Safety Application Scenarios
Deploy the 1734-IB8S in machinery requiring functional safety compliance. Connect emergency stop buttons, safety interlock switches, two-hand control stations, and safety mat sensors directly to this module. The integrated test pulse functionality enables continuous diagnostic monitoring of safety device wiring integrity without requiring external test equipment, reducing installation complexity while maintaining Category 4 / PLe safety architecture requirements.
System Integration Strategy
This safety input module mounts onto standard 1734-TOP terminal bases and communicates via 1734-AENTR EtherNet/IP adapters using CIP Safety protocol. Pair with standard I/O modules like the 1734-IB8 digital input module for mixed safety and standard control in a single distributed node, optimizing cabinet space and wiring costs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What safety certification does the 1734-IB8S hold?
A: The module is certified for SIL 3 per IEC 61508 and Performance Level e (PLe) per ISO 13849-1, suitable for the highest safety integrity applications in industrial machinery.
Q: Can I mix safety and standard I/O on the same adapter?
A: Yes, POINT I/O architecture allows mixing safety-rated modules like the 1734-IB8S with standard I/O modules on a single 1734-AENTR adapter, simplifying system design.
Q: What programming software is required?
A: Configuration requires Studio 5000 Logix Designer with the Safety Application Instruction Set and GuardLogix safety controller for safety logic programming.
Q: Does it support muting functions?
A: Yes, test pulse outputs can drive muting lamp indicators (5-25 mA range) for material flow applications requiring temporary safety function suspension during load transfer.
