Chapter 1 POINT Guard I/O Overview
Distributed I/O communication for safety I/O data is performed through safety
connections supporting CIP Safety over an EtherNet/IP or DeviceNet network.
Data processing is performed in the safety controller. The status and fault
diagnostics of POINT Guard I/O modules are monitored by a controller.
In addition to I/O state data, the modules include status data for monitoring I/O
faults within each circuit.
The configuration information of the modules can be protected by a password.
1734-IB8S Digital Input Module Features
Safety digital inputs
Safety devices, such as emergency stop push buttons, gate switches, and
safety light curtains, can be connected.
Dual-channel mode evaluates consistency between two input signals
(channels), which allows use of the module for safety Category 3 and 4
and in applications rated up to and including Performance Level e/
SIL CL3.
Single-channel mode evaluates one input signal (channel), which allows
use of the module for safety Category 2 and in applications rated up to
and including Performance Level d/SIL CL 2.
You can configure a discrepancy time to control how long two channels
are allowed to be discrepant before a fault is declared.
An external wiring short-circuit check is possible when inputs are wired
in combination with test outputs. The module must be wired in
combination with test outputs when this function is used.
Independently adjustable on and off delays are available per channel.
Test outputs (digital input modules only)
Separate test outputs are provided for short-circuit detection of a safety
input (or inputs).
Power (24V) can be supplied to devices, such as safety sensors.
Test outputs can be configured as standard outputs.
Specific test outputs can be used for broken-wire detection of a muting
lamp.
1734-OB8S Safety Digital Output Module Features
Solid-state outputs
Dual-channel mode provides redundant control by using two output
signals (channels), which allows use of the module for safety Category 3
and 4, and applications rated up to and including Performance Level e/
SIL CL3.
Safety outputs can be pulse-tested to detect field wiring short circuits to
24V DC.
