One compact control package
September 1st 2007 Manufacturers wanting to reduce
their installed costs while
improving the productivity of their
employees by incorporating
flexible and programmable safety
solutions into their machine design
have a new, cost effective option
from Rockwell Automation.
The Allen-Bradley SmartGuard
600 safety controller measures 101
by 89 by 127mm and is designed
for those applications that have
traditionally fallen between safety
relays and safety PLCs.
The new controller helps reduce
wiring and installation costs, and
interfaces with programmable
controllers to help manufacturers
integrate standard and safety
systems for increased productivity.
The SmartGuard 600 safety
controller integrates 16 safetyrelated
inputs, eight safety related
outputs, four pulse test sources, a
USB port for configuration and a
DeviceNet port that supports both
standard and CIP Safety
communication into a single,
compact package. More articles from Rockwell Automation Response Centre: |
