Guardlink 432ES-IG3
Summary
TLDRRockwell's Guard Link has been updated to enhance safety diagnostics with its compatibility with Zip Safety and Ethernet/IP. The new 432 ES IG3 Guard Link Ethernet block allows for three independent channels, each as a separate zone, simplifying wiring and diagnostics for up to 32 devices per channel. It supports a range of safety devices and integrates with the PanelView 5000 for advanced diagnostic reporting. To implement this in your safety projects, ensure you have an L3 or L8 GuardLogix PLC and version 34.010659. For a seamless system layout, utilize Rockwell's pre-engineered safety functions and Integrated Architecture Builder. Contact your local ESN account manager for more details.

Outlines
đĄïž Advanced Safety Diagnostics with Guard Link Update
The script introduces an update to the Guard Link system from Rockwell Automation, which simplifies the process of obtaining advanced diagnostics from safety devices when they are wired in series. The update integrates Guard Link with Zip Safety and introduces several new features. These include the ability to use devices over Ethernet/IP, three independent channels with each channel as its own safety zone, and compatibility with the 432 ES IG3 Guard Link Ethernet block. The system requires an L3 or L8 GuardLogix PLC and version 34.010659 for time-stamping of events. The update retains the original Guard Link benefits such as ease of wiring, support for up to 32 devices per channel, and efficient daisy chain implementation. It also supports a wide range of safety devices like door switches, interlocks, E-stops, and light curtains. For users of PanelView 5000, advanced diagnostic reporting is available without additional programming. The script also mentions the utility of Rockwell's pre-engineered safety functions and Integrated Architecture Builder for system layout and generating Bill of Materials. Interested parties are encouraged to contact their local ESN account manager or automation specialist for more information.
