Chapter 1
Before You Begin
This chapter includes important overview information and precautions for use of
the Guard I/O modules that implement the EtherNet/IP safety protocol. Also
included is an overview on how these I/O modules are used within a safety
system.
Always observe the following 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 Bulletin
1606 Installation Instructions.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1791ES-UM001D-EN-P - May 20139
Chapter 1About the Modules

About the ModulesChapter 1
ATTENTION: Use a DC power 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 IED/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
• Follow these precautions for safe use.
• 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 exceeding the rated voltages to the
module.
• Apply properly specified voltages to the module inputs. Applying
inappropriate voltages causes the module to fail to perform its
specified function, which leads 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 can 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 can operate unexpectedly if wiring
is performed while power is supplied.
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 15 mm (0.6 in.) around the module to allow adequate
ventilation and room for wiring.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1791ES-UM001D-EN-P - May 201311
Chapter 1About the Modules
Follow these instructions 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.
• Follow torquing specifications as indicated in the installation instructions.
When cleaning modules, do not use the following:
• Thinner
• Benzene

I/O Module Overview
The Guard I/O modules implement the CIP-safety protocol extensions over
EtherNet/IP 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
Safety-related Systems, and the requirements for Safety Category 4 of the
EN 954-1 standard, Safety of machinery - Safety related parts of control systems.
Remote I/O communication for safety I/O data are performed through safety
connections supporting CIP safety over an EtherNet/IP network, and data
processing is performed in the safety controller.
The status and fault diagnostics of the I/O modules are monitored by a safety
controller through a safety connection by using a new or existing EtherNet/IP
network.

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.
For GuardLogix systems, the LED indicator is not used. Reference information
about safety signatures in the GuardLogix Controller Systems Safety Reference
Manual, publication 1756-RM093
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)
.
Safety Inputs
Status data indicate whether each safety input, safety output, or test output is
normal (normal status: ON, faulted status: OFF). For fatal errors,
communication connections can be broken, so the status data cannot be read.
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 combined
safety output status.
Read this section for information about safety inputs and their associated test
outputs. A safety input can be used with test outputs. Safety inputs are used to
monitor safety input devices.

Set 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
individual-safety 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.

In Equivalent mode, both inputs of a pair must typically be in the same

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
equivalent dual pair, the data bits for both channels will always be sent to the
controller as equivalent, both high or both low.

Safety Input Fault Recovery
If an error is detected, the safety input data remains in the off state. The
procedure for activating the safety input data again is as follows.
1. Remove the cause of the error.
2. Place the safety input (or safety inputs) into the safety state.
The safety input status turns on (fault cleared) after the input-error latch
time has elapsed. The I/O indicator (red) turns off. The input data can
now be controlled.
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 input contact’s rising edge. The input only
turns on if the input contact remains on after the on-delay time has elapsed. This
helps prevent rapid changes of the input data due to contact bounce.

the outputs are turned on. The status is normal. If a fault is detected on one
channel, the safety output data and individual safety output status turn off for
both channels.

Safety Output Fault Recovery
If a fault is detected, the safety outputs are switched off and remain in the off
state. The procedure for activating the safety output data again is as follows.

1. Remove the cause of the error.
2. Place the safety output (or safety outputs) into the safety state.
The safety output status turns on (fault cleared) when the output-error
latch time has elapsed. The I/O indicator (red) turns off. The output data
can now be controlled.
See the table for information about controlling devices.
ATTENTION: Use appropriate devices as indicated in the Controlling
Device Requirements table. Serious injury can occur due to loss of safety
functions.

Safety Precautions
ATTENTION: As serious injury can occur due to loss of required safety function,
follow these safety precautions:
• Do not use test outputs of the modules as safety outputs.
• Do not use EtherNet/IP standard I/O data or explicit message data as
safety data.
• Do not use LED indicators on the I/O modules for safety operations.
• Do not connect loads beyond the rated value to the safety outputs.
• Wire the Guard I/O modules properly so that 24V DC line does not touch
the safety outputs accidentally or unintentionally.
• Clear previous configuration data before connecting devices to the
network.
• Set suitable IP addresses before connecting devices to the network.
• Perform testing to confirm that all of the device configuration data and
operation is correct before starting system operation.
• When replacing a device, configure the replacement device suitably and
confirm that it operates correctly.
• When installing or replacing modules, clear any previous configuration
before connecting input or output power to the device.
