GuardPLC 2000 Controller
Connections for safety- and non-safety-related communication are
described in the following sections.
Connections for Safety-Related Communication
To configure/program the GuardPLC system, the controller must be
connected on an Ethernet network to the RSLogix Guard PLUS!
programming terminal. The GuardPLC Ethernet network also provides
for peer-to-peer communication to distributed I/O and to other
controllers.
Connections for Non-Safety-Related Communication
Connect the ASCII port (FB2) to any RS-232 device that has the
capability to send ASCII command strings to the controller. The
controller replies with a data variable string. See Chapter
21 for more
information on ASCII communication.
