Overview
The Allen-Bradley 440S-SLF8D is a GuardLink-enabled safety relay tap component designed to simplify the integration of safety devices in machine control systems. As part of the GuardLink system, it allows simultaneous or individual lock and unlock of guard locking interlocks in series-connected safety applications. No additional wire from the machine control system is required to lock and unlock the safety gate.
