Information About 

The 1791DS-IB8XOB8 is part of the Allen-Bradley Guard I/O family, engineered to support DeviceNet Safety architectures in industrial automation environments. Its safety inputs support single-channel sensing for emergency stops, safety mats, switches, and other protective devices, while the solid-state outputs handle safety outputs such as contactor control or enabling circuits. The module also includes four test outputs used for pulse-testing external devices to detect shorts, faults, or wiring anomalies. Typical applications include machinery requiring SIL 3/Category 4 safety compliance, such as robotic cells, presses, assembly lines, and safety interlock networks.

Key Features

  • 8 Safety Inputs: Sinking configuration supporting devices requiring SIL 3 functional safety.
  • 8 Solid-State Outputs: Current sourcing outputs rated for 0.5 A per channel.
  • Four Test Outputs: Sourcing test pulse outputs for fault detection on input circuits.
  • DeviceNet Safety Communication: Ensures reliable, certified safety data exchange.
  • Integrated Diagnostics: Provides input, output, and test point status monitoring.
  • Wide Operating Temperature Range: Functions from –40 to 70 °C for demanding environments.
  • IP20 Open-Style Enclosure: Suitable for enclosure-mounted safety systems.
  • High Electrical Durability: Supports 20.4–26.4 VDC I/O power and up to 110 mA communication consumption.

The 1791DS-IB8XOB8 delivers the reliability and precision required for SIL 3–rated safety I/O integration in DeviceNet safety networks.

Frequently Asked Questions about 1791DS-IB8XOB8
Question: What is the 1791DS-IB8XOB8 module?
Date Update:11/06/2025
Answer:

It’s a safety-rated distributed I/O module that provides 8 safety-rated inputs and 8 safety-rated outputs. It’s designed to interface with safety devices like emergency stop buttons, light curtains, or safety interlocks, and to control safety-rated output devices.

Question: What is the safety integrity level (SIL) rating?
Date Update:11/06/2025
Answer:

The module supports applications up to SIL 3 / PLe according to IEC 61508 and ISO 13849-1 safety standards.

Question: What is the wiring configuration?
Date Update:11/06/2025
Answer:
  • Inputs: Each of the 8 safety-rated inputs has a dedicated terminal and shares a common return.
  • Outputs: 8 solid-state outputs are individually protected and have shared 24V DC supply and common returns.
  • Wiring to the module is typically done through a removable terminal block (RTB) to simplify maintenance.
Question: How is it configured and integrated?
Date Update:11/06/2025
Answer:
  • It’s configured via the Studio 5000 Logix Designer software using CIP Safety Add-On Profiles (AOP).
  • The module’s EDS file (electronic data sheet) allows easy integration into the safety network.
  • You define safety input and output mapping within your GuardLogix safety task.

Question: What is the enclosure/environmental rating?
Date Update:11/06/2025
Answer:

The module has an IP20 rating, intended for installation inside a protective enclosure that meets the required environmental conditions.
