With GuardLink, security devices are easily connected in series, while providing easy access to individual device diagnostics. This system delivers security, diagnostics, remote reset, and lockout commands over a single four-conductor cable, supporting up to 32 devices per link. Furthermore, customers can reduce installation costs by up to 38 percent using GuardLink.
GuardLink technology integrates seamlessly with Allen-Bradley's Guardmaster safety relays and components, allowing users to access status information across their entire safety system. Connecting safety devices with GuardLink-enabled smart sockets and standard wiring to a Guardmaster safety relay provides enhanced system visibility, including individual safety doors and emergency stops.
The GuardLink security system integrates with the Logix platform using predefined label names in the Rockwell Software Studio 5000 application. Its simplified design and reduced cabling allow for easy plug-and-play installation.
