Course Outline

Module 1

This module introduces safety associations, regulations and standards that have been created for machine safety. Hardware and system components used in a typical GuardLogix system are covered. The many types of safety devices that can be connected to a GuardLogix system including fault detection methods employed by safety PLCs are introduced. Understanding safety device connections, functionality and terminology will in turn help in configuring, programming and troubleshooting a safety PLC. The student should be able to point out the differences between a GuardLogix and a standard ControlLogix application. To conclude the module the use of safety tags and how to map standard tags into safety tags is demonstrated.

Lessons

1. Safety Standards

Module 2

This module introduces the Guard I/O hardware in more detail. Different configurations and networking options are discussed along with common safety fault detections methods. Information is provided on how to configure Guard I/O modules in RSLogix 5000 using the 1791DS-IB8XOB8 CompactBlock as an example. The student will be able to interpret the operation of programs using safety instructions and troubleshoot a GuardLogix system. Interpreting the LED indicators on GuardLogix processors and Guard I/O modules and the status tags that provide connection and individual point status conclude the module.
