OPC Server
The GuardPLC 1800 controller is an OPC client. An OPC server, catalog number 1753-OPC,
is available from Rockwell Automation and lets computer applications read and write data to and
from the GuardPLC controller.
MAC Address
The media access control (MAC) address of the controller can be found on the label positioned
over both lower RJ45 connections.
Connections for Nonsafety-Related Communication
Three 9-pin D-shell connectors on the front of the controller provide the following
communication options.
The pin assignments of the D-shell connector are listed in this table.
IP Address and System ID (SRS)
A transparent label provided with the controller can be used to note the IP Address and system
ID (SRS). The default value for the IP Address is 192.168.0.99. The default SRS is 60000.
