POINT Guard I/O Overview
Use the POINT Guard I/O™ safety modules in the POINT I/O™ platform to
distribute safety I/O on a safety-control network that meets the requirements up
to and including SIL CL3, and PLe, Cat. 4 as defined in IEC 61508, IEC 61511,
IEC 62061, and ISO 13849-1. Guard I/O modules can be used with
GuardLogix® controllers, Compact GuardLogix controllers, and SmartGuard™
Controllers.
You can configure the modules for use on DeviceNet networks by using the
network configuration tool, RSNetWorx™ for DeviceNet software. For Ethernet
networks, use the GuardLogix programming tool, the Logix Designer
application.
