a wide range of applications. Ideal for mid-range applications, Compact GuardLogix controls up to eight axes of motion and supports the use of CompactBlock Guard I/O and POINT Guard I/O on Ethernet/IP, which creates a new option for machine builders looking to cost-effectively standardize on a single integrated safety control platform. The Compact GuardLogix features a 1oo2 safety architecture and is rated up to and including Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL 3), Performance Level e (PL e) functionality. SIL (Safety Integrity Level) is a measure of a products ability to lower the risk that a dangerous failure could occur. As defined in IEC 61508 “Functional Safety of Electrical/Electronic/ Programmable Safety - Related Systems”. SIL defines a products ability to operate in safety-rated aspects of a control system. SIL 2 and SIL 3 are the most common levels for machinery and process safety applications, GuardLogix can be used in applications that require the use of SIL 2 or SIL 3 compliant products. |
