Allen-Bradley 440R Series – Guardmaster® Safety Relays (English Overview)

The 440R family is Allen-Bradley’s Guardmaster® line of safety relays certified to EN ISO 13849-1 (up to PL e) and IEC 61508 / EN 62061 (up to SIL 3). They monitor E-stops, gate switches, light curtains, safety mats, interlocks, and speed sensors, providing safe shutdown or zone isolation for machines.

1. Product Sub-families  

   • 440R-SI / CI (Single-function)  

     – 22.5 mm DIN-rail housing, screw or spring terminals.  

     – 24 V DC supply, 2 safety NO contacts + 1 signaling contact.  

     – Rotary switches set auto / manual / monitored reset and AND/OR logic—no software.


   • 440R-EMD (Expansion / Time-delay)  

     – Adds 4 instantaneous or delayed outputs (0…30 s) to SI/CI.  

     – Cascadable for multi-zone control while maintaining SIL 3 / PL e.


   • 440R-MSR6R / T (Speed-monitoring)  

     – 6 A contacts, 24 V DC, built-in PNP/NPN encoder input for zero-speed or overspeed detection.


   • GuardLink versions (440R-ENET, 440R-CCL, etc.)  

     – Single-cable daisy-chain links GuardLink devices; dynamic-pulse protocol keeps SIL 3 / PL e.  

     – Diagnostic and I/O data via EtherNet/IP, CIP Safety, or CC-Link IE Field.


2. Common Specifications  

   • Contact sets: 2–3 safety NO + 1 NC auxiliary (dual-channel cross-monitoring on selected models).  

   • Removable spring or screw terminals for quick replacement.  

   • Ambient: –5…+55 °C, 90 % RH non-condensing; 10 g shock, 10…55 Hz vibration.  

   • Certifications: c-UL-us, CE, C-Tick, TÜV SIL 3 / PL e / Cat 4.


3. Typical Applications  

   • E-stop circuits: one 440R-SI monitors dual-channel E-stop buttons.  

   • Safety gate interlocking with 440G-MT switches.  

   • Zero- or over-speed protection using MSR6R/T.  

   • Partitioned production lines: GuardLink reduces wiring by ~70 %.


4. Selection Guide  

   • Simple single function → 440R-SI/CI (suffix 17/18/19 for terminal / coil options).  

   • Need delayed or multiple outputs → 440R-EMD.  

   • Need speed monitoring → 440R-MSR6R/T.  

   • Need networked diagnostics → GuardLink series (440R-ENET, 440R-CCL).
