System Overview
Selecting Communication
Networks
The GuardLogix controller supports communication that lets it do the
following:
• Distribute and control Safety I/O on DeviceNet or EtherNet/IP networks
• Distribute and control remote Safety I/O on DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, or
ControlNet networks
• Produce and consume safety tag data between 1756 and 1768 GuardLogix
controllers across EtherNet/IP or ControlNet networks or within the
same ControlLogix chassis
• Distribute and control standard I/O on EtherNet, ControlNet, or
DeviceNet networks
Use these communication modules to provide an interface between GuardLogix
controllers and network devices.
The GuardLogix controller can connect to the Logix Designer application via a
USB connection, an EtherNet module, or a ControlNet module.
See the
Additional Resources on page 10
for more information on using network
communication modules.
