The SC22-3 Safety Controller from Banner Engineering is an easy-to-configure safety module that incorporates numerous input devices and manages multiple safety-related functions. The flexible controller replaces multiple dedicated safety modules to integrate E-stop buttons, interlocking switches, safety light screens, two-hand controls, safety mats, rope pulls and many other devices for a powerful, cost-effective safety solution. The device features 22 input terminals, which monitor both contact-based and PNP solid-state input devices. Each input circuit is configurable to monitor an input signal or provide 24V d.c. sources when needed.
The safety controller can be simply configured using Banner’s intuitive PC Interface or the module’s built-in LCD display and pushbuttons. The controller’s click-and-go system offers simple configuration for safeguarding functions via a supported Windows computer or by using the XM card and programming tool.
The equipment meets industry standards including the Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3 per IEC 62061 and IEC 61508, and Category 4 Performance Level (PL e) per ISO 13849-1.
The SC22-3 allows users to perform muting, bypassing and additional functions, and provides extensive diagnostics and the versatility to accommodate a wide range of input devices from Banner or other manufacturers. Users can quickly create and document even complex safety logic configurations, incorporating multiple safety inputs and outputs in minutes.
The controller is designed for integrating light curtains, muting functions, ON/OFF switches, and other safety and non-safety input devices. It is suited for a wide variety of uses in guarding entry/exit points, operator load/unload applications, and other applications where operator and machine safety is critical.
