Communication Protocols

Supported industrial networks and field buses for the products covered by this publication.

EtherNet/IP Used for remote I/O access via a Compact 5000 EtherNet/IP adapter. Supports Unicast (default) and Multicast data transmission. Multicast is required for listen-only connections and redundancy systems. CIP / CIP Safety Modules use the Producer/Consumer network communication model over CIP. Safety I/O modules use CIP Safety for SIL-rated communication.

Certifications & Compliance

SIL 3 per IEC 61508 (type-approved and certified) SIL CL 3 per IEC 62061 Performance Level e (PLe), Category 4 per ISO 13849-1

Frequently Asked Questions

Which controllers support Compact 5000 safety I/O modules as local I/O?
Compact 5000 safety I/O modules can only be used as local I/O with a Compact GuardLogix 5380 controller. CompactLogix 5380 and CompactLogix 5480 controllers do not support local safety I/O modules.
What is the valid RPI range for standard and safety I/O modules?
Standard I/O modules support an RPI range of 0.2 to 750 ms. Safety I/O modules support an RPI range of 2 to 500 ms.
What safety ratings do the Compact 5000 safety I/O modules carry?
The safety I/O modules are type-approved and certified for use in safety applications up to and including SIL 3 per IEC 61508, suitable for SIL CL 3 per IEC 62061, and suitable for Performance Level e (PLe), Category 4 per ISO 13849-1.
When is a 5069-FPD field potential distributor required?
A 5069-FPD is required when AC-type and DC-type modules must be isolated on separate SA power buses, when the collective SA power bus current draw exceeds 10 A, or when AC-type modules are used in a Compact GuardLogix 5380 system (which does not supply AC SA power). It passes MOD power bus signals through to the next module.
Can multiple controllers own a single Compact 5000 standard input module?
Multiple Logix 5000 controllers can connect to a standard input module as owner-controllers, provided they all maintain the same configuration and use a Data connection type. The first controller to connect owns the configuration. Standard output modules and safety I/O modules are restricted to one owner-controller.
What Studio 5000 Logix Designer version is required for safety I/O modules?
Safety I/O modules require Studio 5000 Logix Designer application version 32.00.00 or later. Standard I/O modules are supported from version 28.00.00 or later, with the minimum version varying by controller catalog number.
How is the Connection Reaction Time Limit determined for safety I/O modules?
By default the Connection Reaction Time Limit is four times the RPI. Using the default Timeout Multiplier of 2 and Network Delay Multiplier of 200 creates a worst-case input connection reaction time limit of 4x the RPI and an output connection reaction time limit of 3x the RPI.
