Safety Precautions
Observe these precautions for proper use of POINT Guard I/O modules.
ATTENTION: As serious injury can occur due to loss of required safety function,
follow these safety precautions.
• Never use test outputs as safety outputs. Test outputs are not safety outputs.
• Do not use Ethernet, DeviceNet, or ControlNet™ standard I/O data or explicit
message data as safety data.
• Do not use light-emitting diode (LED) status indicators on the I/O modules for
safety operations.
• Do not connect loads beyond the rated value to the safety outputs.
• Apply properly specified voltages to the module. Applying inappropriate
voltages can cause the module to fail to perform it’s specified function, which
could lead to loss of safety functions or damage to the module.
• Wire the POINT Guard I/O modules properly following the wiring requirements
and guidelines in Wire Modules on page 57
• Set unique network node addresses before connecting devices to the network.
• Perform testing to confirm that device wiring, configuration, and operation is
correct before starting system operation.
• Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the module. This can result in loss of
safety functions.
.

Safety Application
Requirements
POINT Guard I/O modules are certified for use in safety applications up to and
including Performance Level e (PLe/Cat. 4) and Safety Integrity Level 3
(SIL CL3) in which the de-energized state is the safe state. Safety application
requirements include evaluating probability of failure rates (PFD and PFH),
system reaction time settings, and functional verification tests that fulfill SIL 3
criteria.
Creating, recording, and verifying the safety signature is also a required part of
the safety application development process. The safety controller creates the
safety signatures. The safety signature consists of an identification number, date,
and time that uniquely identifies the safety portion of a project. This number
includes all safety logic, data, and safety I/O configuration.
For safety system requirements, including information on the safety network
number (SNN), verifying the safety signature, functional verification test
intervals, system reaction time, and PFD/PFH calculations, refer to the following
publications.
For safety requirements in:See:
GuardLogix controller systemsGuardLogix 5570 Controller Systems Safety Reference
You must read, understand, and fulfill the requirements that are detailed in these
publications before operating a safety system that uses POINT Guard I/O
modules.

The following are the safe states of the POINT Guard I/O analog input module:
• Safety input data to network in single-channel configuration: 0 (OFF)
• Safety input data to network in dual-channel equivalent configuration:
– If a diagnostic fault occurs, the signal for the faulted channel is set to 0
(OFF).
– If a dual-channel discrepancy fault occurs, the dual-channel inputs
continue to report actual input signals.
Safety Inputs (1734-IB8S)
Safety inputs are used to monitor safety input devices.
Using a Test Output with a Safety Input
A test output can be used in combination with a safety input for short circuit,
cross-channel, and open-circuit fault detection. Configure the test output as a
pulse test source and associate it to a specific safety input.
The test output can also be configured as a power supply to source 24V DC
to an external device, for example, a light curtain.

Dual-channel Mode and Discrepancy Time
To support dual-channel safety devices, the consistency between signals on two
channels can be evaluated. Either equivalent or complementary can be selected.
If the length of a discrepancy between the channels exceeds the configured
discrepancy time (10…65,530 ms in increments of 10 ms), the safety input data
and the individual-safety input status turn off for both channels. In Dual-channel
Complimentary mode, the safety input data goes to off/on for input channels
n/n+1 respectively as described in Ta b l e 3
The dual-channel function is used with two consecutive inputs that are paired
together, starting at an even input number, such as inputs 0 and 1, 2 and 3.
If you are using the safety application instructions with a GuardLogix®
controller, set the inputs of the module inputs to Single (default). Do not use
the dual-channel mode of the module, as this functionality is provided by the
safety application instructions.

second channel of the pair, a discrepancy occurs. If the second channel transitions
to the appropriate state before the discrepancy time elapsing, the inputs are
considered equivalent. If the second transition does not occur before the
discrepancy time elapses, the channels will fault. In the fault state, the input and
status for both channels are set low (OFF). When configured as an equivalent
dual pair, the data bits for both channels are sent to the controller as equivalent,
both high or both low.

Dual-channels, Complementary
In Complementary mode, the inputs of a pair must be in the opposite
(complementary) state. When a transition occurs in one channel of the pair
before the transition of the second channel of the pair, a discrepancy occurs. If the
second channel transitions to the appropriate state before the discrepancy time
elapsing, the inputs are considered complementary.
If the second transition does not occur before the discrepancy time elapses, the
channels will fault. The fault state of complementary inputs is the
even-numbered input that is turned off and the odd-numbered input turned ON.
Note that if faulted, both channel status bits are set low. When configured as a
complementary dual-channel pair, the data bits for both channels are sent to the
controller in complementary, or opposite states.

Safety Input Fault Recovery
If an error is detected, the safety input data remains in the OFF state. Follow this
procedure to activate the safety input data again.
1. Remove the cause of the error.
2. Place the safety input (or safety inputs) into the safe state.
3. Allow the input-error latch time to elapse.
After these steps are completed, the I/O indicator (red) turns off.
The input data is now active.
Input Delays
On-delay—An input signal is treated as Logic 0 during the on-delay time
(0…126 ms, in increments of 6 ms) after the rising edge of the input contact.
The input turns on only if the input contact remains on after the on-delay time
has elapsed. This setting helps prevent rapid changes of the input data due to
contact bounce.

EXAMPLE
Safety Analog Inputs
(1734-IE4S)
Safety analog-input channels can be configured for current, voltage, or
tachometer inputs, and for input type: single-channel or dual-channel equivalent.
If you are using the module with a GuardLogix controller, set the inputs of the
module to Single (default). Do not use the dual-channel equivalent mode of
the modules with the GuardLogix dual channel safety application instructions,
as dual-channel functionality is provided by the GuardLogix instructions.
Input Range
You configure the module for the following voltage or current input ranges, or for
tachometer inputs.
• ±10V
• ±5V
• 0…5V
• 0…10V
• 4…20 mA
• 0…20 mA
• Tachometer (1…1000 Hz)
When ±10V and ±5V ranges are selected, you must make sure that a
broken-wire condition is not a safety hazard. A broken wire causes the analog
value to transition to 0, which is within the valid input range. Therefore, status
bits do not indicate the broken-wire condition.
Scaling
The module converts input signals to the engineering units specified when you
configure the module. You set the High Engineering value and the Low
Engineering value to which the module scales the input signal before sending the
data to the application program of the controller.
The module is configured as follows:
• Input Range = 0…10V
• Low Engineering value = 0
• High Engineering value = 10,000
If the incoming signal is 1V, the data is 1000.
If the incoming signal is 5.5V, the data is 5500.

The filter setting affects the step response of the module. See the technical
specifications for the 1734-IE4S module, that start on page 176
.
For the analog input modes, the input filter settings set the low-pass filter to filter
out noise that can be present on the signal. In Tachometer mode, the input filter
removes noise that can be present on the calculated frequency, effectively
changing how rapidly the tachometer frequency changes to provide a value with
less jitter.
Sensor Power Supply
You can configure the module to supply power to the connected sensors, or you
can supply power to the sensors from an external power supply. To comply with
UL restrictions, field power and connected devices must be powered by one,
Class 2-complaint power supply.
We recommend that you configure the module to supply power to the sensors.
This configurations lets the module detect if a sensor loses power, if the sensor is
drawing too much power, or if there is a short in the power wiring to the sensor.
At powerup or after a reconfiguration, each sensor power supply is tested by
being turned on for 500 ms.

TIP
IMPORTANT
TIP
When a channel is configured for module sensor power, a sensor power
diagnostic is executed on that channel at powerup. The diagnostic is used to
make sure that the sensors are not drawing over- or under-current and that
channel-to-channel shorts are not present.
When a sensor power over-current condition occurs, it can take as much as 15
seconds longer than the configured latch time for channel status to recover
after the over-current condition is cleared.
If you use an external power supply, you must monitor the system for the
following:
• The supply voltage must be within the operating range of the sensor.
• The current draw of the sensors must not be over- or under-current, which
could indicate a problem with the components of the sensor.
• Channel-to-channel shorts must be detected, if they occur.
Channel Offset
You can configure an offset when differences in the sensors nominal input signals
would otherwise exceed the desired discrepancy deadband. Use the Channel
Offset if you are using two sensors of different types to measure the same variable.
Sensors from two different vendors potentially give slightly differing data values
for a given temperature or pressure. Use the Channel Offset to bring the data
values back together. You can also use the Channel Offset with two identical
sensors that are physically offset from each other.
The channel offset is applied before the channel discrepancy is evaluated.
The Channel Offset is applied only during the evaluation of discrepancy between
two channels that are configured for Dual Channel and is not applied to any of the
Process Alarms. Therefore, if you are using two sensors to measure the same process
variable, and these sensors read different values, you potentially need to set the
Process Alarms to different values based on the sensor readings.
Process Alarms
Process alarms alert you when an analog input value has exceeded the configured
high or low limits for each channel. Process alarms are set at four configurable
trigger points.
• High High alarm
• High alarm
• Low alarm
• Low Low alarm

You can configure a tolerance range, called a deadband, to work with process

the process alarm.
If you are using the safety application instructions with a GuardLogix
controller, do not use the process alarm of the module. Instead, perform analog
range checking in your application logic.

Using a Single-channel Sensor
You must address the following requirements to meet SIL 3 with a single-channel
sensor.
• The module’s ±10V and ±5V analog input modes must not be used for
SIL 3 with a single-channel sensor because 0V falls within the valid input
range. Therefore, a stuck at ground fault cannot be detected.
• In a single-channel sensor system, you must use other methods to make
32Rockwell Automation Publication 1734-UM013P-EN-P - December 2018

sure a channel-to-channel short cannot occur because these faults cannot
be detected.

Dual-channel Equivalent Mode
If you are using the module with a GuardLogix controller, set the inputs of the
module to Single (default). Do not use the dual-channel mode of the module
as this functionality is provided by the GuardLogix safety application
instructions.
The 1734-IE4S module supports Dual-channel Equivalent mode. In
Dual-channel Equivalent mode, the values of both inputs of a pair must be within
a configured tolerance range (discrepancy deadband). If the difference between
the channel values exceeds the deadband for longer than the configured
discrepancy time, a discrepancy fault is declared. When a dual-channel
discrepancy fault occurs, the input status values for both channels are set low
(off ) and the actual input values are reported. The fault is cleared when the
difference between the values of the channel fall back within the discrepancy
deadband tolerance range for the discrepancy time.
Figure 14
illustrates module operation in dual-channel equivalent mode. At A,
the difference between the channel values exceeds the discrepancy deadband
tolerance range and the discrepancy timer starts. When the timer expires at B, a
dual-channel discrepancy fault occurs and the inputs status bits are set low. At C,
the values fall back within the discrepancy deadband and the discrepancy timer
starts again. When the timer expires at D, and the values are still within the
discrepancy deadband, the fault is cleared. At E, the difference between the
channels exceeds the discrepancy deadband and the discrepancy timer starts. A
discrepancy fault occurs again at F, when the timer expires and the difference
between the channel values remains greater than the discrepancy deadband.

Low pulses occur simultaneously, causing a fault.

Tachometer Mode
In Tachometer mode, the module measures digital pulses between 0 and 24V
DC and converts them into a frequency or pulses per second. Therefore, you can
use 24V DC proximity sensors or 5V DC encoders, for example. The
Tachometer function does not sense direction, so using a differential encoder
does not yield direction data. Tachometer mode could be used, for example, to
measure rotational speed of an axis that is connected to a gear.
Tachometer mode can operate as SIL 2 single-channel. SIL 3 is achievable by
using two sensors, the dual-low detection parameter, and user program logic.
Safety reaction time is dependent on the signal frequency.
When using two sensors in a dual-channel configuration, position the sensors
to make sure that the low pulses occur at different times. If you have
configured the module for dual low detection and both sensors are low
simultaneously, a fault is declared.
Figure 15 - Sensor Pulses in Dual-channel Configuration
Signal Measurement
The edge-to-edge time of the pulse determines the frequency of the signal in
pulses per second. The frequency range is 1 Hz…1 kHz.
In Tachometer mode, you define how the signal is measured, either on the falling
(non-inverted) or rising (inverted) edge. For NPN-style sensors (sensor sinks),
use falling edge. For PNP-style sensors (sensor sources), use rising edge.
34Rockwell Automation Publication 1734-UM013P-EN-P - December 2018
Depending on your application, you need to install an appropriately sized pull-up
resistor for falling-edge signal measurements or a pull-down resistor for
rising-edge signal measurements.

Off and On Signal Levels
Safety Inputs, Safety Outputs and Safety DataChapter 2
You configure the Off and On levels, in 1V increments, for the signal. When
selecting these levels, assume a tolerance of at least ±0.5V. For example, if you set
the On Level to 10V, you can expect the module to recognize a signal between
9.5 and 10.5V as On. While the accuracy of the module when measuring the
analog signal is good, Tachometer mode emphasizes a wider voltage range and
speed to be able to measure pulse widths accurately.
Also consider the variance of the voltage output from your sensor when making
the On and Off Level settings. If possible, we recommend selecting On Levels
that are 2V below and Off Levels that are 2V above the actual thresholds of the
expected output voltage level of your device.
Determining Frequency in Pulses per Second
The edge-to-edge time of either the falling or rising edge of the pulse determines
the frequency in pulses per second.
One pulse, by itself, does not generate a non-zero frequency. To report a
frequency of 1 Hz, two falling or rising edge pulses must be detected within 1
second. The module reports 0 Hz until 1 Hz is detected. For example, if a falling
or rising edge is not detected for 1.02 seconds after the previous edge, the module
reports 0 Hz.

Overfrequency Bit Operation
When the frequency exceeds 1 kHz, the module reports a data value of 1 kHz,
sets the Overfrequency status bit to 0, and latches it. While the Overfrequency
bit is set to 0, you must use an alternate method to monitor the frequency of the
system because the value reported by the module is latched at 1 kHz. Once you
have verified that the frequency is lower than 1 kHz, you can reset the
Overfrequency condition by setting the Reset Tach bit, which lets the module
begin measuring the frequency of field pulses again.
If you set the Reset Tach bit while the frequency is still above 1 kHz, the
Tachometer Overfrequency bit transitions to 1 (within range) momentarily.
However, as soon as the module begins to measure pulses, it detects another
overfrequency condition and immediately set the Tachometer Overfrequency bit
to 0 again. The Reset Tach bit is edge-sensitive.

another method to verify that the actual frequency is lower than 1 kHz.

continues to report a data value of 1 kHz. Between B and C, you must monitor

Muting Lamp Operation
(1734-IB8S)
Beginning with Firmware Revision 1.002, the operation of the muting status bits
for the test outputs T1 and T3 has changed. Test outputs T1 and T3 are
controlled by your PLC processor program to illuminate a muting lamp. Muting
lamp status is monitored with a test that runs periodically during every test
interval to detect a burned-out lamp. The test runs repeatedly when the test
output is commanded on. Figure 21 explains how muting lamp operation, status,
and fault detection are monitored.
The lamp test interval is 3 seconds. Two consecutive failed lamp tests are
required to declare a burned-out lamp condition. The lamp test does not
always run immediately after the test output is energized. It starts at the next
3-second interval. To allow time for two consecutive test intervals, program a
minimum Test Output On Time of 6 seconds.
Figure 21 - Muting Lamp Timing Diagram
Ta b l e 4 shows the expected behavior of the muting status for test outputs T1 and
T3. Keep these points in mind as well:
• When power is applied to the 1734-IB8S module, and T1 or T3 remains
commanded off, the muting status defaults to on.
40Rockwell Automation Publication 1734-UM013P-EN-P - December 2018
Safety Inputs, Safety Outputs and Safety DataChapter 2
IMPORTANT
This bit operation is designed to help prevent erroneous muting
instruction faults from the GuardLogix controller. This bit status is not
always the true indication of a burned-out lamp.
Before checking the state of the corresponding muting status, be sure that the
test output is commanded on. Once the test output is commanded on, a
maximum time of 6 seconds is required for the module to detect a burned-out
lamp.
• If a muting lamp circuit is open when power is applied to the module, the
condition is detected when the test output is commanded on.
• When a lamp burns out and is replaced, the fault (muting status bit)
returns to the normal condition, independent of the state of the test
output.

Digital I/O Status Data
The following data is monitored:
• Individual Point Input Status
• Combined Input Status
• Individual Point Output Status
• Combined Output Status
• Individual Test Output Status
• Individual Output Monitor (actual ON/OFF state of the outputs)
Individual Point status indicates whether each safety input, safety output, or test
output is normal (normal: ON, faulted: OFF). For fatal errors, communication
connections can be broken, so the status data cannot be read. Status bits are OFF
in the controller data table when the connection is lost.
Combined status is provided by an AND of the status of all safety inputs or all
safety outputs. When all inputs or outputs are normal, the respective combined
status is ON. When one or more of them has an error, the respective combined
status is OFF. This status is known as the combined safety input status or
combined safety output status.
Analog I/O Status Data
Individual input status indicates whether each analog input point is normal
(ON) or faulted (OFF). In addition, the following diagnostic data is monitored:
In SIL 2 or SIL 3 operation, a single-channel discrepancy error occurs
when both measurements (internal to the module) of the same input signal
are not within tolerance. If a single-channel discrepancy occurs, indicating
a problem with the module, input status is set to zero and a zero input
value is reported for that channel.

To choose which types of power supplies meet your requirements, you must
consider the power consumption requirements for the 5V and 24V bus when
designing a POINTBus backplane.
Choose from these power supplies for the POINTBus backplane and field

• Use the 1734-FPD field power distributor to provide an additional 10 A of
24V DC field power, and to pass through all POINT I/O backplane
signals including the 5V bus supplied to the left, without providing
additional POINTBus backplane power. This action lets you isolate field
power segments.
• Use the 1734-EPAC expansion power supply (for standard I/O modules)
to provide an additional 10 A of 120/240V AC field power and provide an
additional 1.3 A of 5V current to the I/O modules to the right of the

Power Supply Examples
Use these valid power-supply example configurations to help you understand
various combinations of power supplies that can fit your system:
• Example 1: Isolating Field Power Segments on page 45
• Example 2: POINT Guard I/O Used with AC I/O Modules on page 46
These examples are for illustrative purposes only, to help you understand various
power sourcing concepts.
• You must define the requirements for segmenting field and bus power in
your application.
• POINT Guard I/O does not require separate field-bus power usage, that is,
separate power supplies for the 1734-IB8S, 1734-OB8S, 1734-OBV2S, or
1734-IE4S modules. This step is optional.
• POINT Guard I/O does not require separate POINTBus (communication)
power-supply usage, which separates it from any other POINT I/O
modules, except when additional POINTBus power is required.
• Do not apply AC voltage to POINT Guard I/O modules.
Example 1: Isolating Field Power Segments
This power supply example uses a 1734-EP24DC expansion power supply and
1734-FPD field power distributor to illustrate mixing standard POINT I/O and
safety POINT Guard I/O modules. The example illustrates the mixing standard
while creating separate groups for input and output modules, along with digital
and analog modules.

4. Lift the mounting base off the DIN rail.
Follow these guidelines when wiring the modules.
• Do not route communication, input, or output wiring with conduit that
contains high voltage. See the Industrial Automation Wiring and
Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1
• Wire correctly after confirming the signal names of all terminals.
• Use shielded cable for analog and tachometer inputs.
• When using the sensor power supply on the 1734-IE4S module, do not
connect an external power supply to the sensor.
• If you use the 1734-IE4S sensor power supply of the module to power your
input devices, you are responsible for verifying that your application
operates properly with the diagnostic features of this output.
• Tighten screws for communication and I/O connectors correctly.
• When using analog inputs, wire only to voltage or only to current inputs,
not both. If you mix input types, it can induce noise on the input
measurements.

Chapter 4Install the Module
ATT EN TI ON : Wire the POINT Guard I/O modules properly so that 24V DC line
does not touch the safety outputs accidentally or unintentionally.
Do not connect loads beyond the rated value to safety outputs.
Wire conductors correctly and verify operation of the module before placing the
system into operation. Incorrect wiring can lead to loss of safety function.
Do not apply DC voltages that exceed the rated voltages to the module.
Do not connect a power source to the sensor power supply in the 1734-IE4S
module or you could blow an internal fuse. When an internal fuse is blown, the
module is inoperative.
Disconnect the module from the power supply before wiring. If wiring is performed
while power is supplied, devices that are connected to the module can operate
unexpectedly.
WARNING: If you connect or disconnect wiring while the field-side power is
on, an electric arc can occur. This arc could cause an explosion in hazardous
location installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is
nonhazardous before proceeding.
This equipment must be used within its specified ratings that Rockwell
Automation has defined.
ATTENTION: This product is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis ground.
Use zinc plated chromate-passivated steel DIN rail to assure proper grounding.
The use of other DIN rail materials (for example, aluminum or plastic) that can
corrode, oxidize, or are poor conductors, can result in improper or intermittent
grounding. Secure DIN rail to mounting surface approximately every 200 mm
(7.8 in.) and use end-anchors appropriately. Be sure to ground the DIN rail
properly. Refer to Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines,

Safety Analog Input Wiring
The following sections contain important guidelines for wiring safety analog
inputs and wiring examples for the 1734-IE4S module.
Guidelines for Wiring Safety Analog Inputs
Follow these guidelines when wiring your safety analog inputs.
For eight terminal connections, either the 1734-TOP or 1734-TB terminal base
can be used. For all 12 terminal connections, only the 1734-TOP3 base can be
used. When using a 1734-TOP3 base, both of the COM terminals and both of
the Sensor Power terminals for each channel are internally connected. The FE
terminal connection that is shown on the diagrams represents a grounding lug on
the panel or terminal connection to the DIN rail.
If the sensor has a digital output for use with Tachometer mode, it must be either
a push-pull type output or have appropriate pull-up or pull-down resistors for
NPN or PNP sensors. The analog input module does not provide the low
impedance of these pull-up or pull-down resistors.
See Figure 47
and Figure 48 on page 74 for examples.
You must verify the behavior of your 3-wire sensor to make sure that if it loses
its ground connection, the signal is 0 (safe state) at the module input when the
fault occurs.
To obtain SIL 3, Cat. 3 or Cat.4, you must make sure that the analog input
signals cannot short together or that the two sensors are installed to provide
signals that are offset from one another. When the module is configured as the
source for sensor power, a short-circuit is detected at powerup (Cat. 2).
However, when an external power supply is used, another means must detect
this fault.

2. Assign the Point Operation Type.
ChooseDescription
SingleInputs are treated as single channels.
Dual-channel safety inputs can be configured as two individual single channels.
This configuration does not affect pulse tests because it is handled on an
individual channel basis.
IMPORTANT: Use single-channel mode when you intend to use the GuardLogix
safety application instructions.
EquivalentInputs are treated as a dual-channel pair. The channels must match within the
discrepancy time or an error is generated.
ComplementaryInputs are treated as a dual-channel pair. They must be in opposite states within
the discrepancy time or an error is generated.
When you choose Equivalent or Complementary, you must also assign a
Discrepancy Time.
A discrepancy time setting of 0 ms means that the channels in a dual
configuration can be discrepant for an infinite amount of time without a
fault being declared.
For a discrepancy time setting of 0 ms, the evaluated status of the inputs
still goes to the safe state due to a ‘cycle inputs’ required condition.
However, with a 0 ms discrepancy time setting, a fault is not declared.
A ‘cycle inputs’ required condition occurs when one input terminal goes
from its normal Active->Inactive->Active state while the other input
terminal remains in its normal Active state. Even though no fault is
declared, the inputs must be cycled through the safe state before the
evaluated status of the inputs can return to the Active state. When in a
‘cycle inputs’ required condition, the logical state does not necessarily
match the voltage at the terminals.
Configuring discrepancy time on safety I/O modules masks input
discrepancies that the controller safety instructions detect. The
controller reads status to obtain this fault information.

Configure the Safety Analog Input Channel Operation
To configure the safety analog input channels, follow this procedure.
1. From the Module Properties dialog box, click the Safety Input
Configuration tab.
2. Assign the Operation Type.
ChooseDescription
SingleInputs are treated as single channels. Dual-channel safety inputs can be configured as two

IMPORTANT: Use single-channel mode when you intend to use the GuardLogix safety
application instructions.
discrepancy time or an error is generated.
If you are using a Dual-channel Analog (DCA) safety instruction in
your application program, you must configure the 1734-IE4S module
for single-channel operation. Analog input pairs are then evaluated
as pairs and compared to each other in the application logic.
3. If you chose Equivalent, you must also assign a Discrepancy Time, from
0…65,530 ms in 10 ms increments.
This measurement is the amount of time the two channels can differ from
each other (larger than the deadband value) before a discrepancy error is
declared. A discrepancy time setting of 0 ms means that the channels in a
dual configuration can be discrepant for an infinite amount of time
without a fault being declared. This setting would effectively eliminate the
usefulness of dual channel mode.
4. Configure a deadband for the paired safety analog inputs.
The deadband can be any value from 0…32767 (engineering units) in
increments of 1. When the paired input values exceed the deadband
tolerance for longer than the Discrepancy Time, a discrepancy fault
occurs.
Configure a deadband value for applications that use two sensors to
measure the same variable; otherwise, spurious trips can occur.
5. If desired, configure a Channel Offset for the paired safety analog inputs.

4. Configure an input filter.
A single-pole, anti-aliasing filter of 10 Hz is followed by a four-pole digital
filter. Choose from the following available corner frequencies.
• 1 Hz (recommended for Tachometer mode)
• 5 Hz
• 10 Hz
• 50 Hz
For more information on the filter frequencies and step response, see the
technical specifications for the 1734-IE4S module on page 176
or Digital
Input Filter on page 30.
5. Assign High and Low Engineering scaling values for the inputs, if desired.
The valid range for both the High and Low Engineering settings is
-30000…30000, in increments of 1. Scaling lets the module report in
engineering units such as degrees, PSI, CFM, and percent, rather than in
raw counts.
If the channel operation is configured as dual channel equivalent, when
you click Apply, channel 1 is set to the same value as channel 0 and channel
3 is set to the same value as channel 2 if the channel operation is configured
as dual channel equivalent.
6. To indicate how each sensor is powered, set the Sensor Power Supply value
to External or Module.
Set this value to Module to supply power to the sensors connected to
the POINT Guard Analog Input module. This value allows the module
to detect a loss of sensor power.
Configure Safety Analog Input Alarms (Optional)
If you are using a Dual-channel Analog (DCA) safety instruction in your
application program, we recommend that you do not configure these values
on the module. Instead, to facilitate troubleshooting, use the application
program to check for high and low alarm values via the Dual-Channel Analog
Input instruction or other data comparison instructions.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1734-UM013P-EN-P - December 201899
Chapter 5Configure the Module in a GuardLogix Controller System
To configure alarms for each of the safety analog input channels, follow these
steps.
1. From the Module Properties dialog box, click the Alarm tab.
2. To configure each channel, click 0, 1, 2, or 3, as appropriate.
3. To enable the alarm, check the boxes:
• Enable High High - Low Low Alarms
• Enable High - Low Alarms
4. Type the alarm values from -32768…32767 in the appropriate fields,
following these guidelines:
• The High High alarm value must be greater than or equal to the High
alarm value.
• The High alarm value must be greater that the Low alarm value.
• The Low Low alarm value must be less than or equal to the Low alarm
value.
• These values are based on the engineering units that are configured on
page 99
.
5. Configure a deadband value for the High High - Low Low alarms and
High - Low alarms, if desired.
The valid range is 0…32767. The deadband lets the alarm status bit remain
set, despite the alarm condition disappearing, as long as the input data
remains within the deadband of the alarm. These values are based on the
Engineering units that are configured on page 99
.
