Safety Tag Mapping
Controller-scoped standard tags cannot be directly accessed by a safety routine.
To allow standard tag data to be used within safety task routines, the Compact
GuardLogix controllers provide a safety tag mapping feature that lets standard tag
values be copied into safety task memory.
Restrictions
Safety tag mapping is subject to these restrictions:
•
The safety tag and standard tag pair must be controller-scoped.
•
The data types of the safety and standard tag pair must match.
•
Alias tags are not allowed.
•
Mapping must take place at the whole tag level. For example, myTimer.pre
is not allowed if myTimer is a TIMER tag.
•
A mapping pair is one standard tag mapped to one safety tag.
•
You may not map a standard tag to a safety tag that has been designated as
a constant.
•
Tag mapping cannot be modified when the following is true:
–
The project is safety-locked.
–
A safety task signature exists.
–
The keyswitch is in RUN position.
–
A nonrecoverable safety fault exists.

ATTENTION: When using standard data in a safety routine, you are responsible for providing
a reliable means of ensuring that the data is used in an appropriate manner. Using standard
data in a safety tag does not make it safety data. You must not directly control a SIL 3/PLe
safety output with standard tag data.
