SmartGuard™ 600 Safety Controller

The SmartGuard 600 safety controller
is a programmable safety controller
designed for safety applications that
require some complex logic allowing
for more advanced safety functionality.
It features 16 safety-rated inputs,
8 safety-rated outputs, 4 pulse test
sources and an optional EtherNet/IP™
port. To support both standard CIP and
CIP safety, a DeviceNet™ connection
is also included. Configuration and
programming is accomplished on
EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, or through the
built-in USB port.
Since the SmartGuard 600
safety controller is a safety master
on DeviceNet, you can use
Rockwell Automation® Guard I/O™
modules to expand the number of
safety devices the SmartGuard 600
can control. It can also perform
safety interlocking between a
GuardLogix® or other SmartGuard
safety controllers. With your choice
of EtherNet/IP or DeviceNet, other
devices such as standard PLCs
and HMIs can read data out of the
SmartGuard 600 safety controller for
system level interlocking, diagnostics
and troubleshooting.
Programming is done using
RSNetWorx™ for DeviceNet™. Once
inside RSNetWorx, you can launch
an editor that will allow you to write
function block programs for the
SmartGuard 600 safety controller. No
additional programming software is
needed! With ten safety application
instructions plus another dozen
logic and timing instructions, you
can write powerful, yet simple safety
control programs.
