This chapter includes important overview information and precautions for using
Guard I/O modules that implement the DeviceNet safety protocol. Also
included is an overview of how these Guard I/O modules are used within a safety
system.
Before You Begin
Always observe the following guidelines when using a module, noting that in this
manual we use safety administrator to mean a person qualified, authorized, and
responsible to secure safety in the design, installation, operation, maintenance,
and disposal of the machine.
• Thoroughly read and understand this manual before installing and
operating the module.
• Keep this manual in a safe place where personnel can refer to it when
necessary.
• Use the module properly according to the installation environment,
performance, and functions of the machine.
• Verify that a safety administrator conducts a risk assessment on the
machine and determines module suitability before installation.
• Verify for CE LVD compliance, the external power supply that provides
power to the modules is safety extra-low voltage (SELV) rated. Some
Rockwell Automation Bulletin 1606 power supplies are SELV-compliant.
Verify this in the Bulletin 1606 Installation Instructions.
Verify that the Guard I/O firmware version is correct prior to commissioning the
safety system, noting that firmware information related to safety controllers is
available at http://www.rockwellautomation.com/products/certification/safety
.

Chapter 1About the Modules
Understand Suitability for
Use
Follow Precautions for Use
Rockwell Automation is not responsible for conformity with any standards,
codes, or regulations that apply to the combination of the products in your
application or use of the product.
Take all necessary steps to determine the suitability of the product for the
systems, machine, and equipment with which it is used.
Know and observe all prohibitions of use applicable to this product.
Never use the products for an application involving serious risk to life or property
without making sure that the system as a whole was designed to address the risks
and that the Rockwell Automation product is properly rated and installed for the
intended use within the overall equipment or system.
ATTENTION: Safety state of the inputs and outputs is defined as the
off state.
Safety state of the module and its data is defined as the off state.
Use the Guard I/O module only in applications where the off state is the
safety state.
Serious injury may occur due to breakdown of safety outputs. Do not
connect loads beyond the rated value to the safety outputs.
Serious injury may occur due to loss of required safety functions. Wire
the module properly so that supply voltages or voltages for loads do not
touch the safety outputs accidentally or inadvertently.
ATTENTION: Use DC supply satisfying the following requirements to
prevent electric shock:
• A DC power sup ply wi th dou ble or reinforced i nsulatio n, for examp le,
according to IEC/EN 60950 or EN 50178 or a transformer according to
IEC/EN 61558
• A DC supply satisfies requirement for class 2 circuits or limited
voltage/current circuit stated in UL 508
• Use an external power supply that is safety extra-low voltage (SELV)
rated
14Rockwell Automation Publication 1791DS-UM001J-EN-P - May 2013
About the ModulesChapter 1
ATTENTION: Follow these precautions for safe use.
• Wire conductors correctly and verify operation of the module before
placing the system into operation. Incorrect wiring may lead to loss
of safety function.
• Do not apply DC voltages exceeding the rated voltages to the
module.
• Apply properly specified voltages to the module inputs. Applying
inappropriate voltages may cause the module to fail to perform it’s
specified function, which could lead to loss of safety functions or
damage to the module.
• Never use test outputs as safety outputs. Test outputs are not safety
outputs.
• Note that after installation of the module, a safety administrator
must confirm the installation and conduct trial operation and
maintenance.
• Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the module. This may result in
loss of safety functions.
• Use only appropriate components or devices complying with
relevant safety standards corresponding to the required safety
category and safety integrity level.
- Conformity to requirements of the safety category and safety
integrity level must be determined for the entire system.
- We recommend you consult a certification body regarding
assessment of conformity to the required safety integrity level or
safety category.
• Note that you must confirm compliance with the applicable
standards for the entire system.
• Disconnect the module from the power supply before wiring.
Devices connected to the module may operate unexpectedly if
wiring is performed while power is supplied.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1791DS-UM001J-EN-P - May 201315
For 1791DS-IB4XOW4 modules, follow these instructions on isolating
transformer use. Refer to the isolating transformer figure.
• Use an isolating transformer to isolate between over-voltage category III
and II, such as TR1, to conform to IEC 60742.
• Be sure the insulation between first input and secondary output satisfies at
least basic insulation of over-voltage category III.
• Be sure one side of a secondary output of the isolating transformer is
grounded to prevent electric shock to personnel due to a short to ground
or short to the frame of the isolating transformer.
• Insert fuses, in case of a short to the frame, to protect the isolating
transformer and prevent electric shock to personnel, per transformer
specifications, at points such as F1, F2, and F3.

About the ModulesChapter 1
Precautions to Mount, Wire,
and Clean
Observe these precautions to prevent operation failure, malfunctions, or
undesirable effects on product performance.
Follow these precautions when mounting modules:
• Use DIN rail that is 35 mm (1.38 in.) wide to mount the module into the
control panel.
• Mount modules to DIN rail securely.
• Leave at least 50 mm (1.96 in.) above and below the module to allow
adequate ventilation and room for wiring for 1791DS-IB12, 1791DSIB8XOB8, and 1791DS-IB4XOW4 modules.
• Leave at least 15 mm (0.6 in.) around the module to allow adequate
ventilation and room for wiring for 1732DS-IB8, 1732DS-IB8XOBV4,
1791DS-IB8XOBV4, and 1791DS-IB16 modules.
Follow these precautions when wiring modules:
• Do not place communication lines and I/O lines in the same wiring duct
or track as high voltage lines.
• Wire correctly after confirming the signal names of all terminals.
• Do not remove the shield from a module before wiring, but always remove
the shield after completing wiring to be sure of proper heat dispersion for
1791DS-IB12, 1791DS-IB8XOB8, and 1791DS-IB4XOW4 modules.
• Follow torquing specifications as indicated in the installation instructions.
I/O Module Overview
When cleaning modules, do not use the following:
• Thinner
• Benzene
• Acetone
The Guard I/O modules implement the CIP-safety protocol extensions over
DeviceNet networks and provide various features for a safety system.
Use the modules to construct a safety-control network system that meets the
requirements up to Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL 3) as defined in IEC 61508,
Functional Safety of Electrical, Electronic, and Programmable Electronic Safetyrelated Systems, and the requirements for Safety Category 4 of the EN 954-1
standard, Safety of machinery - Safety related parts of control systems. All
1791DS modules can be mounted vertically or horizontally.
Remote I/O communication for safety I/O data are performed through safety
connections supporting CIP safety over a DeviceNet network. Data processing is
performed in the safety controller.
The status and fault diagnostics of Guard I/O modules are monitored by a safety
controller through a safety connection using a new or existing DeviceNet
network.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1791DS-UM001J-EN-P - May 201317

Safety I/O Modules
Read this chapter for information related to the safety functions of the modules.
Also included is a brief overview on international standards and directives that
you should be familiar with.
The following status is the safety state of the Guard I/O modules:
• Safety outputs: off
• Safety input data to network: off
Figure 10 - Safety Status
Rockwell Automation Publication 1791DS-UM001J-EN-P - May 201325
Chapter 2Understand the Operation of Safety Functions
The module is designed for use in applications where the safety state is the off
state.
Self-diagnostic Functions
Configuration Lock
I/O Status Data
Self-diagnostics are performed when the power is turned on and periodically
during operation. If a fatal internal module error occurs, the red module status
(MS) indicator is illuminated, and the safety outputs and input data and status to
the network turn off.
After configuration data has been downloaded and verified, the configuration
data within the module can be protected by using RSNetWorx for DeviceNet
software.
For GuardLogix systems, this status indicator is not used. Reference information
about safety signatures in the GuardLogix Controller Systems Safety Reference
Manual, publication 1756-RM093
Safety Reference Manual, publication 1756-RM099
In addition to I/O data, the module provides status data for monitoring the I/O
circuits. The status data includes the following data, which can be read by the
controllers. Note that 1 = ON/Normal and 0 = OFF/Fault/Alarm.
• Individual Point Input Status
• Combined Input Status
• Individual Point Output Status
• Combined Output Status
• Individual Test Output Status
• Individual Output Readback (actual ON/OFF state of the outputs)
or the GuardLogix 5570 Controller System
.
Status data indicates whether each safety input, safety output, or test output is
normal (normal status: ON, faulted status: OFF). For fatal errors,
communication connections may be broken, so the status data cannot be read.
Status bits are OFF in the GuardLogix 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 is known as the combined safety input status or combinedsafety output status.
Safety Inputs
26Rockwell Automation Publication 1791DS-UM001J-EN-P - May 2013
Read this section for information about safety inputs and their associated test
outputs. A safety input may be used with test outputs. Safety inputs are used to

Dual-channel Mode and Discrepancy Time
To support redundant-channel safety devices, the consistency between signals on
two channels can be evaluated. Either equivalent or complementary can be
selected. This function monitors the time during which there is a discrepancy
between the two channels.
If the length of the discrepancy exceeds the configured discrepancy time
(0…65,530 ms in increments of 10 ms), the safety input data and the individualsafety input status turns off for both channels.
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, and so on.
Do not set the discrepancy time longer than necessary. The purpose of the
discrepancy time is to allow for normal differences between contact
switching when demands are placed on safety inputs. For this testing to
operate correctly, only a single demand on the safety input is expected
during the discrepancy time. If the discrepancy time is set too high, and
multiple demands occur during this time, then both safety input channels
will fault.
This table shows the relation between input terminal states and controller input
data and status.

Dual-channels, Equivalent
In Equivalent mode, both inputs of a pair should typically be in the same
(equivalent) state. When a transition occurs in one channel of the pair prior to
the transition of the second channel of the pair, a discrepancy occurs. If the
second channel transitions to the appropriate state prior to 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
