POINT Guard I/O Overview Chapter 1
Safety Precautions Observe these precautions for proper use of POINT Guard I/O modules.
Installing and Replacing Modules
When cleaning modules, do not use the following:
• Thinner
• Benzene
• Acetone
POINT Guard I/O Modules in
CIP Safety Systems POINT Guard I/O modules are used in the POINT I/O platform and
implement CIP Safety protocol extensions over EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet
networks to communicate safety messages. POINT Guard I/O modules connect
to EtherNet/IP or DeviceNet networks via these network adapters.
ATTENTION: As serious injury may 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 Ethernet, DeviceNet, or ControlNet standard I/O data or explicit
message data as safety data.
• Do not use 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 may cause the module to fail to perform it’s specified function, which
could lead to loss of safety functions or damage to the module.
• Wire the POINT Guard I/O modules properly following the wiring requirements
and guidelines in Wire Modules on page 58 .
• 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.
• Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the module. This may result in loss of
safety functions.
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.
