6. In the Connection Browser, expand the AB_VBP-1 Virtual Chassis and select the Guardmaster 440C-CR30- 22BBB. 7. Click OK. 8. Click Yes to change from Run to Program mode. 9. When the download is complete, click Yes to change from Program to Run mode. Rockwell Automation Publication SAFETY-AT134B-EN-P - November 2015...
Additionally, each safety function must achieve a CAT. 3 rating or better. The Performance Level and Category achieved by each subsystem of the Lifeline 4 cable pull switch safety function, as calculated by SISTEMA, is shown below. Rockwell Automation Publication SAFETY-AT134B-EN-P - November 2015...
Page 20
Calculation of the 440C-CR30 relay subsystem is straightforward. Its relevant safety data is automatically entered into SISTEMA when it is selected from the Rockwell Automation SISTEMA library. The calculation for the Lifeline 4 cable pull switch input subsystem, and the 100S contactor output subsystem is different.

In this application, the E-stop is required for intended use in the case of unforseeable failure or forseeable misuse of the machine. It is common practice, due to the E-stop's complementary function and the high reliability demonstrated in wide, extensive use, to allow the E-stop to be used in systems requiring a PLe.
