Add Safety I/O Devices
When you add a safety I/O device to the system, you must define a configuration
for the device, including the following:
• IP address for EtherNet/IP networks
To set the IP address you can adjust the rotary switches on the device;
use DHCP software (available from Rockwell Automation); use the
Logix Designer application; or retrieve the default address from
nonvolatile memory.
• Safety network number (SNN); see page 108
for information on setting
the SNN
• Configuration signature; see page 112
for information on when the
configuration signature is set automatically and when you need to set it
• Reaction time limit; see page 109
for information on setting the reaction
time limit
• Safety input, output, and test parameters complete the module configuration
You can configure safety I/O devices via the Compact GuardLogix® controller
by using the Logix Designer application.
