The perfect solution for your mid-range applications, our small controllers offer the features and flexibility you need without the overhead of larger systems. Choose from standard and safety-certified controllers in chassis-based, packaged and modular designs. Typical applications include complex machine control, batch processing and building automation.
Compact GuardLogix Safety Controllers
Our Bulletin 1768 Compact GuardLogix® Safety
Controllers is a CompactLogix™ controller that also provides safety
control. As part of the Logix family, Compact GuardLogix controllers use a
common control engine with a common development environment to provide high
performance multi-discipline control for SIL 3 safety applications.
GuardLogix Safety PACs offer integrated safety, discrete, motion, drive and
process control, as well as seamless connectivity to plant-wide information
systems, all in the same controller. Use EtherNet/IP™ or ControlNet™
networks for safety interlocking between GuardLogix controllers. Connect
field devices over EtherNet/IP or DeviceNet™ networks.
Features
High functionality in an economical platform
Provides system-wide integration of standard and safety control
Compatible with ArmorBlock® Guard I/O" or CompactBlock"
Guard I/O modules for field device connectivity on EtherNet/IP" or
DeviceNet" networks
Supports safety interlocking between GuardLogix® controllers over
EtherNet/IP or ControlNet" networks
Integrated safety and motion capabilities in a single controller
Our CompactLogix™ and Compact GuardLogix®
controllers use a common control engine with a common development
environment to provide mid-range application control in an easy-to-use
environment. Tight integration between the programming software, controller
and I/O modules reduces development time and cost at commissioning and
during normal operation. This commonality provides cost-effective
integration of a machine or safety application into a plant-wide control
system because it integrates safety, motion, discrete and drive capabilities
in a single controller.
Features
High functionality in an economical platform
DIN rail or panel mount for flexible installation
Packaged controllers offer embedded I/O to lower costs and simplify
configuration
Analog, digital and specialty modules cover a wide range of
applications
Advanced system connectivity to EtherNet/IP" networks for
CompactLogix" 5370 platforms
Full support for standard EtherNet/IP networks and limited support
for ControlNet" and DeviceNet" networks across all
CompactLogix platforms
Integrated safety and motion capabilities in a single controller
