Safety I/O

Guys what safety I/O are you using? I have been using 1768-L43S, 1768-ENBT, and I have only used 1734 AENT with both safety and statndard Point and it looks like a good standard setup so far. Just looking for other things that I might have missed in the AB arsenal. I am trying to stay away from DNET

I ASSuME that you can't use anyone else's Safety Ethernet I/O with AB processors because of the safety CIP packet. I haven't seen anyone do this yet but it never hurts to ask.

If it is a small count then I use the safety point IO or if there is other vanillia point IO that I need in the area or if there is a ton of safety stuff I use the guard IO blocks.

If it's distributed right you can use point in almost all cases IMHO.

Do you like the guard? I haven't use it yet.

are you talking about 1791ES blocks?

Yep
