IMPORTANT:
Safety Consideration
GuardLogix®
 5580 controllers can produce standard tags as unicast or multicast, but they can only produce safety tags as unicast. The controllers can consume safety tags as either unicast or multicast.
When you configure a produced safety tag, you are only allowed to configure unicast connection options. Logix Designer application does not allow you to configure multicast connection options.
When you configure a consumed tag, you must consider the capabilities of the producer:
  • If the producer in the I/O tree of this controller is a
    GuardLogix®
     5580 or
    Compact GuardLogix®
     5380 controller, and you are consuming a safety tag, you must configure the consumed tag to use unicast.
  • If the producer in the I/O tree of this controller is a
    GuardLogix®
     5570 or 5560, or a
    Compact GuardLogix®
     5370, the safety consumed tag can be configured as either unicast or multicast.
  • GuardLogix®
     5580 controllers do not produce safety tags to
    GuardLogix®
     5570 (firmware revision 30 or earlier) controllers in the same chassis, because
    GuardLogix®
     5580 controllers can only produce safety tags as unicast, and
    GuardLogix®
     5570 (firmware revision 30 or earlier) controllers cannot configure consumed tags as unicast. This restriction does not apply over
    EtherNet/IP™
    , as consumed tags can be configured for unicast.
