The ControlLogix® controller provides a scalable controller solution that is capable of addressing a large amount of I/O points. The ControlLogix controller can be placed into any slot of a ControlLogix I/O chassis and multiple controllers can be installed in the same chassis. ControlLogix controllers can monitor and control I/O across the ControlLogix backplane, as well as over network links. To provide communication for a ControlLogix controller, install the appropriate communication interface module into the chassis.

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. Confi guration 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.

When it comes to flexibility and power, the Allen-Bradley® SLCTM 500 family from Rockwell Automation® is a proven solution of small logic controllers. Designed with smaller to mid-sized automation applications in mind, the SLC 500 provides powerful, reliable performance without requiring customers to pay for the unused capacity and features of a full-size programmable logic controller. The SLC 500 was one of the first full-featured, small controllers on the market, and it remains the gold standard in small logic controllers more than a decade after its introduction. It’s a rugged chassisbased platform, which means you can configure exactly the stand-alone or distributed system you need for dependable control of your application. In fact, the SLC 500 provides cost-efficient, reliable control in hundreds of thousands of applications around the world — everything from amusement park rides and microbreweries to pharmaceutical and food processes.

What’s more, we’re constantly looking toward the future of automation, evolving and enhancing the SLC 500 system to stay ahead of our customers’ ever-changing demands. And we offer unmatched support, having trained more than 100,000 satisfied customers in the United States alone. No wonder we have a worldwide installed base of 1.6 million — and growing
