GuardLogix® Controllers Logic Integration
Introduction
In this chapter, you configure your Guard I/O™ modules using pre-defined configurations, and assemble your safety and
faceplate logic by importing pre-configured safety device logic rungs for your GuardLogix Systems.
Before You Begin
Complete your risk assessment and functional specification. Create a bill of materials based on your application needs.
Complete your Safety Zone Configuration and Safety Module Configuration worksheets as described in Chapter
2.
Load RSLogix 5000® or Studio 5000® and FactoryTalk® View Machine Edition software on your personal computer or
workstation.
We assume you are starting with an existing control application that contains a configured safety controller and
communication module to interface with your Guard I/O modules.

TIP The steps in this chapter show a 1756 GuardLogix controller and the 1756 backplane software configuration screens. The
1768 Compact GuardLogix controller configuration is nearly identical, except for the controller and backplane naming. The
steps in this chapter also show RSLogix 5000 screen captures, although Studio 5000 configuration screens are very similar.
