GuardLogix 5580 Controller
Hardware
The GuardLogix controller consists of a primary controller (ControlLogix
558xS), which can be used alone in SIL 2 applications, and a safety partner
(ControlLogix 558SP), which is added
to create the SIL 3-capable controller.
Both the primary controller and safety partner perform power-up and runtime
functional-diagnostic tests of all safety-related components in the controller.
• Primary controller that is used without a safety partner is up to SIL 2.
• Primary controller that is used with a safety partner is up to SIL 3.
For the most current list of GuardLogix controller and Safety I/O devices
certified series and firmware revisions, see the safety certificates at

.
Firmware revisions are available from the Rockwell Automation Product
Compatibility and Download Center (PCDC) support website at
http://www.rockwellautomation.com/global/support/pcdc.page
.
You can fill slots of a SIL 2 or SIL 3 system chassis that are not used by the
GuardLogix SIL 2 or SIL 3 system with other ControlLogix (1756) modules
that are certified to the Low Voltage and EMC Directives.
