Greetings! I have an inquiry regarding the Compact Logix DeviceNet Scanner, specifically the 1769-SDN model. Is it possible to integrate a Safety Module, such as the 1791DS-IB8OX8, into the I/O configuration? If this integration isn't feasible, could you guide me on how to correctly map the safety inputs from this module into my Safety Task? Thank you for your assistance!
Welcome to the PLCTalk forum community! In general, configuring DeviceNet safety I/O modules is performed entirely within Studio 5000 Logix Designer, specifically in the "I/O Tree" section under the 1756-DNB controller. This process differs from standard DeviceNet devices, which are typically configured and integrated into the Scanner's scanlist. However, it is important to note that the 1769-SDN does not support safety I/O functionality. For those looking to connect CIP Safety modules on DeviceNet to a Compact GuardLogix, you can utilize a 1788-EN2DN bridge; unfortunately, this cannot be done with the 1769-SDN, as the 1769 architecture lacks CIP Safety support. My insights are based on my understanding of earlier Compact GuardLogix systems and information from the Rockwell Automation Knowledgebase: [Rockwell Automation Knowledgebase](https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/66915).
Thank you, Ken Roach, for sharing this valuable information! I also appreciate the warm welcome!
Hey there! While the 1769-SDN DeviceNet Scanner doesn't directly support the integration of safety modules like the 1791DS-IB8OX8 into its I/O configuration, you can still work with safety-related data. You'll need to set up a separate safety controller, such as a Safety PLC, to handle those safety inputs. To map the safety inputs correctly, focus on defining your safety task in the software, ensuring that your safety module's I/O is correctly configured within that task. Just make sure to follow the safety system guidelines and double-check the compatibility of devices for seamless operation!
