    [ Chemical Machinery Equipment Network Star Enterprise ] On February 2, 2021, Rockwell Automation's two new intelligent security products allow manufacturers to harness the power of data, thereby greatly improving the level of security compliance and performance.

     
    Chemical machinery and equipment network star enterprise chemical machinery and equipment
    The new Allen-Bradley SafeZone 3 laser scanner adopts the CIP Safety protocol based on EtherNet/IP, and the Allen-Bradley GuardShield 450L light curtain is equipped with the CIP Safety protocol plug-in based on EtherNet/IP.
    These two products support users to access the key data needed.
    , And then help users to fully understand the status of the machine or production line.
    Smart machines blessed by these devices can feed back meaningful information, allowing users to monitor machine health, increase uptime, increase flexibility, enhance safety, and reduce total cost of ownership.

     

    These smart devices can also provide diagnostic information, which in turn provides valuable insights.
    For example, where safety-related failures occur, and whether workers follow standard operating procedures, etc.
    Users can rely on these insights to improve the efficiency and sustainability of production equipment.
    .

     

    "For many manufacturers, this new way of understanding safety conditions will not only help ensure the safety of people and processes, but also greatly increase productivity.
    " Rockwell Automation's vice president and vice president of the sensing, safety and industrial components business General Manager Lee Lane said, “Traditional safety equipment either does not provide data or provides very little data.
    Smart safety equipment can provide higher operational visibility and help users understand process status, environmental conditions and other impacts on safety and productivity.
    the elements of.
    "
     

      The new SafeZone 3 laser scanner is equipped with CIP Safety function, which can provide area detection in the work cell.
    The addition of the CIP Safety function allows users to operate multiple safety areas at the same time without switching between different areas.
    It also extends the scanner's field of view and provides important diagnostic data through a single EtherNet/IP connection.

     

      This feature can improve productivity, such as alerting workers when they are approaching danger to help prevent the machine from slowing down or stopping.
    In addition, the CIP Safety function expands the range of available diagnostic data and can alert users to common faults such as dust on the scanner lens.

     

      The GuardShield 450L light curtain is equipped with a CIP Safety protocol plug-in based on EtherNet/IP, which can prevent workers from being injured due to dangerous machine movements.
    With the CIP Safety plug-in, users can more easily access diagnostic data, thereby increasing productivity and flexibility.

     

      For example, users can see exactly the light beam triggered on the light curtain and better understand the cause of a parking event.
    It is also possible to sample the light screen every 100 milliseconds to track the outline of the product passing through the light screen and find potential quality problems.

     

      CIP Safety is an application layer protocol for EtherNet/IP: an extension of the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP).
    Smart products using technologies such as CIP Safety and GuardLink help improve safety and productivity and simplify wiring.
    In addition, by using the Studio 5000 Logix Designer application, source code level integration with the Allen-Bradley Compact GuardLogix SIL 3 control system can also be achieved.

     

      The above products, as well as smart products such as the 843ES safety encoder and the CompactBlock Guard Safety I/O universal encoder module, are part of the Rockwell Automation safety product portfolio.
    They have both simple connection and powerful data functions, which can help users Create a smarter and higher-performance production model.
