With the Allen-Bradley Compact GuardLogix 5370 controller from Rockwell Automation, separate networks and controllers are no longer required for safety and axis control in applications with up to 16 axes. The controller achieves Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL 3), Performance Level e (PLe) and Category 4. In combination with the Allen-Bradley 'Kinetix 5500' servo drive or the Allen-Bradley 'PowerFlex 527' frequency inverter, users have access to the integrated Safe Torque Off function in the Ethernet/IP network. The 'Studio 5000' software is used to configure the controller and to develop all elements of the control system. Thanks to the uniform programming environment for safety and standard control, it is no longer necessary to manage separate standard and safety memories. Partition logic for safety separation is also no longer required. The controller includes dual Ethernet ports that support both linear and DLR (device level ring) network topologies. Thanks to the integrated energy storage unit, batteries are no longer required. A plug-in SD card (Secure Digital) with 1 GByte improves data integrity.
