Allen Bradley 440C-CR30 Safety PLC. Reviewing the Getting Started Program

[@anddrewb1367]

If possible I would love to see how a plc and a saftey plc work in conjunction with each other

[@TimWilborne]

Working on it Anddrew. That is what I added the Ethernet option to the CR30 for 👍

[@michaelcostello6991]

Really great video. Thanks Can you upload the PLC program through a serial cable to a computer if the plc does not have an Ethernet module ? Is it easy to do ?

[@TimWilborne]

There is a USB port on the CR30s that makes it very easy to upload

[@AidanO90]

Superb, as usual.

[@TimWilborne]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@michaelcostello6991]

Have you done videos on programming this plc like you mentioned you planned to do

[@TimWilborne]

No, there wasn't as much interest as I expected.

[@nisrnisr5980]

hi tim thanks for your great content What is the difference between safety plc and standard plc?

[@TimWilborne]

Traditionally safety PLCs have included more redundancy and a limited instruction set specifically intended for safety functions where as regular PLCs have less redundancy and a greater non-safety related instruction set. There are some regular PLCs that have safety built into them also.

Just started reading reading the User Manual but found it too difficult to comprehend.

[@TimWilborne]

Yes, it is an in depth subject when you start talking about SIL ratings.
