The Allen-Bradley Compact GuardLogix 5380 SIL 3 controller enables engineers to scale applications up to and including SIL 3/PLe performance with 1oo2 architecture. This option to right-size a safety control system to an application based on its safety assessment helps to reduce design and acquisition costs. The controller’s increased processing power can achieve faster reaction times and shorter safe distances, helping to create smaller machines and save floor space. Having one high-performance controller for both standard and safety control also helps to reduce system complexity and cabinet size and allows engineers to mix and match standard and safety I/O in the same chassis.
