Safety Application Requirements
The Compact GuardLogix controller system is certified for use in safety
applications up to and including Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3 and Performance
Level (e) 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/PLe criteria.
For SIL 3 and PLe safety system requirements, including functional validation
test intervals, system reaction time, and PFD/PFH calculations, refer to the
GuardLogix Controller Systems Safety Reference Manual, publication
1756-RM093
operating a Compact GuardLogix SIL 3, PLe safety system.
Compact GuardLogix-based SIL 3/PLe safety applications require the use of at
least one safety network number (SNN) and a safety task signature. Both affect
controller and I/O configuration and network communication.
Refer to the GuardLogix Controller Systems Safety Reference Manual,
publication 1756-RM093
. You must read, understand, and fulfill these requirements prior to
, for details.
Safety Network Number
The safety network number (SNN) must be a unique number that identifies
safety subnets. Each safety subnet that the controller uses for safety
communication must have a unique SNN. Each CIP Safety device must also be
configured with the safety subnet’s SNN. The SNN can be assigned
automatically or manually.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1768-UM002C-EN-P - April 2012 11
Chapter 1 System Overview
For information on assigning the SNN, see Managing the Safety Network
Number (SNN) on page 39.
Safety Task Signature
The safety task signature consists of an ID number, date, and time that uniquely
identifies the safety portion of a project. This includes safety logic, data, and
configuration. The Compact GuardLogix system uses the safety task signature to
determine the project’s integrity and to let you verify that the correct project is
downloaded to the target controller. Creating, recording, and verifying the safety
task signature is a mandatory part of the safety-application development process.
Distinguishing Between Standard and Safety Components

certificate for the Programmable Control – CompactLogix Product Family and
determine which modules are certified.
You must create and document a clear, logical, and visible distinction between the
safety and standard portions of the application. To aid in creating this distinction,
RSLogix 5000 programming software features safety identification icons to
identify the safety task, safety programs, safety routines, and safety components.
In addition, the RSLogix 5000 software uses a safety class attribute that is visible
whenever safety task, safety programs, safety routine, safety tag, or safety
Add-On Instruction properties are displayed.
The controller does not allow writes to safety tag data from external HMI devices
or via message instructions from peer controllers. RSLogix 5000 software can
write safety tags when the Compact GuardLogix controller is safety-unlocked,
does not have a safety task signature, and is operating without safety faults.

provides information on using 1768 CompactLogix controllers in standard
(non-safety) applications.
HMI Devices
HMI devices can be used with Compact GuardLogix controllers. HMI devices
can access standard tags just as with a standard controller. However, HMI devices
cannot write to safety tags; safety tags are read-only for HMI devices.

CompactLogix System Distance Ratings
Because the 1768 CompactLogix power supply works with the controller to
power a 1768 system, the distance rating in a 1768 CompactLogix system
differs from that in a 1769 CompactLogix system.
In the 1768 system, the distance rating is the distance between 1769 I/O
modules and the controller. In the 1769 system, the distance rating is the
distance between 1769 I/O modules and the power supply.
Follow these requirements to determine proper placement of your 1768
controller, power supply, 1768 I/O modules, and 1769 I/O modules:
• Place the 1768-L4xx controller so that it is the last module (furthest away
from the power supply) in the 1768 backplane.
• The 1768 CompactLogix power supply distributes power from the right
side of the supply and must be the leftmost module in the system.
• The local bank is powered by a 1768 power supply.
• Up to eight 1769 I/O modules can reside in the local bank.
• 1768 slots are numbered right to left, starting with the controller as slot 0.
• Up to two remote banks of 1769 I/O modules may be connected by using
1769-CRLx extension cables.
• Remote banks are powered by a standard 1769 power supply.
• Each I/O bank must have its own 1769 power supply.
• 1769 slots are numbered from left to right, starting with the controller as
slot 0.

Chapter 2 Install the Controller
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
• Up to eight 1769 Compact I/O modules can reside on each side of a 1769
power supply in a remote bank. Consult the module’s specifications for its
distance rating.
1769 power supplies must be separated from the 1768 series
processor by a bus extension cable. Never put a 1769 power supply in
the 1768 backplane or the controller will generate a major fault that
cannot be cleared until you remove the 1769 power supply.
• The type of controller determines the maximum number of 1768 modules
that can reside in the local bank and the maximum number of 1769 I/O
modules that can reside in one local and up to two remote banks.

Chapter 2 Install the Controller
IMPORTANT
TIP
Update the Controller
The controllers ship without firmware. Controller firmware is packaged with
RSLogix 5000 programming software. In addition, controller firmware is also
available for download from the Rockwell Automation Technical Support
website at: http://www.rockwellautomation.com/support/
.
When installing or updating controller firmware, do not interrupt the update
process in any way. Interrupting the firmware update may result in an
inoperable controller. Inoperable controllers must be returned to Rockwell
Automation.
To install firmware, you can use any of the following.
Method Page
ControlFlash, version 8 or later, software that ships with RSLogix 5000 software 28
AutoFlash software that runs within RSLogix 5000 software 29
A 1784-CF64 or 1784-CF128 CompactFlash card with valid firmware already loaded 29
Updating your controller firmware via ControlFlash or AutoFlash software
requires either a serial or other network connection to the controller.
Updating via an Ethernet connection is faster, but you must first install a 1768ENBT Ethernet module to connect to the controller via the Ethernet network.
For information on installing, configuring, and operating a 1768-ENBT module,
refer to the EtherNet/IP Modules in Logix5000 Control Systems User Manual,
publication ENET-UM001
.
Install Firmware via ControlFlash Software
1. Make sure the network is connected.
2. Start ControlFlash software.
3. When the Welcome dialog box appears, click Next.
4. Select the catalog number of the controller and click Next.
5. Expand the network until you see the controller.
If the required network is not shown, first configure a driver for that
network in RSLinx software.
6. Select the controller and click OK.
7. Select the desired revision level and click Next.
8. To start the update, click Finish and then Yes.
9. The OK status indicator flashes red to show that the update is in progress.
The status box indicates when the update is complete and the OK status
indicator is solid green.
10. Click OK.
11. Click Cancel and then Yes to close ControlFlash software.

Install Firmware via a CompactFlash Card
Follow these steps to use RSLogix 5000 software to store the controller program
and firmware of an already-configured controller to the CompactFlash card. The
firmware is automatically stored on your CompactFlash card when you store the
program.
1. With the CompactFlash card installed on the configured controller, on the
Controller Properties dialog box, click the Nonvolatile Memory tab.
2. Click Load Image On Powerup to save to the card.
3. Remove the card and insert it into the controller onto which you want to
load the firmware and user program.
4. Start the new controller and the image stored on the CompactFlash card
loads.
