DeviceNet™
Complete system monitoring on DeviceNet™ fieldbus networks. The MicroGuard® controller family is fully compatible with the DeviceNet™ fieldbus and can be connected directly into the fieldbus for non-safety monitoring of system status. DeviceNet™ is the leading low-cost communications link that connects a wide range of automated manufacturing devices for greater usability and convenience. Multiple MicroGuard® controllers can be networked with numerous other devices on a single DeviceNet™ network. Add suffix DN to controller part number for this optional feature.

Remote Status Display (RSD)™
The optional Remote Status Display (RSD)™ may be used in conjunction with the MicroGuard DIN-rail Controller. The RSD provides the machine operator and front line supervisor immediate system status and diagnostics when the DIN-rail Controller is mounted inside the machine control panel. The RSD™ diagnostic operator interface can also control all blanking options if that style light curtain is used.

Remote Status Display (RSD)™ Components:

• Red/Green indicator lights
• Diagnostic scrolling message display with 5’ of connector cable
• Keyed selector switch and yellow blanking active indicator supplied if blanking is used

The RSD™ components are mounted on a steel plate and are designed to be exterior panel mounted. The RSD™ option enhances safety and is a time saver at machine set-up and when maintenance diagnostics are required.
