1756 GuardLogix™
Integrated Safety Controller

Automation users and manufacturers
continue to look for flexible solutions
that can help address global safety
standards and regulations.
These regulations, combined with
competitive pressures to reduce costs
and improve productivity, demand
a better integration of standard and
safety control.
Now, with the Allen-Bradley®
GuardLogix™, you get safety control,
together with ControlLogix® standard
and motion control for true integrated
safety that offers SIL 3 control.

Integrated Safety
GuardLogix isn’t just a safety controller, it’s a standard ControlLogix
processor plus safety features that ensure SIL 3 safety control.
With its two-processor architecture (1oo2), the GuardLogix system
consists of a safety primary and a safety partner processor. A benefit of this
type of system is that it’s still a single project; the safety partner is a part
of the system, is automatically configured, with no setup, configuration or
download to the safety partner required.
With GuardLogix, you can reap the advantages of using RSLogix 5000, the
standard development environment for all Allen-Bradley Logix controllers.
The flexible tag-based system makes it very easy to coordinate between
safe and standard logic and to display diagnostics about the safety system.
Plus, RSLogix 5000 manages safety, so you don’t have to manually manage
the separation of standard and safety memory, or worry about partitioning
logic to isolate safety, it’s all done for you by RSLogix 5000.
