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 201211
Chapter 1System 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.

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.

(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 2Install 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.

The Safety Network
The CIP Safety protocol is an end-node to end-node safety protocol that allows
routing of CIP Safety messages to and from CIP Safety devices through bridges,
switches, and routers.
To maintain high integrity when routing through standard bridges, switches, or
routers, each end node within a routable CIP Safety Control System must have a
unique reference. This unique reference is a combination of a safety network
number (SNN) and the node address of the network device.
Managing the Safety Network Number (SNN)
The SNN assigned to safety devices on a network segment must be unique. You
must be sure that a unique SNN is assigned to each CIP Safety network that
contains safety devices.
Multiple safety network numbers can be assigned to a CIP Safety subnet or
a ControlBus chassis that contains more than one safety device. However,
for simplicity, we recommend that each CIP Safety subnet have
one, and only one, unique SNN.
The SNN can be software-assigned (time-based) or user-assigned (manual).
These two formats of the SNN are described in the following sections.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1768-UM002C-EN-P - April 201239
Chapter 4Communicate over Networks
Time-based Safety Network Number
If the time-based format is selected, the SNN value that is generated represents
the date and time at which the number was generated, according to the personal
computer running the configuration software.

Manual Safety Network Number
If the manual format is selected, the SNN represents entered values from 1…9999

Communicate over NetworksChapter 4
IMPORTANT
Assigning the Safety Network Number (SNN)
You can allow RSLogix 5000 software to automatically assign an SNN, or you
can assign the SNN manually.
Automatic Assignment
When a new controller or module is created, a time-based SNN is automatically
assigned via the configuration software. Subsequent new safety-module additions
to the same CIP Safety network are assigned the same SNN defined within the
lowest address on that CIP Safety network.
Manual Assignment
The manual option is intended for routable CIP Safety systems where the
number of network subnets and interconnecting networks is small, and where
users might like to manage and assign the SNN in a logical manner pertaining to
their specific application.
See Changing the Safety Network Number (SNN)
If you assign an SNN manually, make sure that system expansion does not
result in duplication of SNN and node address combinations.
on page 41.
Automatic Versus Manual
For typical users, the automatic assignment of an SNN is sufficient. However,
manual manipulation of the SNN is required if the following is true:
• Safety consumed tags are used.
• The project consumes safety input data from a module whose
configuration is owned by some other device.
• A safety project is copied to another hardware installation within the same
routable CIP Safety system.
Changing the Safety Network Number (SNN)
Before changing the SNN you must do the following:
• Unlock the project, if it is safety-locked.
See Safety-lock the Controller
on page 88.
• Delete the safety task signature, if one exists.

ControlNet connections can be scheduled or unscheduled.
Table 7 - ControlNet Connections
Connection TypeDescription
Scheduled
(unique to the ControlNet network)
UnscheduledAn unscheduled connection is a message transfer between controllers that is triggered by the requested packet interval (RPI) or the program
A scheduled connection is unique to ControlNet communication. A scheduled connection lets you send and receive data repeatedly at a
predetermined interval, which is the requested packet interval (RPI). For example, a connection to an I/O module is a scheduled connection
because you repeatedly receive data from the module at a specified interval. Other scheduled connections include connections to the
following:
• Communication devices
• Produced/consumed tags
On a ControlNet network, you must use RSNetWorx for ControlNet software to enable scheduled connections and establish a net work update
time (NUT). Scheduling a connection reserves network bandwidth to specifically handle the connection.
(such as a MSG instruction). Unscheduled messaging lets you send and receive data when needed.
Unscheduled connections use the remainder of network bandwidth after scheduled connections are allocated.
Safety produced/consumed connections are unscheduled.
The 1768-CNB communication modules support 64 CIP connections over a
ControlNet network.
ControlNet Communication Example
This example illustrates the following:
• Compact GuardLogix controllers can produce and consume standard or
safety tags between each other.
• Compact GuardLogix controllers can initiate MSG instructions that
send/receive standard data or configure devices.
• The 1768-CNB module can be used as a bridge, letting the Compact
GuardLogix controller produce and consume standard and safety data to
and from I/O devices.
• The personal computer can upload/download projects to the controllers.
• The personal computer can configure devices on the ControlNet network,
and it can configure the network itself.

Standard DeviceNet
Communication
The DeviceNet network uses the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) to provide
the control, configuration, and data collection capabilities for industrial devices.
A DeviceNet network lets you connect devices directly to plant-floor controllers
without having to hardwire each device to an I/O module.
Table 8 - DeviceNet Interfaces
ApplicationRequired Interface
• Communicates with other DeviceNet devices
• Uses the controller as a master on a DeviceNet network
• Accesses remote Compact I/O™ modules over a DeviceNet network
• Sends remote I/O data for as many as 30 modules back to a scanner or controller
(1) This table specifically describes using the 1769-ADN adapter to access remote Compact I/O modules over the DeviceNet network.
However, CompactLogix controllers can access other Allen-Bradley remote I/O modules over the DeviceNet network. In those cases,
you must select the appropriate interface. For example, if accessing remote POINT I/O modules, you must selec t the 1734-ADN

DF1 Radio
Modem
User• Communication with ASCII devices.
DH-485• Communication with other DH-485 devices.
Communication between a controller and one other DF1-protocol-compatible device.
This is the Default System mode. These are the default parameters:
• Communication Rate: 19,200 bps
• Data Bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop Bits: 1
• Control Line: No Handshake
• RTS send Delay: 0
• RTS Off Delay: 0
This mode is typically used to program a controller through its serial port.
• The master/slave network includes one controller configured as the master node and up to 254
slave nodes. Link slave nodes using modems or line drivers.
• A master/slave network can have node numbers from 0...254. Each node must have a unique
node address. Also, for your link to be a network, it must consist of one master and one slave
station.
• When there are multiple slave stations on the network, link slave stations by using modems or
line drivers to the master. When you have a single slave station on the network, you do not
need a modem to connect the slave station to the master. You can configure the control
parameters for no handshaking. You can connect 2...255 nodes to a single link. In DF1 Slave
mode, a controller uses DF1 half-duplex protocol.
• One node is designated as the master and controls who has access to the link. All of the other
nodes are slave stations and must wait for permission from the master before transmitting.
• Compatible with SLC 500 and MicroLogix 1500 controllers.
• This mode supports Master and Slave, and Store and Forward modes.
• This requires your program to use ASCII instructions to read and write data from and to an ASCII
device.
• This multi-master, token-passing network permits programming and peer-to-peer messaging.

Setting the Connection
Reaction Time Limit
The Connection Reaction Time Limit is the maximum age of safety packets on
the associated connection. If the age of the data used by the consuming device
exceeds the Connection Reaction Time Limit, a connection fault occurs. The
Connection Reaction Time Limit is determined by the following equations:
Input Connection Reaction Time Limit =
Input RPI x [Timeout Multiplier + Network Delay Multiplier]
Output Connection Reaction Time Limit =
Safety Task Period x [Timeout Multiplier + Network Delay Multiplier - 1]
The Connection Reaction Time Limit is shown on the Safety tab of the Module
Properties dialog box.

Chapter 5Add, Configure, Monitor, and Replace CIP Safety I/O
Specify the Requested Packet Interval (RPI)
The RPI specifies the period at which data updates over a connection. For
example, an input module produces data at the RPI that you assign.
For safety input connections, you can set the RPI on the Safety tab of the Module
Properties dialog box. The RPI is entered in 1 ms increments, with a range of
1…100 ms. The default is 10 ms.
The Connection Reaction Time Limit is adjusted immediately when the RPI is
changed via RSLogix 5000 software.

For safety output connections, the RPI is fixed at the safety task period. If the
corresponding Connection Time Reaction Limit is not satisfactory, you can
adjust the safety task period via the Safety Task Properties dialog box.

View the Maximum Observed Network Delay
When the Compact GuardLogix controller receives a safety packet, the software
records the maximum observed network delay. For safety inputs, the Maximum
Observed Network Delay displays the round-trip delay from the input module to
the controller and the acknowledge back to the input module. For safety outputs,
it displays the round-trip delay from the controller to the output module and the
acknowledge back to the controller. The Maximum Observed Network Delay is
shown on the Safety tab of the Module Properties dialog box. When online, you
can reset the Maximum Observed Network Delay by clicking Reset.

Figure 14 - Resetting the Max Observed Network Delay
The actual Maximum Network Delay time from the producer to the
consumer is less than the value displayed in the Maximum Network Delay
field on the Safety tab. In general, the actual maximum message delay is
approximately one-half the Maximum Network Delay value that is

Timeout Multiplier
The Timeout Multiplier determines the number of RPIs to wait for a packet
before declaring a connection timeout. This translates into the number of
messages that may be lost before a connection error is declared.
For example, a Timeout Multiplier of 1 indicates that messages must be received
during every RPI interval. A Timeout Multiplier of 2 indicates that 1 message
may be lost as long as at least 1 message is received in 2 times the RPI (2 x RPI).
Rockwell Automation Publication 1768-UM002C-EN-P - April 201259
Chapter 5Add, Configure, Monitor, and Replace CIP Safety I/O
EXAMPLE
Network Delay Multiplier
The Network Delay Multiplier defines the message transport time that is
enforced by the CIP Safety protocol. The Network Delay Multiplier specifies the
round-trip delay from the producer to the consumer and the acknowledge back to
the producer. You can use the Network Delay Multiplier to reduce or increase the
Connection Reaction Time Limit in cases where the enforced message transport
time is significantly less or more than the RPI. For example, adjusting the
Network Delay Multiplier may be helpful when the RPI of an output connection
is the same as a lengthy safety task period.
For cases where the input RPI or output RPI are relatively slow or fast as
compared to the enforced message delay time, the Network Delay Multiplier can
be approximated by using one of the two methods.
Method 1: Use the ratio between the input RPI and the safety task period. Use
this method only under all of the following conditions:
• If the path or delay is approximately equal to the output path or delay.
• The input RPI has been configured so that the actual input message
transport time is less than the input RPI.
• The safety task period is slow relative to the Input RPI.
Under these conditions, the Output Network Delay Multiplier can be
approximated as follows:
Calculate the Approximate Output Network Delay Multiplier
If:
Input RPI = 10 ms
Input Network Delay Multiplier = 200%
Safety Task Period = 20 ms
Then, the Output Network Delay Multiplier equals:
200% x [10 ÷ 20] = 100%
Method 2: Use the Maximum Observed Network Delay. If the system is run for
an extended period of time through its worst-case loading conditions, the
Network Delay Multiplier can be set from the Maximum Observed Network
Delay. This method can be used on an input or output connection. After the
system has been run for an extended period of time through its worst-case loading
conditions, record the Maximum Observed Network Delay.

Understanding the
Configuration Signature
Each safety device has a unique configuration signature, which defines the
module configuration. The configuration signature is composed of an ID
number, date, and time, and is used to verify a module’s configuration.
Configuration via RSLogix 5000 Software
When the I/O module is configured by using RSLogix 5000 software, the
configuration signature is generated automatically. You can view and copy the
configuration signature via the Safety tab on the Module Properties dialog box.

TIP
Different Configuration Owner (listen only connection)
When the I/O module configuration is owned by another controller, you need to
copy the module configuration signature from its owner’s project and paste it
into the Safety tab of the Module Properties dialog box.
If the module is configured for inputs only, you can copy and paste the
configuration signature. If the module has safety outputs, they are owned by the
controller that owns the configuration, and the configuration signature text box is
unavailable.

Ownership
Addressing Safety I/O Data
When RSLogix 5000 software is online, the Safety tab of the Module Properties

project owns the configuration, Local is displayed. When a second device owns
the configuration, Remote is displayed, along with the safety network number
(SNN), and node address or slot number of the configuration owner.
Communication error is displayed if the module read fails.
When online, you can reset the module to its out-ofbox configuration by clicking Reset Ownership.
You cannot reset ownership when there are pending edits to the module
properties, when a safety task signature exists, or when safety-locked.
When you add a module to the I/O configuration folder, RSLogix 5000 software
automatically creates controller-scoped tags for the module.
I/O information is presented as a set of tags. Each tag uses a structure of data,
depending on the type and features of the I/O module. The name of a tag is based
on the module’s name in the system.

Chapter 6
This chapter explains the components that make up a safety project and provides
information on using features that help protect safety application integrity, such
as the safety task signature and safety-locking.
For guidelines and requirements for developing and commissioning SIL 3 and
PLe safety applications, refer to the GuardLogix Controller Systems Safety
Reference Manual, publication 1756-RM093
.
The Safety Reference Manual addresses the following:
• Creating a detailed project specification
• Writing, documenting, and testing the application
• Generating the safety task signature to identify and protect the project
• Confirming the project by printing or displaying the uploaded project and
manually comparing the configurations, safety data, and safety program
logic
• Verifying the project through test cases, simulations, functional
verification tests, and an independent safety review, if required
• Locking the safety application
• Calculating system reaction time
Rockwell Automation Publication 1768-UM002C-EN-P - April 201273
Chapter 6Develop Safety Applications
The Safety Task
When you create a safety controller project, RSLogix 5000 software
automatically creates a safety task with a safety program and a main (safety)
routine.
Figure 18 - Safety Task in the Controller Organizer
Within the safety task, you can use multiple safety programs, composed of
multiple safety routines. The Compact GuardLogix controller supports one
safety task. The safety task cannot be deleted.
You cannot schedule standard programs or execute standard routines within the
safety task.
Safety Task Period Specification
The safety task is a periodic timed task. You select the task priority and watchdog
time via the Task Properties - Safety Task dialog box. Open the dialog box by
right-clicking the Safety Task and choosing Properties.
Figure 19 - Configuring the Safety Task Period
74Rockwell Automation Publication 1768-UM002C-EN-P - April 2012
Develop Safety ApplicationsChapter 6
The safety task should be a high priority. You specify the safety task period (in
ms) and the safety task watchdog (in ms). The safety task period is the period at
which the safety task executes. The safety task watchdog is the maximum time
allowed from the start of safety task execution to its completion.
The safety task period is limited to a maximum of 500 ms and cannot be
modified online. Be sure that the safety task has enough time to finish logic
execution before it is triggered again. If a safety task watchdog timeout occurs, a
nonrecoverable safety fault is generated in the safety controller.
The safety task period directly affects system reaction time.
The GuardLogix Controller Systems Safety Reference Manual, publication
1756-RM093
, provides detailed information on calculating system reaction time.
Safety Task Execution
The safety task executes in the same manner as a standard periodic task, with the
following exceptions:
• The safety task does not begin executing until the primary controller and
internal safety partner establish their control partnership. (Standard tasks
begin executing as soon as the controller transitions to Run mode.)
• All safety input tags (inputs, consumed, and mapped) are updated and
frozen at the beginning of safety task execution.
See page 86
for information on safety tag mapping.
• Safety output tag (output and produced) values are updated at the
conclusion of safety task execution.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1768-UM002C-EN-P - April 201275
Chapter 6Develop Safety Applications
TIP
Safety Programs
Safety Routines
Safety programs have all the attributes of standard programs, except that they can
only be scheduled in the safety task and can only contain safety components.
Safety programs can only contain safety routines, one of which must be
designated as the main routine, and one of which may be designated as the fault
routine.
Safety programs cannot contain standard routines or standard tags.
Safety routines have all the attributes of standard routines, except that they exist
only in a safety program. At this time, only ladder diagram is supported for safety
routines.
RSLogix 5000 software uses a watermark feature to visually distinguish a safety
routine from a standard routine.
Safety Tags
76Rockwell Automation Publication 1768-UM002C-EN-P - April 2012
A tag is an area of a controller’s memory where data is stored. Tags are the basic
mechanism for allocating memory, referencing data from logic, and monitoring
data. Safety tags have all the attributes of standard tags with the addition of
mechanisms certified to provide SIL 3 data integrity.
When you create a tag, you assign the following properties:
• Name
• Description (optional)
• Tag t yp e
• Data type
• Scope
• Class
• Style
• External Access
You can also specify if the tag value should be a constant.
Develop Safety ApplicationsChapter 6
To create a safety tag, open the New Tag dialog box by right-clicking Controller
Tags or Program Tags and choosing New Tag.
Figure 20 - Creating a New Tag
Tag Type
Ta bl e 1 7 defines the four types of tags: base, alias, produced, and consumed.
Table 17 - Four Tag Types
Tag TypeDescription
BaseThese tags store values for use by logic within the project.
AliasA tag that references another tag. An alias tag can refer to another alias tag or a base tag. An
ProducedA tag that a controller makes available for use by other controllers. A maximum of 15
ConsumedA tag that receives the data of a produced tag. The data type of the consumed tag must match
alias tag can also refer to a component of another tag by referencing a member of a structure,
an array element, or a bit within a tag or member.
IMPORTANT: Aliasing between standard and safety tags is prohibited in safety applications.
Instead, standard tags can be mapped to safety tags using safety tag mapping. See Safety Tag
Mapping on page 86.
controllers can simultaneously consume (receive) the data. A produced tag sends its data to
one or more consuming tags without using logic. Produced tag data is sent at the RPI of the
consuming tag.
the data type of the produced tag. The requested packet interval (RPI) of the consumed tag
determines the period at which the data updates.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1768-UM002C-EN-P - April 201277
Chapter 6Develop Safety Applications
IMPORTANT
Data Type
The data type defines the type of data that the tag stores, such as bit or integer.
Data types can be combined to form structures. A structure provides a unique
data type that matches a specific need. Within a structure, each individual data
type is called a member. Like tags, members have a name and data type. You can
create your own structures, as user-defined data types.
Logix controllers contain predefined data types for use with specific instructions.
Only these data types are permitted for safety tags.
This restriction includes user-defined data types that contain predefined
data types.
78Rockwell Automation Publication 1768-UM002C-EN-P - April 2012
Develop Safety ApplicationsChapter 6
IMPORTANT
Scope
A tag’s scope determines where you can access the tag data. When you create a
tag, you define it as a controller tag (global data) or a program tag for a specific
safety or standard program (local data). Safety tags can be controller-scoped or
safety program-scoped.
Controller-scoped Tags
When safety tags are controller-scoped, all programs have access to the safety
data. Tags must be controller-scoped if they are used in the following:
• More than one program in the project
• To produce or consume data
• To communicate with a PanelView/HMI terminal
• In safety tag mapping
See Safety Tag Mapping
Controller-scoped safety tags can be read, but not written to, by standard
routines.
on page 86 for more information.
Controller-scoped safety tags are readable by any standard routine. The
safety tag’s update rate is based on the safety task period.
Tags associated with Safety I/O and produced or consumed safety data must be
controller-scoped safety tags. For produced/consumed safety tags, you must
create a user-defined data type with the first member of the tag structure reserved
for the status of the connection. This member is a predefined data type called
CONNECTION_STATUS.

Program-scoped Tags
When tags are program-scoped, the data is isolated from the other programs.
Reuse of program-scoped tag names is permitted between programs.
Safety-program-scoped safety tags can only be read by or written to via a safety
routine scoped in the same safety program.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1768-UM002C-EN-P - April 201279
Chapter 6Develop Safety Applications
Class
Tags can be classified as standard or safety. Tags classified as safety tags must have
a data type that is permitted for safety tags.
When you create program-scoped tags, the class is automatically specified,
depending upon whether the tag was created in a standard or safety program.
When you create controller-scoped tags, you must manually select the tag class.
Constant Value
When you designate a tag as a constant value, it cannot be modified by logic in
the controller, or by an external application such as an HMI. Constant value tags
cannot be forced.
RSLogix 5000 software can modify constant standard tags, and safety tags
provided a safety task signature is not present. Safety tags cannot be modified if a
safety task signature is present.
External Access
External Access defines the level of access that is allowed for external devices, such
as an HMI, to see or modify tag values. Access via RSLogix 5000 software is not
affected by this setting. The default value is read/write.
Table 20 - External Access Levels

Develop Safety ApplicationsChapter 6
Produced/Consumed Safety
Tags
To transfer safety data between GuardLogix controllers, you use produced and
consumed safety tags. Produced and consumed tags require connections. The
default connection type for produced and consumed tags is unicast in version 19
and later of RSLogix 5000 software.
Table 21 - Produced and Consumed Connections
TagConnection Description
ProducedA Compact GuardLogix controller can produce (send) safety tags to other 1756 or 1768
GuardLogix controllers.
The producing controller uses a single connection for each consumer.
ConsumedCompact GuardLogix controllers can consume (receive) safety tags from other 1756 or 1768
GuardLogix controllers.
Each consumed tag consumes one connection.
Produced and consumed safety tags are subject to the following restrictions:
• Only controller-scoped safety tags can be shared.
• Produced and consumed safety tags are limited to 128 bytes.
• Produced/consumed tag pairs must be of the same user-defined data type.
• The first member of that user-defined data type must be the predefined
CONNECTION_STATUS data type.
• The requested packet interval (RPI) of the consumed safety tag must
match the safety task period of the producing GuardLogix controller.
To properly configure produced and consumed safety tags to share data between
peer safety controllers, you must properly configure the peer safety controllers,
produce a safety tag, and consume a safety tag, as described below.
Configure the Peer Safety Controllers’ Safety Network Numbers
The peer safety controller is subject to the same configuration requirements as
the local safety controller. The peer safety controller must also have a safety
network number (SNN).

8. Enter the requested packet interval (RPI) for the connection in 1 ms
increments.
The default is 20 ms.
The RPI specifies the period at which data updates over a connection. The
RPI of the consumed safety tag must match the safety task period of the
producing safety project.
The Connection Reaction Time Limit is the maximum age of safety
packets on the associated connection. For simple timing constraints, an
acceptable Connection Reaction Time Limit can be achieved by adjusting
the RPI.
The Max Network Delay is the maximum observed transport delay from
the time the data was produced until the time the data was received. When
online, you can reset the Max Network Delay by clicking Reset Max.
9. If the Connection Reaction time limit is acceptable, click OK; or for more
complex requirements, click Advanced to set the Advanced Connection
Reaction Time Limit parameters.
The Timeout Multiplier determines the number of RPIs to wait for a
packet before declaring a connection timeout.
The Network Delay Multiplier defines the message transport time that is
enforced by the CIP Safety protocol. The Network Delay Multiplier
specifies the round-trip delay from the producer to the consumer and back
to the producer. You can use the Network Delay Multiplier to increase or
decrease the Connection Reaction Time Limit.

Safety Tag Mapping
Controller-scoped standard tags cannot be directly accessed by a safety routine.
To allow standard tag data to be used within safety task routines, the Compact
GuardLogix controllers provide a safety tag mapping feature that lets standard tag
values be copied into safety task memory.
Restrictions
Safety tag mapping is subject to these restrictions:
• The safety tag and standard tag pair must be controller-scoped.
• The data types of the safety and standard tag pair must match.
• Alias tags are not allowed.
• Mapping must take place at the whole tag level. For example, myTimer.pre
is not allowed if myTimer is a TIMER tag.
• A mapping pair is one standard tag mapped to one safety tag.
• You may not map a standard tag to a safety tag that has been designated as
a constant.
• Tag mapping cannot be modified when the following is true:
– The project is safety-locked.
– A safety task signature exists.
– The keyswitch is in RUN position.
– A nonrecoverable safety fault exists.
ATTENTION: When using standard data in a safety routine, you are responsible for providing
a reliable means of ensuring that the data is used in an appropriate manner. Using standard
data in a safety tag does not make it safety data. You must not directly control a SIL 3/PLe
safety output with standard tag data.

Configuring an EtherNet/IP or ControlNet Driver
For information on configuring a driver, refer to the appropriate publication:
• EtherNet/IP Modules in Logix5000 Control Systems, publication
ENET-UM001
• ControlNet Modules in Logix5000 Control Systems User Manual,
publication CNET-UM001
RSLogix 5000 software determines whether you can go online with a target
controller based on whether the offline project is new or whether changes
occurred in the offline project. If the project is new, you must first download the
project to the controller. If changes occurred to the project, you are prompted to
upload or download. If no changes occurred, you can go online to monitor the
execution of the project.
A number of factors affect these processes, including Project to Controller Match
feature, the safety status and faults, the existence of a safety task signature, and the
safety-lock/-unlock status of the project and the controller.

TIP
Project to Controller Matching
The Project to Controller Match feature affects the download, upload, and go
online processes of standard and safety projects.
If the Project to Controller Match feature is enabled in the offline project,
RSLogix 5000 software compares the serial number of the controller in the
offline project to that of the connected controller. If they do not match, you must
cancel the download/upload, connect to the correct controller, or confirm that
you are connected to the correct controller, which updates the serial number in
the project to match the target controller.
Firmware Revision Matching
Firmware revision matching affects the download process. If the revision of the
controller does not match the revision of the project, you are prompted to update
the firmware of the controller. RSLogix 5000 software lets you update the
firmware as part of the download sequence.
To update the firmware of the controller, first install a firmware upgrade kit.
An upgrade kit ships on a supplemental CD along with RSLogix 5000
software.
You can also upgrade the firmware by choosing ControlFLASH™ from the Tools
menu in RSLogix 5000 software.
Safety Status/Faults
Uploading program logic and going online is allowed regardless of safety status.
Safety status and faults affect the download process only.
You can view the safety status via the Safety tab on the Controller Properties
dialog box.

IMPORTANT
Safety Task Signature and Safety-locked and -unlocked Status
The existence of a safety task signature and the safety-locked or -unlocked status
of the controller affect both the upload and download processes.
On Upload
If the controller has a safety task signature, the safety task signature and the safety
task lock status are uploaded with the project. For example, if the project in the
controller was safety-unlocked, the offline project remains safety-unlocked
following the upload, even if it was locked prior to the upload.
Following an upload, the safety task signature in the offline project matches the
controller’s safety task signature.
On Download
The existence of a safety task signature, and the controller’s safety-lock status,
determines whether or not a download can proceed.

status matches the status in the offline project.
During a download to a contro ller that is safety -unlocke d, if firmware in the
controller is different than in the offline project, do one of the following:
• Update the controller so that it matches the offline project. Once the
update is completed, the entire project is downloaded.
• Update the project to the controller version.
If you update the project, the safety task signature is deleted, and the
system requires revalidation.
