Bulletin 1756 GuardLogix® Safety Controllers have a two-processor architecture (1oo2) and are suitable for SIL 3 PLe applications. As part of the Rockwell Automation® Integrated Architecture™ system, these controllers use RSLogix™ 5000 programming software (L6 models) and the Studio 5000™ environment (L7 models). They offer common information capabilities and support CIP Safety over EtherNet/IP™ and ControlNet™ networks. These high-performance controllers provide a common control engine with a common development environment for all control disciplines. Consider these controllers for more sophisticated machines and for connectivity to business systems.

Features

• Provide twice the processing speed in the L7 models when compared to the L6 models
• Provide safety and integrated motion in the same chassis
• Offer TÜV certification for SIL 3 functional safety (controller and safety partner required)
• Support Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP™, integrated Sercos™ motion, and analog motion
• Support safety communications via EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, and DeviceNet™ networks
• Require no setup for automatically-configured safety partner
• Support removal and insertion under power (RIUP)
• Support multiple controllers in the same chassis, with each one operating independently
• Let you program using relay ladder logic, structured text, function block, and SFC languages
• Offer flexible user memory options
