Allen-Bradley CompactBlock Guard I/O improves information-sharing, configuration and productivity (MILWAUKEE, Dec. 17, 2007 - Rockwell Automation announces the release of Allen-Bradley CompactBlock Guard I/O on EtherNet/IP, the industry's first safety I/O module to feature EtherNet/IP connectivity. This significant product release allows companies to use the widely recognized industry standard EtherNet/IP protocol in conjunction with an Allen-Bradley GuardLogix controller or other Safety PLCs that incorporate the CIP Safety protocol over EtherNet/IP. Safety PLC systems, including Safety I/O, enable manufacturers to deploy safety applications with the flexibility of programmable controllers as opposed to the traditional approach of using hard-wired safety relays. Safety networks allow manufacturers to distribute the safety I/O, reducing wiring and installation costs, while making diagnostic information available to the standard control and HMI system.
