Rockwell Automation CIP Safety over EtherNet/IP safety light curtains

Allen-Bradley 450L GuardShield safety light curtains include CIP Safety over EtherNet/IP, which provides smart safety within a Connected Enterprise as well as rich data from the plant floor. The safety light curtains support linear, star and DLR networks and are well-suited for applications in which safe, easy and frequent access to the machine is required. Unlike traditional safety light curtains, which are based on separate transmitter and receiver units, these light curtains employ technology that allows each transceiver to be used as a transmitter or receiver via a plug-in module. The 450L-E option provides integrated laser alignment, cascading, blanking and integrated muting.
