Use with Safety Controllers
You can use only the Compact GuardLogix 5380 or GuardLogix 5580 controllers with the
PointMax I/O safety modules.
For more information on which controllers you can use with PointMax safety I/O modules,
see the Product Compatibility and Download Center at rok.auto/pcdc.
You must use the Studio 5000 Logix Designer application, version 36 or later, to
configure the PointMax safety I/O modules.
Determine Conformity
ATTENTION:
Use only appropriate components or devices that comply with the relevant
safety standards and meet the required safety integrity level or performance
level and safety category.
- Conformity to the requirements of the relevant safety standards must be determined for the entire system by conducting a risk assessment.
- Use devices properly according to the installation environment, performance rating, and functions of the machine.
- Use devices within their specified ratings.
- We recommend that you consult a certification body regarding assessment of conformity to the required safety integrity level or performance level.
You are responsible for confirming compliance with the applicable standards
for the entire system. You must read, understand, and fulfill the functional
safety requirements of the standard applicable to your safety
application.
Safety Precautions
ATTENTION:
Personnel responsible for the application of safety-related programmable
electronic systems (PES) shall be aware of the safety requirements in the
application of the system and shall be trained in the use of the system.
Observe these precautions for the proper use of safety I/O modules.
ATTENTION:
As serious injury can occur due to loss of required safety function, follow
these safety precautions.
- Never use test outputs as safety outputs. Test outputs are not safety outputs.
- Do not use standard I/O data or explicit message data as safety data.
- Do not use light-emitting diode (LED) status indicators on the I/O modules for safety operations.
- Do not connect loads beyond the rated value to the safety outputs.
- Apply properly specified voltages to the module. Applying inappropriate voltages can cause the module to fail to perform its specified function, which could lead to loss of safety functions or damage to the module.
- Wire the safety I/O modules as shown in the PointMax I/O Systems Specifications Technical Data, publication 5034-TD001.
- Set unique network node addresses before connecting devices to the network.
- Perform testing to confirm that device wiring, configuration, and operation is correct before starting system operation.
ATTENTION:
Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the module. This can result in loss of
safety functions. For more information about safety precautions, see Secure Access to the System.
Install and Replace Modules
ATTENTION:
- Clear previous configuration data before connecting devices to the network or connecting input or output power to the device.
- Configure the replacement device properly and confirm that it operates correctly.
- After installation of the module, a safety administrator must confirm the installation and conduct trial operation and maintenance.
