It occupies the left-most slot of the GuardPLC 2000 chassis. The power supply comes with a lithium battery, which has a four-year life span, that is used for back-up. Four LEDs indicate the power supply, battery voltage, and faults. Safety PLCs GuardPLC Safety Control Systems Overview Safety-related input modules are automatically subjected to a highgrade, cyclical self-test in both the GuardPLC 1200 and GuardPLC 2000 systems during operation. These test routines are TÜV approved and help ensure the safe function of the respective module. When an error is detected, the application is provided with an “0” signal, and a detailed error message is generated optionally. If there are minor failures in the module (no effect on the safety function), no user diagnostic information is generated. • The GuardPLC 2000 digital I/O module has 24 inputs and 16 outputs for signals, and the inputs and outputs are electrically isolated in groups of eight. The GuardPLC 1200 digital I/O module has 20 inputs and 8 outputs. In case of module error, the outputs are switched to the de-energized state. • The analog output module, which is available in the GuardPLC 2000 system only, the eight channels on the analog input module can be used as eight single-ended or four differential analog inputs for 0 to 20 mA. No mixing is allowed. The incoming signals are converted into an integer value with a 12-bit resolution. This value then can be used in the user program. In case of module error, the logic outputs of the modules are switched to the de-energized state. • The analog output module, which is available in the GuardPLC 2000 system only, has eight analog outputs with a 12-bit resolution. They are electrically isolated in groups of two outputs with a common ground. The output ranges of the module can be switched to 0 to 21 mA, 0 to 10.25V DC or -10.25 to +10.25V DC. For each channel, the module has a switch placed on the printed circuit board to switch the different output ranges. In case of module error, the outputs are switched to the deenergized state. • The counter module has two operating modes: counter mode and decoder mode. The module has 24-bit counters with two outputs each. The counters can operate in both directions (up and down) and have a separate reset input. The input signals of 5V can be in a frequency range of 0 to 1 MHz in a GuardPLC 2000 system. Use a PC to configure the input voltage, which can be 5V or in a range of 10 to 26.4V. In case of module error, the outputs are switched to the de-energized state. The counter can count pulses with direction and reset inputs up to 1 MHz in the GuardPLC 2000 system and up to 100 KHz in the GuardPLC 1200 system. The counter module can also be used as an 8-bit gray code encoder in the GuardPLC 2000 system or a 6-bit gray code encoder in the GuardPLC 1200 system.

Like the controllers, programming software must also be certified to support Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL 3) applications and is a critical component of the total safety system. The programming and configuration tool for GuardPLC 2000 and GuardPLC 1200 safety controls is RSLogix Guard software, designed to operate with Microsoft Windows NT v4.0 or Windows 2000 operating system. Since the RSLogix Guard software is a function block-based programming tool, there is no need for programmers to learn a cryptic programming language. Using such pre-defined elements as AND and OR gates, numerical functions, counters, and timers, programmers select and “drag” the appropriate functions onto their workstation screen. These functions, like the controllers, have been certified for use in applications up to SIL 3. Subsequent programming is as easy as drawing lines to “wire” inputs and outputs to the logical elements and making connections to hardware by way of user-defined variables or tags. The RSLogix Guard software is also used for system diagnosis and debugging. It can provide the status of controller CPU and I/O and can be used to obtain information about the application program. 8-10 Features • Save programming and configuration time using software that’s already certified for use in applications up to SIL 3 • Program your safety control system using pre-defined graphical elements and a “drag and drop” palette • Tag-based system System Requirements To install RSLogix Guard Programming Software on a personal computer, you need to meet the following minimum requirements.
