New Analog Safety I/O Modules from Rockwell Automation Meet Fail-Safe Requirements

FLEX 5000 safety I/O provides device monitoring and functional safety protection for process applications

The new Allen-Bradley FLEX 5000 analog safety I/O modules can help process operators meet fail-safe requirements and minimize related downtime risks in a wide range of process applications.

The analog safety I/O module from Rockwell Automation offer integrated safety with systematic capability up to SC 3. The modules are TÜV certified up to SIL 3, PLe, Cat. 4. They also can be mounted in the same I/O bank with standard FLEX 5000 I/O modules to reduce system costs and complexity.

The FLEX 5000 analog safety I/O modules are ideal for process applications where speed or frequency measurement, temperature, pressure, or flow sensor monitoring are required for functional safety protection. Potential applications include emergency shutdown, burner management, turbine control, compressor control, oil and gas auxiliary boilers, high-pressure protection, lighting, and ventilation management.

With these new module, the FLEX 5000 product family now includes a complete portfolio of discrete and analog fail-safe I/O modules for a wide range of applications. Users can simply choose the I/O that meets their operational needs.

FLEX 5000 I/O can also reduce downtime by providing easier access to additional process diagnostics via highly integrated HART in the Studio 5000 Logix Designer application. They can reduce overall footprint by allowing the direct termination of field signals. And they can save engineering time via tight integration with instruction sets in PlantPAx 5.0 and above systems.

Rockwell Automation Expands Its LifecycleIQ Portfolio by Adding Threat Detection Managed Services

The new offering of Threat Detection Managed Services from Rockwell Automation provides application-level, real-time monitoring, and response services to help detect, identify, contain, eradicate, and recover from a cyber incident.

Rockwell Automation is committed to providing unique value to its customers and provides Claroty threat detection software as an option in its Threat Detection portfolio, as well as Cisco Cyber Vision, which provides a unique switch-based architecture for customers with existing Cisco solutions, greenfield networks, or those updating their Cisco network infrastructure.

Whether a customer selects Cisco or Claroty’s threat detection software, Rockwell’s combined services provide a unique value to customers by:

  • Ensuring an easy and consistent deployment
  • Providing dependable support across a global enterprise
  • Providing global project implementation services and remote monitoring support in the long term
