POINT Guard I/O Overview

POINT Guard I/OModules in CIP Safety Systems

POINT Guard I/O modules are used in the POINT I/Oplatform and

implement CIP Safety™ protocol extensions over EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet networks to communicate safety messages. POINT Guard I/Omodules connect to EtherNet/IP or DeviceNet networks via these network adapters.

Table 2 – Network Adapters

Network	System	Adapter(1)
EtherNet/IP	GuardLogix	1734-AENT (Firmware Revision 3 or later)
EtherNet/IP	GuardLogix	1734-AENTR
DeviceNet	SmartGuard or GuardLogix	1734-PDN

(1) Not compatible with 1734-ADN, 1734-ADNX, 1734-APB, or 1734-ACNR adapters.

Distributed I/O communication for safety I/O data is performed through safety connections that support CIP Safety over an EtherNet/IP or DeviceNet

network. Data is processed in the safety controller. A control monitors the status and fault diagnostics of POINT Guard I/Omodules.

In addition to I/O state data, the modules include status data to monitor I/O faults within each circuit.

A password can help protect the configuration information of the modules.

Safety Application Requirements

POINT Guard I/O modules are certified for use in safety applications up to and including PLe/Cat. 4 and SIL CL3 in which the de-energized state is the safe

state. Safety application requirements include evaluation of probability of failure rates (PFD and PFH), system reaction time settings, and functional verification tests that fulfill SIL 3 criteria.

Creating, recording, and verifying the safety signature is also a required part of the safety application development process. The safety controller creates the

safety signatures. The safety signature consists of an identification number, date, and time that uniquely identifies the safety portion of a project. This number includes all safety logic, data, and safety I/Oconfiguration.

For safety system requirements, including information on the safety network

number (SNN), verifying the safety signature, functional verification test

intervals, system reaction time, and PFD/PFH calculations, refer to the following publications.

For safety requirements in:

Safety Inputs, Safety Outputs and Safety Data

POINT Guard I/O Analog Input Module

The analog input POINT Guard I/O module has these safe states:

• Safety input data to network in single-channel configuration: 0 (OFF)

• Safety input data to network in dual-channel equivalent configuration:

– If a diagnostic fault occurs, the signal for the faulted channel is set to 0 (OFF).

– If a dual-channel discrepancy fault occurs, the dual-channel inputs continue to report actual input signals.

Safety Inputs- 1734-IB8S Safety inputs are used to monitor safety input devices.

Use a Test Output with a Safety Input

A test output can be used in combination with a safety input for short circuit, cross-channel, and open-circuit fault detection. Configure the test output as a pulse test source and associate it to a specific safety input.

The test output can also be configured as a power supply to source 24V DC to an external device, for example, a light curtain.

Dual-channel Mode and Discrepancy Time

To support dual-channel safety devices, the consistency between signals on two channels can be evaluated. Either equivalent or complementary can be selected.

If the length of a discrepancy between the channels exceeds the configured

discrepancy time (10…65,530 ms in increments of 10 ms), the safety input data and the individual-safety input status turnoff for both channels. In Dual-channel Complimentary mode, the safety input data goes to off/on for input channels

n/n+1 respectively as described in Table 3.

IMPORTANT The dual-channel function is used with two consecutive inputs that are paired

together, and start at an even input number, such as inputs 0 and 1, 2 and 3.

IMPORTANT If you use the safety application instructions with a GuardLogix® controller, set

the inputs of the module inputs to Single (default). Do not use the

dual-channel mode of the module, as this functionality is provided by the safety application instructions.

This table shows the relation between input terminal states and controller input data and status.

Safety Inputs, Safety Outputs and Safety Data

Dual-channel, Equivalent

In Equivalent mode, both inputs of a pair must be in the same (equivalent) state. When a transition occurs in one channel of the pair before the transition of the second channel of the pair, a discrepancy occurs. If the second channel transitions to the appropriate state before the discrepancy time elapses, the inputs are

considered equivalent. If the second transition does not occur before the

discrepancy time elapses, the channels will fault. In the fault state, the input and status for both channels are set low (OFF). When configured as an equivalent dual pair, the data bits for both channels are sent to the controller as equivalent, both high or both low.

Safety Inputs, Safety Outputs and Safety Data

Dual-channels, Complementary

In Complementary mode, the inputs of a pair must be in the opposite

(complementary) state. When a transition occurs in one channel of the pair

before the transition of the second channel of the pair, a discrepancy occurs. If the second channel transitions to the appropriate state before the discrepancy time elapses, the inputs are considered complementary.

If the second transition does not occur before the discrepancy time elapses, the channels will fault. The fault state of complementary inputs is the

even-numbered input that is turned off and the odd-numbered input turned ON. Note that if faulted, both channel status bits are set low. When configured as a complementary dual-channel pair, the data bits for both channels are sent to the controller in complementary, or opposite states.

Safety Input Fault Recovery

If an error is detected, the safety input data remains in the OFF state. Follow this procedure to activate the safety input data again.

1. Remove the cause of the error.

2. Place the safety input (or safety inputs) into the safe state.

3. Allow the input-error latch time to elapse.

After these steps are completed, the I/O indicator (red) turns off. The input data is now active.

Input Delays

On-delay – An input signal is treated as Logic 0 in the on-delay time (0…126 ms, in increments of 6 ms) after the rising edge of the input contact. The input turns on only if the input contact remains on after the on-delay time has elapsed. This setting helps prevent rapid changes of the input data due to contact bounce.

Safety Input Network Data

Off-delay – An input signal is treated as Logic 1 in the off-delay time (0…126 ms, in increments of 6 ms) after the falling edge of the input contact. The input turns off only if the input contact remains off after the off delay time has elapsed. This setting helps prevent rapid changes of the input data due to contact bounce.

Safety Inputs, Safety Outputs and Safety Data

Safety Analog Inputs- 1734-IE4S

Safety analog-input channels can be configured for current, voltage, or

tachometer inputs, and for input type: single-channel or dual-channel equivalent.

IMPORTANT

If you use the module with a GuardLogix controller, set the inputs of the

module to Single (default). Do not use the dual-channel equivalent mode of the modules with the GuardLogix dual channel safety application instructions, as dual-channel functionality is provided by the GuardLogix instructions.

Input Range

You can configure the module for these voltage or current input ranges, or for tachometer inputs.

• ±10V • ±5V

• 0…5V

• 0…10V

• 4…20 mA

• 0…20 mA

• Tachometer (1…1000 Hz)

IMPORTANT When ±10Vand ±5V ranges are selected, you must make sure that a

broken-wire condition is not a safety hazard. A broken wire causes the analog value to transition to 0, which is within the valid input range. Therefore, status bits do not indicate the broken-wire condition.

Scale the Input Signals

The module converts input signals to the engineering units specified when you configure the module. You set the High Engineering value and the Low

Engineering value to which the module scales the input signal before the data is sent to the application program of the controller.

EXAMPLE The module is configured as follows:

• Input Range = 0…10V

• Low Engineering value = 0

• High Engineering value = 10,000

If the incoming signal is 1V, the data is 1000. If the incoming signal is 5.5V, the data is 5500.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1734-UM013Q-EN-P – April 2024 27

Safety Inputs, Safety Outputs and Safety Data

Digital Input Filter

A single-pole, anti-alias filter of 10 Hz is followed by a four-pole digital filter. Choose from these available corner frequencies.

• 1 Hz • 5 Hz • 10 Hz

• 50 Hz

The default input filter setting is 1 Hz.

Figure 12 – Filter Operation

Anti-alias Filter

Configurable Digital Filter Settings N = 1 Hz, 5 Hz, 10 Hz, or 50 Hz

The filter setting affects the step response of the module. For more information, see the Point I/O Selection Guide, publication 1734-SG001.

For the analog input modes, the input filter settings set the low-pass filter to filter out noise that can be present on the signal. In Tachometer mode, the input filter removes noise that can be present on the calculated frequency, this effectively

changeshow rapidly the tachometer frequency changes to provide a value with less jitter.

Sensor Power Supply

You can configure the module to supply power to the connected sensors, or you can supply power to the sensors from an external power supply. To comply with UL restrictions, you must power the field power and connected devices with one, Class 2-complaint power supply.

Werecommend that you configure the module to supply power to the sensors. This configuration lets the module detect if a sensor loses power, if the sensor draws too much power, or if there is a short in the power wiring to the sensor.

At powerup or after areconfiguration, each sensor power supply is turned on for

500 ms to test them.

28 Rockwell Automation Publication 1734-UM013Q-EN-P – April 2024

Safety Inputs, Safety Outputs and Safety Data

When a channel is configured for module sensor power, a sensor power

diagnostic is executed on that channel at powerup. The diagnostic is used to make sure that the sensors do not draw over-or undercurrent and that

channel-to-channel shorts are not present.

When a sensor power overcurrent condition occurs, it can take as much as 15 seconds longer than the configured latch time for channel status to recover after the overcurrent condition is cleared.

IMPORTANT If you use an external power supply, you must monitor the system for the

following:

• The supply voltage must be within the operating range of the sensor.

• The current draw of the sensors must not be over– or undercurrent–current, which could indicate a problem with the components of the sensor.

• Channel–to–channel shorts must be detected, if they occur.

Channel Offset

You can configure an offset if differences of the nominal input signal in the sensor exceed the desired discrepancy deadband. Use the Channel Offset if you use two sensors of different types to measure the same variable. Sensors from two

different vendors potentially give slightly different data values for a given

temperature or pressure. Use the Channel Offset to bring the data values back together. You can also use the Channel Offset with two identical sensors that are physically offset from each other.

The channel offset is applied before the channel discrepancy is evaluated.

The Channel Offset is applied only during the evaluation of discrepancy between two

channels that are configured for Dual Channel and is not applied to any of the Process

Alarms. Therefore, if you use two sensors to measure the same process variable, and these sensors read different values, you may need to set the Process Alarms to different values based on the sensor readings.

Process Alarms

Process alarms alert you when an analog input value has exceeded the configured high or low limits for each channel. Process alarms are set at four configurable trigger points.

• High High alarm

• High alarm

• Low alarm

• Low Low alarm

Rockwell Automation Publication 1734-UM013Q-EN-P – April 2024 29

Safety Inputs, Safety Outputs and Safety Data

You can configure a tolerance range, called a deadband, to work with process alarms. This deadband lets the process alarm status bit remain set, despite the disappearance of the alarm condition, as long as the data remains within the deadband of the process alarm.

IMPORTANT

If you use the safety application instructions with a GuardLogix controller, do not use the process alarm of the module. Instead, check the analog range in your application logic.

Use a Single-channel Sensor

You must address these requirements to meet SIL 3 with asingle-channel sensor.

• The module’s ±10Vand ±5V analog input modes must not be used for SIL 3 with a single-channel sensor because 0V falls within the valid input range. Therefore, a stuck at ground fault cannot be detected.

• In a single-channel sensor system, you must use other methods to make sure a channel-to-channel short cannot occur because these faults cannot be detected.

• If you use a 3-wire sensor, you must verify its behavior to make sure that if it loses its ground connection, the signal is 0 (safe state) at the module

input when the fault occurs.

30 Rockwell Automation Publication 1734-UM013Q-EN-P – April 2024

Safety Inputs, Safety Outputs and Safety Data

Dual-channel Equivalent Mode

IMPORTANT If you use the module with a GuardLogix controller, set the inputs of the

module to Single (default). Do not use the dual-channel mode of the module as this functionality is provided by the GuardLogix safety application

instructions.

The 1734-IE4S module supports Dual-channel Equivalent mode. In

Dual-channel Equivalent mode, the values of both inputs of a pair must be within a configured tolerance range (discrepancy deadband). If the difference between

the channel values exceeds the deadband for longer than the configured

discrepancy time, a discrepancy fault is declared. When a dual-channel

discrepancy fault occurs, the input status values for both channels are set low (off) and the actual input values are reported. The fault is cleared when the difference between the values of the channel fallback within the discrepancy deadband tolerance range for the discrepancy time.

Figure 14 illustrates module operation in dual-channel equivalent mode. At A, the difference between the channel values exceeds the discrepancy deadband

tolerance range and the discrepancy timer starts. When the timer expires at B, a dual-channel discrepancy fault occurs and the status bits of the input are set low. At C, the values fallback within the discrepancy deadband and the discrepancy timer starts again. When the timer expires at D, and the values are still within the discrepancy deadband, the fault is cleared. At E, the difference between the

channels exceeds the discrepancy deadband and the discrepancy timer starts. A discrepancy fault occurs again at F, when the timer expires and the difference between the channel values remains greater than the discrepancy deadband.

Safety Inputs, Safety Outputs and Safety Data

Tachometer Mode

In Tachometer mode, the module measures digital pulses from 0V…24VDC, and converts them into a frequency or pulses per second. Therefore, you can use 24V DC proximity sensors or 5V DC encoders, for example. The Tachometer function does not sense direction, so the use of a differential encoder does not yield direction data. Tachometer mode could be used, for example, to measure the rotational speed of an axis that is connected to a gear.

Tachometer mode can operate as SIL 2 single-channel. Use two sensors, the dual-low detection parameter, and user program logic to achieve SIL 3. Safety reaction time is dependent on the signal frequency.

IMPORTANT When you use two sensors in a dual-channel configuration, position the

sensors to make sure that the low pulses occur at different times. If you have configured the module for duallow detection and both sensors are low

simultaneously, a fault is declared.

Figure 15 – Sensor Pulses in Dual-channel Configuration

Sensor 1

Sensor 2

Sensor 1

Sensor 2

Low pulses are offset.

Low pulses occur simultaneously and causes a fault.

Signal Measurement

The edge-to-edge time of the pulse determines the frequency of the signal in pulses per second. The frequency range is 1 Hz…1 kHz.

In Tachometer mode, you define how the signal is measured, either on the falling (non-inverted) or rising (inverted) edge. For NPN-style sensors (sensor sinks), use the falling edge. For PNP-style sensors (sensor sources), use the rising edge. Depending on your application, you may need to install an appropriately sized pull-up resistor for falling-edge signal measurements, or a pull-down resistor for rising-edge signal measurements.

Falling edges are not well-defined.

Rising edges are not well-defined.

Falling Edge Rising Edge

Pull-down resistor helps define falling edges.

Pull-up resistor helps define rising edges.

Off and On Signal Levels

You configure the Off and On levels, in 1V increments, for the signal. When you select these levels, assume a tolerance of at least ±0.5V. For example, if you set the On Level to 10V, you can expect the module to recognize a signal from

9.5V…10.5Vas On. While the accuracy of the module when it measures the analog signal is good, Tachometer mode emphasizes a wider voltage range and speed to be able to measure pulse widths accurately.

Also consider the variance of the voltage output from your sensor when you make the On and Off Level settings. If possible, werecommend that you select On

Levels that are 2V below and Off Levels that are 2V above the actual thresholds of the expected output voltage level of your device.

Determine Frequency in Pulses per Second

The edge-to-edge time of either the falling or rising edge of the pulse determines the frequency in pulses per second.

One pulse, by itself, does not generate a nonzero frequency. To report a frequency of 1 Hz, two falling or rising edge pulses must be detected within 1 second. The module reports 0 Hz until 1 Hz is detected. For example, if a falling or rising edge is not detected for 1.02 seconds after the previous edge, the module reports 0 Hz.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1734-UM013Q-EN-P – April 2024 33

Safety Inputs, Safety Outputs and Safety Data

Overfrequency Bit Operation

When the frequency exceeds 1 kHz, the module reports a data value of 1 kHz, sets the Overfrequency status bit to 0, and latches it. While the Overfrequency bit is set to 0, you must use an alternate method to monitor the frequency of the system because the value reported by the module is latched at 1 kHz. Once you

have verified that the frequency is lower than 1 kHz, you can reset the

Overfrequency condition by setting the Reset Tach bit, which lets the module begin to measure the frequency of field pulses again.

If you set the Reset Tach bit while the frequency is still above 1 kHz, the

Tachometer Overfrequency bit transitions to 1 (within range) momentarily.

However, as soon as the module begins to measure pulses, it detects another

overfrequency condition and immediately set the Tachometer Overfrequency bit to 0 again. The Reset Tach bit is edge-sensitive.

ATTENTION: Before you reset the Overfrequency condition, you must use another method to verify that the actual frequency is lower than 1 kHz.

See Output Assemblies on page 171 for more information on how to reset the Overfrequency bit.

In Figure 17, the module reports a frequency of 0 Hz until the frequency of the system reaches 1 Hz at A, when the module begins to report the actual value. At B, the frequency exceeds 1 kHz, the Overfrequency bit is set to 0, and the module continues to report a data value of 1 kHz. Between B and C, you must monitor the frequency by an alternate method because the value that is reported by the module is not always accurate. After C, the Overfrequency condition can be

cleared, provided you have used an alternate method to verify that the actual frequency is below 1 kHz.

Muting Lamp Operation- 1734-IB8S

With firmware revision 1.002 and later, the operation of the muting status bits for test outputsT1 and T3 has changed. Your PLC processor program controls test outputsT1 and T3 to illuminate a muting lamp. Muting lamp status is

monitored with a test that runs periodically during every test interval to detect a burned-out lamp. The test runs repeatedly when the test output is commanded on. Figure 21 explainshow muting lamp operation, status, and fault detection are monitored.

The lamp test interval is 3 seconds. Two consecutive failed lamp tests are required to

declare a burned-out lamp condition. The lamp test does not always run immediately after the test output is energized. It starts at the next 3-second interval. To allow time for two consecutive test intervals, program a minimum Test Output On Time of 6 seconds.

Figure 21 – Muting Lamp Timing Diagram

Table 4 shows the expected behavior of the muting status for test outputsT1 and T3. Keep these points in mind as well:

• When power is applied to the 1734-IB8S module, and T1 orT3 remains commanded off, the muting status defaults to on.

38 Rockwell Automation Publication 1734-UM013Q-EN-P – April 2024

Safety Inputs, Safety Outputs and Safety Data

This bit operation is designed to help prevent erroneous muting

instruction faults from the GuardLogix controller. This bit status is not always the true indication of a burned-out lamp.

IMPORTANT

Before you check the state of the corresponding muting status, be sure that the test output is commanded on. Once the test output is commanded on, a

maximum time of 6 seconds is required for the module to detect a burned-out lamp.

• If a muting lamp circuit is open when power is applied to the module, the condition is detected when the test output is commanded on.

• When a lamp burns out and is replaced, the fault (muting status bit) returns to the normal condition, independent of the state of the test output.

Table 4 – Muting Status Bit Operation

Test Output Commanded State	Lamp Condition	Muting Status Bit	Description
ON	Bad (open circuit)	0	Repair the lamp.
ON	Good	1	Normal condition. The lamp is operating properly.
OFF	Bad (open circuit)	0	If the lamp remains OFF after you cycle the T1 orT3 output, repair the lamp.
OFF	Good	1	Normal condition.

I/O Status Data In addition to I/O data, the module also provides status data to monitor the I/O

circuits. The status includes diagnostic data that the controllers read with 1 = ON/Normal and 0 = OFF/Fault/Alarm.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1734-UM013Q-EN-P – April 2024 39

Safety Inputs, Safety Outputs and Safety Data

Digital I/OStatus Data

This status data is monitored:

• Individual Point Input Status

• Combined Input Status

• Individual Point Output Status

• Combined Output Status

• Individual Test Output Status

• Individual Output Monitor (actual ON/OFF state of the outputs)

Individual Point status indicates whether each safety input, safety output, or test output is normal (normal: ON, faulted: OFF). For fatal errors, communication connections can be broken, so the status data cannot be read. Status bits are OFF in the controller data table when the connection is lost.

Combined status is provided by an AND of the status of all safety inputs or all safety outputs. When all inputs or outputs are normal, the respective combined status is ON. When one or more of them has an error, the respective combined status is OFF. This status is known as the combined safety input status or

combined safety output status.

Analog I/OStatus Data

Individual input status indicates whether each analog input point is normal (ON) or faulted (OFF). In addition, this diagnostic data is monitored:

• User 24V Supply Overrange or Underrange

• Sensor Power Overcurrent or Undercurrent

• Channel Signal Overrange or Underrange

• Broken Wire Detected (4…20 mA current mode)

• Single-channel Discrepancy Error (channel fault)

In SIL 2 or SIL 3 operation,a single-channel discrepancy error occurs

when both measurements (internal to the module) of the same input signal are not within tolerance. If a single-channel discrepancy occurs, this

indicates a problem with the module. Input status is set to zero and a zero input value is reported for that channel.

• SIL 3 Dual-channel Discrepancy Error (channel fault)

• Alarms

– High High and Low Low Alarm Overrange or Underrange

– High and Low Alarms Overrange or Underrange

– Dual-channel Tachometer DualLow Inputs Detected

– Tachometer Frequency Overrange or Underrange

The alarm status is reported in the Alarm Status attribute for each channel.

The POINTBus™ backplane includes a 5V communication bus and field power bus that get their power from a communication adapter or expansion power

supplies. All POINT I/O™ modules are powered from the POINTBus backplane by either the adapter or expansion power supply. POINT I/Oadapters have

built-in power supplies. Use the information and examples in this chapter to determine if you need an expansion power supply in your system.

ATTENTION: To comply with the CE Low Voltage Directive (LVD), this

equipment, and all connected I/O, must be powered from a safety extra low voltage (SELV) or protected extra low voltage (PELV) compliant source.

For UL–compliant applications, the 1734-IB8S, 1734-OB8S, and 1734-OBV2S

modules, and all connected I/O, must be powered from a SELV– or PELV–compliant power source that is rated 150VA maximum.

For UL–compliant applications, the 1734-IE4S module, the module’sfield power and connected I/O devices must be powered from a Class 2-compliant, limited voltage/limited current power source.

Chapter 3 Guidelines for Placing Power Supplies and Modules in a System

Follow the safety precautions that are listed in Chapter 1 and the wiring

guidelines that are described in Chapter 4 before you connect a power supply to the system.

To choose which types of power supplies meet the system requirements, you must consider the power consumption requirements for the 5Vand 24V bus when you design a POINTBus backplane.

Choose from these power supplies for the POINTBus backplane and field power:

• The 1734-EP24DC expansion power supply provides an additional 10 A of 24V DC field power and provides an additional 1.3 A of 5Vcurrent to the I/O modules to the right of the power supply.

• The 1734-FPD field power distributor provides an additional 10 A of24V DC field power, and passes through all POINT I/O backplane signals and the 5V bus supplied to the left. It does not provide additional POINTBus backplane power which lets you isolate field power segments.

• The 1734-EPAC expansion power supply (for standard I/O modules)

provides an additional 10 A of 120/240VAC field power and provides an additional 1.3 A of 5V current to the I/O modules to the right of the

power supply.

IMPORTANT If you use the 1734-EPAC expansion power supply to the left of the POINT

Guard I/O™ modules, you must use a 1734-FPD field power distributor or 1734-EP24DC expansion power supply. These distributors are used to isolate POINT Guard I/O field power from the AC field supply.

5V POINTBus power is required to establish and maintain communication (connection) between the module and the controller.

See the POINT I/O Selection Guide, publication 1734-SG001, for more information on compatible power supplies.

• Example 1: Isolate Field Power Segments on page 43

• Example 2: POINT Guard I/O Used with AC I/O Modules on page 44

These examples are for illustrative purposes only, to help you understand various power supply concepts.

IMPORTANT • You must define the requirements for field and bus power segments in

your application.

• The POINT Guard I/O modules DO NOT require separate field bus power usage, that is, separate power supplies. This step is optional.

• The POINT Guard I/O modules DO NOT require a separate POINTBus

power-supply, which separates a module from other POINT I/O modules, except when additional POINTBus power is required.

• Do not apply AC voltage to POINT Guard I/Omodules.

Wire the Modules Follow these guidelines when you wire the modules.

• Do not route communication, input, or output wiring with conduit that contains high voltage. See the Industrial Automation Wiring and

Grounding Guidelines, publication1770-4.1.

• Wire correctly after confirming the signal names of all terminals.

• Use shielded cable for analog and tachometer inputs.

• When using the sensor power supply on the 1734-IE4S module, do not connect an external power supply to the sensor.

• If you use the 1734-IE4S sensor power supply of the module to power your input devices, you are responsible for verifying that your application

operates properly with the diagnostic features of this output.

• Tighten screws for communication and I/O connectors correctly.

• When using analog inputs, wire only to voltage or only to current inputs, not both. If you mix input types, it can induce noise on the input

measurements.

ATTENTION: Wire the POINT Guard I/O modules properly so that the 24V DC line does not touch the safety outputs accidentally or unintentionally.

Do not connect loads beyond the rated value to safety outputs.

Wire conductors correctly and verify operation of the module before placing the system into operation. Incorrect wiring can lead to loss of safety function.

Do not apply DC voltages that exceed the rated voltages to the module.

Do not connect a power source to the sensor power supply in the 1734-IE4S module or you could blow an internal fuse. When an internal fuse is blown, the module is inoperative.

Disconnect the module from the power supply before wiring. If wiring is performed while power is supplied, devices that are connected to the module can operate

unexpectedly.

WARNING: If you connect or disconnect wiring while the field-side power is on, an electric arc can occur. This arc could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is

nonhazardous before proceeding.

This equipment must be used within its specified ratings that Rockwell Automation has defined.

ATTENTION: This product is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis ground. Use zinc plated chromate-passivated steel DIN rail to assure proper grounding. The use of other DIN rail materials (for example, aluminum or plastic) that can corrode, oxidize, or are poor conductors, can result in improper or intermittent grounding. Secure DIN rail to mounting surface approximately every 200 mm (7.8 in.) and use end–anchors appropriately. Be sure to ground the DIN rail

properly. Refer to Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, Rockwell Automation publication 1770-4.1, for more information.

Safety Analog Input Wiring

The following sections contain important guidelines for wiring safety analog

inputs and wiring examples for the 1734-IE4S module. See page 59 for examples.

Guidelines for Wiring Safety Analog Inputs

Follow these guidelines when wiring your safety analog inputs.

• For eight terminal connections, use the 1734-TOP or 1734-TB terminal bases.

• For all 12 terminal connections, use the 1734-TOP3 terminal base. When using a 1734-TOP3 base, both of the COM terminals and both of the

Sensor Power terminals for each channel are internally connected. The FE terminal connection that is shown on the diagrams represents a grounding lug on the panel or terminal connection to the DIN rail.

• If the sensor has a digital output for use with Tachometer mode, it must be either a push-pull type output or have appropriate pull-up or pull-down resistors for NPNor PNP sensors. The analog input module does not

provide the low impedance of these pull-up or pull-down resistors.

IMPORTANT

You must verify the behavior of your 3-wire sensor to make sure that if it loses its ground connection, the signal is 0 (safe state) at the module input when the fault occurs.

IMPORTANT To obtainSIL 3,Cat. 3 or Cat.4, you must make sure that the analog input

signals do not short together or that the two sensors are installed to provide signals that are offset from one another. When the module is configured as the source for sensor power, a short–circuit is detected at powerup (Cat. 2).

However, when an external power supply is used, another means must detect this fault.

Chapter 5 Configure the Module in a GuardLogix Controller System

2. Assign the Point Operation Type.

Choose	Description
Single	Inputs are treated as single channels. Dual-channel safety inputs can be configured as two individual single channels. This configuration does not affect pulse tests because it is handled on an individual channel basis. IMPORTANT: Use single-channel mode when you intend to use the GuardLogix safety application instructions.
Equivalent	Inputs are treated as a dual-channel pair. The channels must match within the discrepancy time or an error is generated.
Complementary	Inputs are treated as a dual-channel pair. They must be in opposite states within the discrepancy time or an error is generated.

When you choose Equivalent or Complementary, you must also assign a Discrepancy Time.

A discrepancy time setting of 0 ms means that the channels in a dual

configuration can be discrepant for an infinite amount of time without a fault being declared.

For adiscrepancy time setting of 0 ms, the evaluated status of the inputs still goes to the safe state due to a ‘cycle inputs’ required condition.

However, with a 0 ms discrepancy time setting, a fault is not declared.

A ‘cycle inputs’ required condition occurs when one input terminal goes from its normal Active->Inactive->Active state while the other input

terminal remains in its normal Active state. Eventhough no fault is

declared, the inputs must be cycled through the safe state before the evaluated status of the inputs can return to the Active state. When in a ‘cycle inputs’ required condition, the logical state does not necessarily match the voltage at the terminals.

IMPORTANT

Configuring the discrepancy time on safety I/O modules masks input discrepancies that the controller safety instructions detect. The

controller reads the status to obtain this fault information.

3. Assign the Point Mode.

Choose	Description
Not Used	The input is disabled. If 24Vis applied to the input terminal, it remains logic 0.
Safety Pulse Test	Pulse tests are performed on this input circuit. A test source on the POINT Guard I/O module must be used as the 24V source for this circuit. Use the test source dropdown menu to is configured the test source. The pulse test detects shorts to 24V and channel-to-channel shorts to other inputs.
Safety	A safety input is connected but there is no requirement for the POINT Guard I/O module to perform a pulse test on this circuit. An example is a safety device that performs its own pulse tests on the input wires, such as a light curtain.
Standard	A standard device, such as a reset switch, is connected. This point cannot be used in dual-channel operation.

4. Assign a Test Source for each safety input on the module that you want to pulse test.

Choose	Description
None	If pulse tests are performed on an input point, then the test source that is sourcing the 24V for the input circuit must be selected. If the incorrect test source is entered, the result is pulse test failures on that input circuit.
Test Output 0
Test Output 1(1)
Test Output 2
Test Output 3(1)

(1) Test Outputs 1 and 3 incorporate optional muting functionality.

5. Assign the Input Delay Time, Off-> On (0…126 ms, in increments of 6ms).

Filter time is for OFF to ON transition. Input must be high after the input delay has elapsed before it is set logic 1. This delay time is configured per channel with each channel that is tuned to match the characteristics of the field device, for maximum performance.

6. Assign the Input Delay Time, Off-> On (0…126 ms, in increments of 6ms).

Filter time is ON to OFF transition. Input must below after the input

delay has elapsed before it is set logic 0. This delay time is configured per channel with each channel that is tuned to match the characteristics of the field device, for maximum performance.

Configure the Safety Analog Input Channel Operation

To configure the safety analog input channels, follow this procedure.

1. From the Module Properties dialog box, click the Safety Input Configuration tab.

2. Assign the Operation Type.

Choose

Description

Single

Inputs are treated as single channels. Dual-channel safety inputs can be configured as two individual, single channels.

IMPORTANT: Use single-channel mode when you intend to use the GuardLogix safety application instructions.

Equivalent

Inputs are treated as a dual-channel equivalent pair. The channels must match within the discrepancy time or an error is generated.

IMPORTANT

If you use a Dual-channel Analog (DCA) safety instruction in your application program, you must configure the 1734-IE4Smodule for single-channel operation. Analog input pairs are then evaluated as pairs and compared to each other in the application logic.

3. If you chose Equivalent, you must also assign a Discrepancy Time, from 0…65,530 ms in 10 ms increments.

This measurement is the amount of time the two channels can differ from each other (larger than the deadband value) before a discrepancy error is declared. A discrepancy time setting of 0 ms means that the channels in a dual configuration can be discrepant for an infinite amount of time

without a fault being declared. This setting effectively removes the usefulness of dual-channel mode.

4. Configure a deadband for the paired safety analog inputs.

The deadband can be any value from 0…32767 (engineering units) in increments of 1. When the paired input values exceed the deadband tolerance for longer than the Discrepancy Time, a discrepancy fault occurs.

Configure a deadband value for applications that use two sensors to measure the same variable; otherwise, spurious trips can occur.

4. Configure an input filter.

A single-pole, anti-aliasing filter of 10 Hz is followed by a four-pole digital filter. Choose from the following available corner frequencies.

• 1 Hz (recommended for Tachometer mode) • 5 Hz

• 10 Hz

• 50 Hz

For more information on the filter frequencies and step response, see the Point I/O Selection Guide, publication 1734-SG001.

5. Assign High and Low Engineering scaling values for the inputs, if desired. The valid range for both the High and Low Engineering settings is

-30000…+30000, in increments of 1. Scaling lets the module report in engineering units such as degrees, PSI, CFM, and percent, rather than in raw counts.

If the channel operation is configured as dual channel equivalent, when you click Apply, channel 1 is set to the same value as channel 0 and channel 3 is set to the same value as channel 2 if the channel operation is configured as dual channel equivalent.

6. To indicate how each sensor is powered, set the Sensor Power Supply value to External or Module.

To supply power to the sensors connected to the POINT Guard Analog Input

module, set this value to Module. This setting allows the module to detect a loss of sensor power.

Configure Safety Analog Input Alarms (Optional)

If you use a Dual-channel Analog (DCA) safety instruction in your application program, we recommend that you do not configure these values on the module. Instead, to facilitate troubleshooting, use the application program to check for high and low alarm values via the Dual-Channel Analog Input instruction or other data comparison instructions.

To configure alarms for each of the safety analog input channels, follow these steps.

1. From the Module Properties dialog box, click the Alarm tab.

2. To configure each channel, click 0, 1, 2, or 3, as appropriate.

3. To enable the alarm, check the boxes:

• Enable High High – Low Low Alarms

• Enable High – Low Alarms

4. Use these guidelines to enter the alarm values from-32768…+32767 in the appropriate fields.

• The High High alarm value must be greater than or equal to the High alarm value.

• The High alarm value must be greater that the Low alarm value.

• The Low Low alarm value must be less than or equal to the Low alarm value.

• These values are based on the engineering units that are configured on page 85.

5. Configure a deadband value for the High High – Low Low alarms and High – Low alarms, if desired.

The valid range is 0…32767. The deadband lets the alarm status bit remain set, despite the removal of the alarm condition, as long as the input data remains within the deadband of the alarm. These values are based on the engineering units that are configured on page 85.

Configure Tachometer Operation

You can only configure the module for tachometer operation if your Module Definition includes Output Data for Safety-Tachometer.

Follow these steps to define how the module operates in Tachometer mode.

1. From the Module Properties dialog box, click the Tachometer Configuration tab.

2. Turn DualLow Detection ON or OFF for each channel pair.

To increase the diagnostic coverage of your speed sensing loop, you must determine whether the two tachometer sensors you use to sense speed are shorted together. That is, you must be able to detect a channel-to-channel fault. One method is to implement two tachometer sensors so that, during normal operation, their pulse trains are never low simultaneously. When DualLow Detection is ON, the module detects this condition as a fault. This fault indicates that the two sensors are shorted together.

To use this feature, you must use Channels 0 and 1 together, and Channels 2 and 3 together. Channels 0 and 1 have the same setting and channels 2 and 3 have the same setting.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1734-UM013Q-EN-P – April 2024 87

Chapter 5 Configure the Module in a GuardLogix Controller System

3. Configure the Trigger to indicate if the module channels must count pulses on the rising edge or falling edge.

When the module is configured as Dual, channels 0 and 1 have the same setting and channels 2 and 3 have the same setting.

4. Specify a tachometer Off Level in volts for each channel.

This level is the voltage at which the module considers the tachometer sensor to be OFF for tachometer speed calculation purposes.

The valid range is 0…23V in increments of 1V. The default setting of 5V must be satisfactory for a 0…24V DC signal. For a 0…5V DC signal, a

setting of 1Vis recommended.

See Off and On Signal Levels on page 33 for more information on the Off and On Levels.

When the module is configured as Dual Channel Equivalent, channels 0 and 1 have the same setting and channels 2 and 3 have the same setting.

5. Specify a tachometer On Level in volts for each channel.

This level is the voltage at which the module considers the tachometer sensor to be ON for tachometer speed calculation purposes

The valid range is 1…24V in increments of 1V. The default setting of 11V must be satisfactory for a 0…24V DC signal. For a 0…5V DC signal, a

setting of4Vis recommended.

See Off and On Signal Levels on page 33 for more information about the Off and On Levels.

When the module is configured as dual-channel Equivalent, channels 0 and 1 have the same setting and channels 2 and 3 have the same setting. The tachometer On Level must be greater than the tachometer Off Level.

The smallest input RPI allowed is 6 ms. When you select small RPIs, it consumes network bandwidth and can cause spurious trips because

other devices cannot get access to the network.

As an example, a safety input module with only E-stop switches

connected works well with settings of 50…100 ms. An input module with a light curtain guarding a hazard needs the fastest response

possible. When you select the appropriate RPIs, the system has maximum performance.

Chapter 5 Configure the Module in a GuardLogix Controller System

b. Use the default values for Timeout Multiplier (2) and Network Delay Multiplier (200).

IMPORTANT

To determine what is appropriate, analyze each safety channel. The default Timeout Multiplier of 2 and Network Delay Multiplier of 200 creates a

worst-case input connection-reaction time limit of 4 times the RPI, and an output connection-reaction time limit of 3 times the RPI. A safety

administrator must approve these changes only after a thorough review.

A connection status tag exists for every connection.

If the RPI and connection reaction time limit for the network are set appropriately, then this status tag must always remain low. Monitor all

connection status bits to verify that they are not going high intermittently due to timeouts.

For more information about the Advanced Connection Reaction Time Limit Configuration dialog box, see the user manual for your

controller. See Additional Resources on page 8.

Configuration Ownership

The connection between the owner and the POINT Guard I/O module is based on the following :

• POINT Guard I/Omodule number

• POINT Guard I/O safety network number

• GuardLogix slot number

• GuardLogix safety network number

• Path from the GuardLogix controller to the POINT Guard I/O module

• Configuration signature

If any differences are detected, the connection between the GuardLogix

controller and the POINT Guard I/O module is lost, and the yellow yield icon appears in the controller project tree.

For more information, see Replace POINT Guard I/O Modules on page 131.

Save and Download the Module Configuration

Update POINT Guard I/O Modules

After you configure a module, it is recommended that you save and download the configuration.

If, after you download the program, theMS and NS status indicators on the

POINT Guard I/O module are not both steady green, there is a potential loss of ownership. A yellow yield icon in the project tree also indicates a loss of

ownership. For more information, see Chapter 8.

IMPORTANT

When you use ControlFLASH™ software to update a module, the software stops a running safety I/O connection. You must inhibit I/O connections before

updating a POINT Guard I/Omodule.

In addition, the 1734-IE4S safety analog input module requires field power to be applied while updating the firmware of the module. If a ControlFLASH update

fails, click View Log on the Update Status dialog box to check the ControlFLASH log.

If the last message is ‘[FAILURE] Update: Error #11001: Unknown General Status error code received. GS = 0xD0, ES = 0x0001,’ verify that field power is connected to the module and restart the download.

The module receives field power from the 24V DC connection to the power supply, for

example a 1734-AENT, 1734-FPD, or 1734-EP24DC module. Make sure that 24V DC power is connected to these modules before performing a firmware update for the 1734-IE4S

module.

Guard I/O modules. The module has an out-of-box preset node address of 63. We suggest that you connect and set the node address one module at a time. Otherwise, the address conflicts can prevent communication with some of the modules.

IMPORTANT The unique identifier for a safety node is a combination of the safety network

number (SNN) and node address. When the SNN is set, the current node

address is used to generate and store this identifier in nonvolatile memory. Once the identifier is set, for safety reasons, the node address cannot be

changed unless specific action is taken to reset the POINT Guard I/OSSN of the module. For this reason, you are required to set the node address before the application of an SNN.

6. To display parameters for editing, double-click each Channel Tachometer Configuration group.

Parameter Name	Value	Description	Default
Tach Dual Low Detection	On	To increase the diagnostic coverage of your speed sensing loop, you must determine whether the two tachometer sensors you are using to sense speed are shorted together. That is, you must be able to detect a channel-to-channel fault. One method is to implement two tachometer sensors so that, during normal operation, their pulse trains are never low simultaneously. When DualLow Detection is enabled, the module detects this condition as a fault, which indicates that the two sensors are shorted together. To use this feature, you must use Channels 0 and 1 together, and Channels 2 and 3 together. Channels 0 and 1 have the same setting and channels 2 and 3 have the same setting. Both channels in the pair must use tachometer mode and the duallow detection diagnostic.	Disabled
Tach Dual Low Detection	Off		Disabled
Tach Trigger Type	Falling edge (NPN)	Non-inverted input signal.	Falling edge
Tach Trigger Type	Rising edge (PNP)	Inverted input signal.	Falling edge
TachOff Level	0…23V (in 1V increments)	This value is the voltage at which the module considers the tachometer sensor to be OFF for tachometer speed calculation purposes. The Tachometer Off Level must be less than the Tachometer On Level.	5V
TachOn Level	1…24V (in 1V increments)	This value is the voltage at which the module considers the tachometer sensor to be ON for tachometer speed calculation purposes. The Tachometer On Level must be greater than the Tachometer Off Level.	11V

Replace a Module in a GuardLogix System on an EtherNet/IP Network	136
Use a SmartGuard or GuardLogix Controller on a DeviceNet Network to Replace a Module	143

This chapter provides information on how to replace POINT Guard I/O™

modules when they are connected to GuardLogix® or SmartGuard™ controllers. For more information on these controllers, refer to the controller publications listed in the Additional Resources on page 8.

A major difference in functionality between the GuardLogix and SmartGuard safety controllers affects the replacement of safety I/O modules. GuardLogix

controllers retain the I/O module configuration and are able to download the configuration to the replacement module. SmartGuard controllers do not retain the I/O module configuration, so you must use RSNetWorx™ for DeviceNet®

software to download the configuration to the replacement module.

The Safety Network Number Replacing a safety I/O module that sits on a CIP Safety™ network is more

complicated than replacing standard devices because of the safety network

number (SNN). The DeviceID of the safety module is composed of the module number and SNN. Safety devices require this more complex identifier to make sure that duplicate module numbers do not compromise communication

between the correct safety devices.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1734-UM013Q-EN-P – April 2024 131

Replacing POINT Guard I/O Modules

This simplified example shows Guard I/O™ modules on a DeviceNet network. Your products can differ, but the function is the same.

EXAMPLE The DeviceNet network supports 64 node numbers, so if you have 100 devices on multiple DeviceNet networks, there are at least 36

duplicate node numbers being used. Eventhough the duplicate nodes are on separate DeviceNet networks, it must still be considered in a safety system.

In this example, the DNB scanner #1 is connected to node 5. The DNB scanner #2 is connected to another node 5. If the cables get inadvertently crossed, the scanners can be communicating with the incorrect node 5.

Crossed Cables

DNB

This crossed-cable scenario is unacceptable for a safety system. The SNN provides unique identification of every safety device. In this next example, all devices that are connected to DNB scanner #1 have an SNN of 100. All devices that are connected to DNB scanner #2 have an SNN of 101. If the cables get inadvertently crossed, the node connected to DNB scanner #1 changes from 100/5 to 101/5. The node that is connected to DNB scanner #2 changes from 101/5 to 100/5. Therefore, the safety connections are not made if the cables get crossed.

Connections Not Made

Connections are not made.

SNN 101

Set the Safety Network

Number

The previous examples showed how the SNN is used to provide safety-

connection integrity after the system is operational. But the SNN is also used to provide integrity on the initial download to the POINT Guard I/Omodule.

If a safety signature exists, then the POINT Guard I/O module must have a

proper SNN/node number identification that matches the module within the safety controller project, before it can receive its configuration. And to keep

integrity, the SNN setting of the module is required to be a manual action. This manual action is to use the ‘set’ function on an out-of-box POINT Guard I/O module.

Replacing POINT Guard I/O Modules

Replace a Module with ‘Configure Only When No Safety Signature Exists’ Enabled

When a module is replaced, the configuration downloads from the safety controller if the DeviceID of the new module matches the original. The DeviceID is a combination of the node/IP address and the safety network number (SNN) and is updated whenever the SNN is set.

If the project is configured as ‘Configure Only When No Safety Signature Exists’, follow the appropriate instructions in Table 14 to replace a POINT Guard I/O module that is based on your scenario. Once you have completed the steps in the scenario correctly, the DeviceID matches the original. This match enables the

safety controller to download the proper module configuration, andre-establish the safety connection.

If the configuration matches the original DNT file, the SNN and

configuration signature now match that of the original. If you are already connected to the controller, a connection is made. The controller does not need to be taken out of Run mode to download to the replacement

module.

If you download this configuration to a temporary setup, place the module on the network and it automatically connects to the controller.

If the configuration downloaded to the module was not from the original DNT file, the configuration signature does not match the original. Even if you recreate the same parameters in a new DNT file, the time and date

portions of the signature are different so the connection to the controller is not made. If this situation occurs, click the Safety Connection tab for the controller that prompted you that the configuration signature is different and provides you with the option to match the new configuration

signature. However, you must first revalidate the safety system because it is not using the original DNT file.

7. Click Yes.

This selection takes the controller out of Run mode and prompts you to download the changes.

8. Click Yes to download the new connection configuration to the SmartGuard controller.

After the download is complete, place the controller back in Run mode and the connection to the replacement module is established.

Safety Data

This appendix lists calculated values for probability of a dangerous failure (PFD), average frequency of a dangerous failure per hour (PFH), and mean time to

failure (MTTF). PFD and PFH calculations comply with IEC61508, edition 2, 2010.

Calculated values of PFD and PFH appear in the table. Both must be calculated for the devices within the system to comply with the SIL level that is required for application.

To assess Performance Levels in their safety system, you must be responsible for following the requirements of ISO 13849-1:2008.

You must functionally test every I/O module by individually toggling each input point and also verify that the controller detects it within the safety reaction time.

Additionally, you must individually toggle each output point by the controller and user-verified that the output point changes state.

For more information, see these publications.

Use Data from Modules

Configured Via the Generic Profile

To use I/O assembly data from a 1734-IE4S module that is configured via the Generic Profile in your application program, you must first combine the input data from two SINTs into one INT. The following example shows one method for converting the data by using a Move instruction and a Bit Field Distribute instruction.

EXAMPLE This example uses Input Assembly Instance 802, which is described on

page 172.

• POINTGuardAnalogMod.I.Data[0] = Channel 0 Low Byte (SINT)

• POINTGuardAnalogMod.I.Data[1] = Channel 0 High Byte (SINT)

• CH0_Data = Combined Channel 0 data (INT) that can be used in an application program
