1.3 EU Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
Banner Engineering Corp. herewith declares that the SC26-2 Programmable Safety Controller, XS26-2 Programmable
Safety Controller, XS2so and XS4so Solid-State Safety Output Modules, XS8si and XS16si Safety Input Modules, XS1ro
and XS2ro Safety Relay Modules, and SC10-2 Safety Controller is in conformity with the provisions of the Machinery
Directive 2006/42/EC and EMC Directive 2004/108/EC and all essential health and safety requirements have been met.
Representative in EU: Peter Mertens, Managing Director Banner Engineering Europe. Address: Park Lane, Culliganlaan 2F,
bus 3,1831 Diegem, Belgium.
Safety control is a critical and required part of any safety system. This is because safety controllers ensure that your safety
measures 1) do not fail, or 2) if failure is inevitable, fail in a predictable safe way.
A safety controller is often an ideal safety control solution, because it provides more functionality than a safety relay, at a
lower cost than a safety PLC. In addition, a smart, scalable safety controller can expand with your needs as well as enable
remote monitoring of your machine safety systems.
Banner Safety Controllers are easy-to-use,
multiple safety and non-safety input devices, providing safe stop and start functions for machines with hazardous motion.
The Safety Controller can replace multiple safety relay modules in applications that include such safety input devices as Estop buttons, interlocking gate switches, safety light curtains, two-hand controls, safety mats, and other safeguarding
devices. The Safety Controller may also be used in place of larger and more complex safety PLCs with the use of additional
input and/or output expansion modules.

•
Design and edit configurations
• Test a
• Write a
• Read the current configuration from the Safety Controller
• Display the real-time information, such as device statuses

on page 73 for details.
2.3 USB Connections
The micro USB port on the Base Controller and the SC10-2 is used to connect to the PC (via the SC-USB2 cable) and the
SC-XM2/3 drive to read and write
CAUTION: Potential for Unintended Ground Return Path
The USB interface is implemented in an industry standard way and is not isolated from the 24 V supply.
The USB cable makes it possible for the computer and safety controller to become part of an unintended
ground return path for other connected equipment. A large current could damage the PC and/or the
Safety Controller. To minimize this possibility, Banner recommends that the USB cable is the only cable
connected to the PC. This includes disconnecting the AC power supply to a laptop whenever possible.
The USB interface is intended for downloading configurations and temporary monitoring or
troubleshooting. It is not designed for continuous use.
Ethernet connections are made using an Ethernet cable connected from the Ethernet port of the Base Safety Controller
(Ethernet models only) or SC10-2 to a network switch or to the control or monitoring device. The Safety Controller supports
either the standard or crossover-style cables. A shielded cable may be needed in high-noise environments.
2.5 Internal Logic
The Safety Controller’s internal logic is designed so that a Safety Output can turn On only if all the controlling safety input
device signals and the Safety Controller’s self-check signals are in the Run state and report that there is no fault condition.
The Banner Safety Controller Software uses both Logic and Safety Function blocks for simple and more advanced
applications.
Logic Blocks are based on Boolean (True or False) logic laws. The following Logic Blocks are available:
NOT
•
• AND
• OR
• NAND
• NOR
• XOR
• Flip Flop (Set priority and Reset priority)

FID 1 and FID 2 XS26 Base Modules can be used in the same application, however steps must be taken to ensure
compatibility. See the side label on the module (
to determine whether a particular device is FID 1 or FID 2. PROFINET, virtual non-safety inputs, delay blocks, and some
virtual status outputs are not compatible with FID 1 devices. In order to have one configurationfile that applies to both FID 1
and FID 2 devices, create configurations without using these features. Confirm all configurations after loading to ensure that
they are correct.

3.4 Input and Output Connections
3.4.1 XS/SC26-2 Safety and Non-Safety Input Devices
The Base Controller has 26 input terminals that can be used to monitor either safety or non-safety devices; these devices
may incorporate either solid-state or contact-based outputs. Some of the input terminals can be configured to either source
24 V dc for monitoring contacts or to signal the status of an input or an output. The function of each input circuit depends
on the type of the device connected; this function is established during the controller configuration.
The FID 2 Base Controller also supports non-safety virtual inputs.
The expansion modules XS8si and XS16si add additional inputs to the Safety Controller System.
Contact Banner Engineering for additional information about connecting other devices not described in this manual.
3.4.2 XS/SC26-2 Safety Outputs
The Safety Outputs are designed to control Final Switching Devices (FSDs) and Machine Primary Control Elements (MPCEs)
that are the last elements (in time) to control the dangerous motion. These control elements include relays, contactors,
solenoid valves, motor controls, and other devices that typically incorporate force-guided (mechanically-linked) monitoring
contacts, or electrical signals needed for external device monitoring.
The Safety Controller has two independently controlled and redundant solid-state Safety Outputs (terminals SO1a & SO1b,
and SO2a & SO2b). The Safety Controller’s self-checking algorithm ensures that the outputs turn On and Off at the
appropriate times, in response to the assigned input signals.
Each redundant solid-state Safety Output is designed to work either in pairs or as two individual outputs. When controlled
in pairs, the Safety Outputs are suitable for Category 4 applications; when acting independently, they are suitable for
applications up to Category 3 when appropriate fault exclusion has been employed (see
(Protective) Stop Circuits

Safety Outputs
monitoring, single/dual-channel Safety Stop Circuits, and configuring Safety Outputs.
Additional solid-state or safety relay outputs can be added to expandable models (XS26-2xx) of the Base Controller by
incorporating expansion output modules (XS2so, XS4so, XS1ro, and XS2ro). Up to eight expansion modules, in any
combination of input or output modules, can be added.
The Safety Outputs can be controlled by input devices with both automatic and manual reset operation.

Safety
Figure 2. Safety Outputs (Example Application)
Functional Stops according to IEC 60204-1 and ANSI NFPA79
The Safety Controller is capable of performing two functional stop types:
• Category 0: an uncontrolled stop with the immediate removal of power from the guarded machine
• Category 1: a controlled stop with a delay before power is removed from the guarded machine
Delayed stops can be used in applications where machines need power for a braking mechanism to stop the hazardous
motion.
3.4.3 XS/SC26-2 Status Outputs and Virtual Status Outputs
The Base Controller has eight convertible I/Os (labeled IOx) that can be used as Status Outputs which have the capability to
send non-safety status signals to devices such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs) or indicator lights. In addition, any
unused Safety Output terminals may be configured to perform a Status Output function with the benefit of higher current
capacity (see
on page 16 for more information). For the solid state safety outputs configured as
XS/SC26-2 and SC10-2 Safety Controllers
status outputs, the safety test pulses stay enabled even when designated as a status output. The Status Output signal
convention can be
on the specific functions of a Status Output.
Ethernet models, using the Software, can be configured for up to 64 Virtual Status Outputs on FID 1 Base Controllers and
up to 256 virtual status outputs on FID 2 Base Controllers. These outputs can communicate the same information as the
status outputs over the network. See
configured to be 24 V dc or 0 V dc. See
Virtual Status Outputs
WARNING:
• Status Outputs and Virtual Status Outputs are not safety outputs and can fail in either the On or
the Off state.
If a Status Output or a Virtual Status Output is used to control a safety-critical application, a
•
failure to danger is possible and may lead to serious injury or death.
• Never use a Status Output or Virtual Status Output to control any safety-critical applications.
Automatic Terminal Optimization (ATO) is a standard feature on all XS/SC26-2 models. This feature automatically combines
up to two I/O terminals for two devices that require +24 V test pulses from the Safety Controller. When applicable, the
Software automatically does this for every pair of devices that are added, until I/O terminals are no longer available. Sharing
is limited to two because the screw-type terminals are capable of accepting up to two wires.
Manually reassign terminals in the device properties window, if preferred.
The following figures illustrates the XS/SC26-2 ATO feature optimizing terminals for two gate switches. This results in a total
terminal usage of six, versus eight if it ATO is not utilized. The first gate switch (GS1) is added. This is a dual channel, fourwire gate switch that requires two independent +24 V pulsed outputs from the Safety Controller. IO1 is assigned as +24 V
test pulse 1 which runs through channel 1 of GS1 to IN1. IO2 is assigned as +24 V test pulse 2 which runs through channel
2 of GS1 to IN2. When the second gate switch GS2 is added, it also uses IO1 and IO2 but uses IN3 and IN4 to monitor its
two channels.
Banner's SC10-2 configurable safety relay controller is an easy-to-use
and cost effective alternative to safety relay modules. It replaces the
functionality and capability of two independent safety relay modules while
offering the configurability, simplicity, and advanced diagnostics
capabilities offered by the rest of the Banner Safety Controller line-up.

Connection points are push-in spring clamp connectors.
Wire Size: 24 to 14 AWG, 0.2 mm² to 2.08 mm²
Important: Clamp terminals are designed for one wire only. If more than one wire is connected to a
terminal, a wire could loosen or become completely disconnected from the terminal, causing a short.
Use a stranded wire or a wire with an accompanying ferrule. Tinned wires are not recommended.
After inserting the wire into the terminal, tug the wire to make sure it is properly retained. If the wire is not
retained, consider using a different wiring solution.
Over time, Banner adds new features to some devices. The Feature ID (FID) identifies the set of features and functions
included in a particular model. Generally, an increasing FID number corresponds to an increasing feature set. A
configuration using a higher numbered FID feature is not supported by a Safety Controller of a lower FID.
SC10-2 Safety Controllers are FID 1.

4.4 Input and Output Connections
4.4.1 SC10-2 Safety and Non-Safety Input Devices
The SC10-2 has 10 input terminals that can be used to monitor either safety or non-safety devices; these devices may
incorporate either solid-state or contact-based outputs.
Some of the input terminals can be
input or an output. The function of each input circuit depends on the type of the device connected; this function is
established during the controller configuration.
4.4.2 SC10-2 Safety Relay Outputs
The SC10-2 has two, three-channel, normally open (N.O.), safety relay outputs.
The Safety Outputs are designed to control Final Switching Devices (FSDs) and Machine Primary Control Elements (MPCEs)
that are the last elements (in time) to control the dangerous motion. These control elements include relays, contactors,
solenoid valves, motor controls, and other devices that may also incorporate force-guided (mechanically-linked) monitoring
contacts, or electrical signals needed for external device monitoring (EDM).
Functional Stops according to IEC 60204-1 and ANSI NFPA79
The Safety Controller is capable of performing two functional stop types:
•
Category 0: an uncontrolled stop with the immediate removal of power from the guarded machine
• Category 1: a controlled stop with a delay before power is removed from the guarded machine
Delayed stops can be used in applications where machines need power for a braking mechanism to stop the hazardous
motion.
configured to either source 24 V dc for monitoring contacts or to signal the status of an
4.4.3 SC10-2 Status Outputs and Virtual Status Outputs
Using the Software, the SC10-2 can be configured for up to 256 virtual status outputs to communicate information over the
network. These outputs have the capability to send non-safety status signals to devices such as programmable logic
controllers (PLCs) or human machine interfaces (HMIs). See
The SC10-2 has four convertible I/Os (labeled IOx) that can be used as Status Outputs to directly control indicator lights or
be hard wired inputs to PLCs. These outputs communicate the same information as the virtual status outputs.
WARNING:
• Status Outputs and Virtual Status Outputs are not safety outputs and can fail in either the On or
the Off state.
If a Status Output or a Virtual Status Output is used to control a safety-critical application, a
•
failure to danger is possible and may lead to serious injury or death.
• Never use a Status Output or Virtual Status Output to control any safety-critical applications.
Automatic Terminal Optimization (ATO) Feature with External Terminal Blocks (ETB) is a standard feature on all SC10
models and is enabled by default.
The ATO feature can expand the 10 terminals on the SC10-2 to work with additional inputs by optimizing terminals and
using ETBs. As devices are added, deleted or edited, the Software automatically provides the optimum terminal assignment
to minimize wiring and maximize terminal utilization.
ATO is a smart feature that provides all available device types and configuration options as a configuration is created. After
all IN and I/O terminals are occupied and another device is added, ATO looks for devices that require +24 V test pulses
from the Safety Controller. These devices are combined via an External Terminal Block (ETB) to free up an I/O terminal.
Each ETB allows for up to three different devices to share a single I/O +24 V signal.
Disable ATO by editing the module properties of the SC10 in the Software, if preferred. ETBs will still be active, but you will
be required to re-assign I/O terminals manually as needed to fully optimize terminal utilization.

Safety Controller, contact Banner Engineering.
WARNING: Not a Stand-Alone Safeguarding Device
This Banner device is considered complementary equipment that is used to augment safeguarding that
limits or eliminates an individual's exposure to a hazard without action by the individual or others. Failure
to properly safeguard hazards according to a risk assessment, local regulations, and relevant standards
may lead to serious injury or death.
WARNING: User Is Responsible for Safe Application of this device
The application examples described in this document depict generalized guarding situations. Every
guarding application has a unique set of requirements.
Make sure that all safety requirements are met and that all installation instructions are followed. Direct
any questions regarding safeguarding to a Banner applications engineer at the number or addresses
listed this document.
WARNING: Read this Section Carefully Before Installing the System
The Banner Safety Controller is a control device that is intended to be used in conjunction with a
machine safeguarding device. Its ability to perform this function depends upon the appropriateness of
the application and upon the Safety Controller's proper mechanical and electrical installation and
interfacing to the machine to be guarded.
If all mounting, installation, interfacing, and checkout procedures are not followed properly, the Banner
Safety Controller cannot provide the protection for which it was designed. The user is responsible for
satisfying all local, state, and national laws, rules, codes, or regulations relating to the installation and use
of this control system in any particular application. Make sure that all safety requirements have been met
and that all technical installation and maintenance instructions contained in this document are followed.
7.2 XS/SC26-2 Applications
The Safety Controller can be used wherever
safety modules are used. The Safety
Controller is well suited to address many
types of applications, including, but not limited
to:
• Two-hand control with mute function
• Robot weld/processing cells with dualzone muting
• Material-handling operations that
require multiple inputs and bypass
functions
• Manually loaded rotary loading
stations
• Multiple two-hand-control station
applications
• Lean manufacturing stations
• Dynamic monitoring of single- or dualsolenoid valves or press safety valves
The SC10-2 Safety Controller is ideal for any small to medium size machine that would typically use two independent safety
relay modules.
Figure 12. SC10-2 Sample Application
7.4 Safety Input Devices
The Safety Controller monitors the state of the safety input devices that are connected to it. In general, when all of the input
devices that have been configured to control a particular Safety Output are in the Run sate, the Safety Output turns or
remains On. When one or more of the safety input devices change from Run state to Stop state, the Safety Output turns
Off. A few special safety input device functions can, under predefined circumstances, temporarily suspend the safety input
stop signal to keep the Safety Output On, for example, muting or bypassing.
The Safety Controller can detect input faults with certain input circuits that would otherwise result in a loss of the control of
the safety function. When such faults are detected, the Safety Controller turns the associated outputs Off until the faults are
cleared. The function blocks used in the configuration impact the safety outputs. It is necessary to carefully review the
configuration
Methods to eliminate or minimize the possibility of these faults include, but are not limited to:
• Physically separating the interconnecting control wires from each other and from secondary sources of power
• Routing interconnecting control wires in separate conduit, runs, or channels
• Locating all control elements (Safety Controller, interface modules, FSDs, and MPCEs) within one control panel,
• Properly installing multi-conductor cabling and multiple wires through strain-relief fittings. Over-tightening of a

WARNING: Input Device and Safety Integrity
The Safety Controller can monitor many different safety input devices. The user must conduct a Risk
Assessment of the guarding application to determine what Safety Integrity Level needs to be reached in
order to know how to properly connect the input devices to the Safety Controller. The user must also
take steps to eliminate or minimize possible input signal faults/failures that may result in the loss of the
safety functions.
7.4.1 Safety Circuit Integrity and ISO 13849-1 Safety Circuit Principles
Safety circuits involve the safety-related functions of a machine that minimize the level of risk of harm. These safety-related
functions can prevent initiation, or they can stop or remove a hazard. The failure of a safety-related function or its
associated safety circuit usually results in an increased risk of harm.
The integrity of a safety circuit depends on several factors, including fault tolerance, risk reduction, reliable and well-tried
components, well-tried safety principles, and other design considerations.
Depending on the level of risk associated with the machine or its operation, an appropriate level of safety circuit integrity
(performance) must be incorporated into its design. Standards that detail safety performance levels include ANSI B11.19
Performance Criteria for Safeguarding and ISO 13849-1 Safety-Related Parts of a Control System.
Safety Circuit Integrity Levels
Safety circuits in International and European standards have been segmented into Categories and Performance Levels,
depending on their ability to maintain their integrity in the event of a failure and the statistical likelihood of that failure. ISO
13849-1 details safety circuit integrity by describing circuit architecture/structure (Categories) and the required performance
level (PL) of safety functions under foreseeable conditions.
In the United States, the typical level of safety circuit integrity has been called "Control Reliability". Control Reliability
typically incorporates redundant control and self-checking circuitry and has been loosely equated to ISO 13849-1 Category
3 or 4 and/or Performance Level “d” or “e” (see ANSI B11.19).
Perform a risk assessment to ensure appropriate application, interfacing/hookup, and risk reduction (see ANSI B11.0 or ISO
12100). The risk assessment must be performed to determine the appropriate safety circuit integrity in order to ensure that
the expected risk reduction is achieved. This risk assessment must take into account all local regulations and relevant
standards, such as U.S. Control Reliability or European "C" level standards.
The Safety Controller inputs support up to Category 4 PL e (ISO 13849-1) and Safety Integrity Level 3 (IEC 61508 and IEC
62061) interfacing/hookup. The actual safety circuit integrity level is dependent on the configuration, proper installation of
external circuitry, and the type and installation of the safety input devices. The user is responsible for the determination of
the overall safety rating(s) and full compliance with all applicable regulations and standards.
The following sections deal only with Category 2, Category 3, and Category 4 applications, as described in ISO 13849-1.
The input device circuits shown in the table below are commonly used in safeguarding applications, though other solutions
are possible depending on fault exclusion and the risk assessment. The table below shows the input device circuits and the
safety category level that is possible if all of the fault detection and fault exclusion requirements are met.
WARNING: Risk Assessment
The level of safety circuit integrity can be greatly affected by the design and installation of the safety
devices and the means of interfacing of those devices. A risk assessment must be performed to
determine the appropriate level of safety circuit integrity to ensure the expected risk reduction is
achieved and all relevant regulations and standards are complied with.
WARNING: Input Devices with dual contact inputs using 2 or 3 terminals
Detection of a short between two input channels (contact inputs, but not complementary contacts) is not
possible, if the two contacts are closed. A short can be detected when the input is in the Stop state for at
least 2 seconds (see the INx & IOx input terminals Tip in
WARNING:
• Category 2 or 3 Input Shorts
It is not possible to detect a short between two input channels (contact inputs, but not
•
complementary contacts) if they are supplied through the same source (for example, the same
terminal from the Safety Controller in a dual-channel, 3-terminal hookup, or from an external 24 V
supply) and the two contacts are closed.
• Such a short can be detected only when both contacts are open and the short is present for at
least 2 seconds.
Safety Input Device Options
on page 29).
Fault Exclusion
An important concept within the requirements of ISO 13849-1 is the probability of the occurrence of a failure, which can be
reduced using a technique termed "fault exclusion." The rationale assumes that the possibility of certain well-defined
failure(s) can be reduced via design, installation, or technical improbability to a point where the resulting fault(s) can be, for
the most part, disregarded—that is, "excluded" in the evaluation.
Fault exclusion is a tool a designer can use during the development of the safety-related part of the control system and the
risk assessment process. Fault exclusion allows the designer to design out the possibility of various failures and justify it
through the risk assessment process to meet the requirements of ISO 13849-1/-2.
Requirements vary widely for the level of safety circuit integrity in safety applications (that is, Control Reliability or Category/
Performance Level) per ISO 13849-1. Although Banner Engineering always recommends the highest level of safety in any
application, it is the responsibility of the user to safely install, operate, and maintain each safety system and comply with all
relevant laws and regulations.
WARNING: Risk Assessment
The level of safety circuit integrity can be greatly affected by the design and installation of the safety
devices and the means of interfacing of those devices. A risk assessment must be performed to
determine the appropriate level of safety circuit integrity to ensure the expected risk reduction is
achieved and all relevant regulations and standards are complied with.
7.4.2 Safety Input Device Properties
The Safety Controller is
Inputs and Status Outputs
configured via the Software to accommodate many types of safety input devices. See
on page 62 for more information on input device configuration.
Reset Logic: Manual or Automatic Reset
A manual reset may be required for safety input devices by using a Latch Reset Block or configuring a safety output for a
latch reset before the safety output(s) they control are permitted to turn back On. This is sometimes referred to as “latch”
mode because the safety output “latches” to the Off state until a reset is performed. If a safety input device is configured for
automatic reset or “trip” mode, the safety output(s) it controls will turn back On when the input device changes to the Run
state (provided that all other controlling inputs are also in the Run state).
Connecting the Input Devices
The Safety Controller needs to know what device signal lines are connected to which wiring terminals so that it can apply
the proper signal monitoring methods, Run and Stop conventions, and timing and fault rules. The terminals are assigned
automatically during the configuration process and can be changed manually using the Software.
Signal Change-of-State Types
Two change-of-state (COS) types can be used when monitoring dual-channel safety input device signals: Simultaneous or
Concurrent.
Stop State—SO turns Off when3:Run State—SO turns On when4:
Simultaneous: A and B are both in the
Stop state and then both switch to the Run
state within 3 seconds before outputs turn
At least 1 channel (A or B) input is in the
Stop state.
At least 1 channel (A or B) within a pair of
contacts is in the Stop state.
One of the following conditions is met:
•
Input channels are shorted
together (normal operation)
•At least 1 of the wires is
disconnected
•One of the normally low
channels is detected high
•One of the normally high
channels is detected low
On.
Concurrent: A and B concurrently switch
to the Stop state, then both switch to the
Run state with no simultaneity to turn
outputs On.
Simultaneous: A and B are concurrently in
the Stop state, then the contacts within a
channel switch to the Run state within 400
ms (150 ms for two-hand control), both
channels are in the Run state within 3
seconds (0.5 seconds for two-hand
control).
Concurrent: A and B are concurrently in
the Stop state, then contacts within a
channel in the Run state within 3 seconds.
There is no simultaneity requirement
between the switching of channel A and
channel B.
Each channel detects its own pulses.
Signal Debounce Times
Closed-to-Open Debounce Time (from 6 ms to 1000 ms in 1 ms intervals, except 6 ms to 1500 ms for mute sensors). The
closed-to-open debounce time is the time limit required for the input signal to transition from the high (24 V dc) state to the
steady low (0 V dc) state. This time limit may need to be increased in cases where high-magnitude device vibration, impact
shock, or switch noise conditions result in a need for longer signal transition times. If the debounce time is set too short
under these harsh conditions, the system may detect a signal disparity fault and lock out. The default setting is 6 ms.
CAUTION: Debounce and Response
Any changes in the debounce times may affect the Safety Output response (turn Off) time. This value is
computed and displayed for each Safety Output when a configuration is created.
Open-to-Closed Debounce Time (from 10 ms to 1000 ms in 1 ms intervals, except 10 ms to 1500 ms for mute sensors). The
open-to-closed debounce time is the time limit required for the input signal to transition from the low (0 V dc) state to the
steady high (24 V dc) state. This time limit may need to be increased in cases where high magnitude device vibration,

7.5.1 Safety Circuit Integrity Levels
The application requirements for safeguarding devices vary for the level of control reliability or safety category per ISO
13849-1. While Banner Engineering always recommends the highest level of safety in any application, the user is
responsible to safely install, operate, and maintain each safety system and comply with all relevant laws and regulations.

assessment. See

7.5.2 Emergency Stop Push Buttons
The Safety Controller safety inputs may be used to monitor Emergency Stop (E-stop) push buttons.
WARNING:
• Do not mute or bypass any emergency stop device
Muting or bypassing the safety outputs renders the emergency stop function ineffective.
•
• ANSI B11.19, ANSI NFPA79 and IEC/EN 60204-1 require that the emergency stop function
remain active at all times.
WARNING: The Safety Controller Emergency Stop configuration prevents muting or bypassing of the Estop input(s). However, the user still must ensure that the E-stop device remains active at all times.
WARNING: Reset Routine Required
U.S. and international standards require that a reset routine be performed after clearing the cause of a
stop condition (for example, arming an E-stop button, closing an interlocked guard, etc.). Allowing the
machine to restart without actuating the normal start command/device can create an unsafe condition
which could result in serious injury or death.
In addition to the requirements stated in this section, the design and installation of the Emergency Stop device must comply
with ANSI NFPA 79 or ISO 13850. The stop function must be either a functional stop Category 0 or a Category 1 (see ANSI
NFPA79).
Emergency Stop Push Button Requirements
E-stop switch must provide one or two contacts for safety which are closed when the switch is armed. When activated, the
E-stop switch must open all its safety-rated contacts, and must require a deliberate action (such as twisting, pulling, or
unlocking) to return to the closed-contact, armed position. The switch must be a positive-opening (or direct-opening) type,
as described by IEC 60947-5-1. A mechanical force applied to such a button (or switch) is transmitted directly to the
contacts, forcing them to open. This ensures that the switch contacts open whenever the switch is activated.
Standards ANSI NFPA 79, ANSI B11.19, IEC/EN 60204-1, and ISO 13850 specify additional Emergency Stop switch device
requirements, including the following:
Emergency Stop push buttons must be located at each operator control station and at other operating stations
•
where emergency shutdown is required
• Stop and Emergency Stop push buttons must be continuously operable and readily accessible from all control and
operating stations where located. Do not mute or bypass any E-stop button
• Actuators of Emergency Stop devices must be colored red. The background immediately around the device
actuator must be colored yellow. The actuator of a push-button-operated device must be of the palm or mushroomhead type
• The Emergency Stop actuator must be a self-latching type
Note: Some applications may have additional requirements; the user is responsible to comply with all
relevant regulations.
7.5.3 Rope (Cable) Pull
Rope (cable) pull emergency stop switches use steel wire rope; they provide emergency stop actuation continuously
over a distance, such as along a conveyor.
Rope pull emergency stop switches have many of the same requirements as emergency stop push buttons, such as
positive (direct) opening operation, as described by IEC 60947-5-1. See
additional information.
In emergency stop applications, the rope pull switches must have the capability not only to react to a pull in any direction,
but also to a slack or a break of the rope. Emergency stop rope pull switches also need to provide a latching function that
requires a manual reset after actuation.
Rope (Cable) Pull Installation Guidelines
ANSI NFPA 79, ANSI B11.19, IEC/EN 60204-1, and ISO 13850 specify emergency stop requirements for rope (cable) pull
installations, including the following:
• Rope (cable) pulls must be located where emergency shutdown is required
• Rope (cable) pulls must be continuously operable, easily visible, and readily accessible. Do not mute or bypass
• Rope (cable) pulls must provide constant tension of the rope or cable pull
• The rope or cable pull, as well as any flags
• The rope or cable pull must have the capability to react to a force in any direction
• The switch must:
◦Have a self-latching function that requires a manual reset after actuation
◦Have a direct opening operation
◦Detect a slack condition or a break of the rope or cable
Additional installation guidelines:
• The wire rope should be easily accessible, red in color for E-Stop functions, and visible along its entire length.
Markers or
• Mounting points, including support points, must be rigid and allow
access
• The rope should be free of friction at all supports. Pulleys are recommended. Lubrication may be necessary.
Contamination of the system, such as dirt, metal chips or swarf, etc., must be prevented from adversely affecting
operation
• Use only pulleys (not eye bolts) when routing the rope around a corner or whenever direction changes, even slightly
• Never run rope through conduit or other tubing
• Never attach weights to the rope
• A tensioning spring is recommended to ensure compliance with direction-independent actuation of the wire rope
and must be installed on the load bearing structure (machine frame, wall, etc.)
• Temperature affects rope tension. The wire rope expands (lengthens) when temperature increases, and contracts
(shrinks) when temperature decreases. Significant temperature variations require frequent checks of the tension
adjustment
flags may be fixed on the rope to increase its visibility
or markers, must be colored Red

WARNING: Failure to follow the installation guidelines and procedures may result in the ineffectiveness or
non-operation of the Rope Pull system and create an unsafe condition resulting in a serious injury or
death.
7.5.4 Enabling Device
An enabling device is a manually operated control which, when continuously actuated, allows a machine cycle to be
initiated in conjunction with a start control. Standards that cover the design and application of enabling devices include: ISO
12100-1/-2, IEC 60204-1, ANSI/NFPA 79, ANSI/RIA R15.06, and ANSI B11.19.
The enabling device actively controls the suspension of a Stop signal during a portion of a machine operation where a
hazard may occur. The enabling device permits a hazardous portion of the machine to run, but must not start it. An enabling
device can control one or more safety outputs. When the enable signal switches from the Stop state to the Run state, the
Safety Controller enters the Enable mode. A separate machine command signal from another device is needed to start the
hazardous motion. This enabling device must have ultimate hazard turn Off or Stop authority.
A Protective (Safety) Stop is designed for the connection of miscellaneous devices that could include safeguarding
(protective) devices and complementary equipment. This stop function is a type of interruption of operation that allows an
orderly cessation of motion for safeguarding purposes. The function can be reset or activated either automatically or
manually.
Protective (Safety) Stop Requirements
The required safety circuit integrity level is determined by a risk assessment and indicates the level of control performance
that is acceptable, for example, category 4, Control Reliability (see
Principles
situation(s), and removing power from the machine actuators. This functional stop typically meets category 0 or 1 as
described by ANSI NFPA 79 and IEC60204-1.
on page 26). The protective stop circuit must control the safeguarded hazard by causing a stop of the hazardous
Safety Circuit Integrity and ISO 13849-1 Safety Circuit
7.5.6 Interlocked Guard or Gate
The Safety Controller safety inputs may be used to monitor electrically interlocked guards or gates.
Safety Interlock Switch Requirements
The following general requirements and considerations apply to the installation of interlocked guards and gates for the
purpose of safeguarding. In addition, the user must refer to the relevant regulations to ensure compliance with all necessary
requirements.
Hazards guarded by the interlocked guard must be prevented from operating until the guard is closed; a stop command
must be issued to the guarded machine if the guard opens while the hazard is present. Closing the guard must not, by itself,
initiate hazardous motion; a separate procedure must be required to initiate the motion. The safety interlock switches must
not be used as a mechanical or end-of-travel stop.
The guard must be located an adequate distance from the danger zone (so that the hazard has time to stop before the
guard is opened sufficiently to provide access to the hazard), and it must open either laterally or away from the hazard, not
into the safeguarded area. The guard also should not be able to close by itself and activate the interlocking circuitry. In
addition, the installation must prevent personnel from reaching over, under, around, or through the guard to the hazard. Any
openings in the guard must not allow access to the hazard (see OSHA 29CFR1910.217 Table O-10, ANSI B11.19, ISO
13857, ISO14120/EN953 or the appropriate standard). The guard must be strong enough to contain hazards within the
guarded area, which may be ejected, dropped, or emitted by the machine.
The safety interlock switches, actuators, sensors, and magnets must be designed and installed so that they cannot be
easily defeated. They must be mounted securely so that their physical position cannot shift, using reliable fasteners that
require a tool to remove them. Mounting slots in the housings are for initial adjustment only; final mounting holes must be
used for permanent location.
WARNING: Perimeter Guarding Applications
If the application could result in a pass-through hazard (for example, perimeter guarding), either the
safeguarding device or the guarded machine's MSCs/MPCEs must cause a Latched response following
a Stop command (for example, interruption of the sensing field of a light curtain, or opening of an
interlocked gate/guard). The reset of this Latched condition may only be achieved by actuating a reset
switch that is separate from the normal means of machine cycle initiation. The switch must be positioned
as described in this document.
Lockout/Tagout procedures per ANSI Z244.1 may be required, or additional safeguarding, as described
by ANSI B11 safety requirements or other appropriate standards, must be used if a passthrough hazard
cannot be eliminated or reduced to an acceptable level of risk. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in serious injury or death.
7.5.7 Optical Sensor
The Safety Controller safety inputs may be used to monitor optical-based devices that use light as a means of
When used as safeguarding devices, optical sensors are described by IEC61496-1/-2/-3 as Active Opto-electronic
Protective Devices (AOPD) and Active Opto-electronic Protective Devices responsive to Diffuse Reflection (AOPDDR).
AOPDs include safety light screens (curtains) and safety grids and points (multiple-/single-beam devices). These devices
generally meet Type 2 or Type 4 design requirements. A Type 2 device is allowed to be used in a Category 2 application,
per ISO 13849-1, and a Type 4 device can be used in a Category 4 application.
AOPDDRs include area or laser scanners. The primary designation for these devices is a Type 3, for use in up to Category 3
applications.
Optical safety devices must be placed at an appropriate safety distance (minimum distance), according to the application
standards. Refer to the applicable standards and to manufacturer documentation specific to your device for the appropriate
calculations. The response time of the Safety Controller outputs to each safety input is provided on the Configuration
Summary tab in the Software.
If the application includes a pass-through hazard (a person could pass through the optical device beams and stand
undetected on the hazard side), other safeguarding may be required, and manual reset should be selected (see
Reset Input
on page 42).
Manual
7.5.8 Two-Hand Control
The Safety Controller may be used as an initiation device for most powered machinery when machine cycling is
controlled by a machine operator.
The Two-Hand Control (THC) actuators must be positioned so that hazardous motion is completed or stopped before the
operator can release one or both of the buttons and reach the hazard (see
Distance)
The Safety Controller safety inputs used to monitor the actuation of the hand controls for two-hand control comply with the
functionality of Type III requirements of IEC 60204-1 and ISO 13851 (EN 574) and the requirements of ANSI NFPA79 and
ANSI B11.19 for two-hand control, which include:
on page 34).
• Simultaneous actuation by both hands within a 500 ms time frame
• When this time limit is exceeded, both hand controls must be released before operation is initiated
• Continuous actuation during a hazardous condition
• Cessation of the hazardous condition if either hand control is released
• Release and re-actuation of both hand controls to re-initiate the hazardous motion or condition (anti-tie down)
• The appropriate performance level of the safety-related function (Control Reliability, Category/Performance level, or
appropriate regulation and standard, or Safety Integration Level) as determined by a risk assessment
Two-Hand Control Safety Distance (Minimum
WARNING: Point-of-Operation Guarding
When properly installed, a two-hand control device provides protection only for the hands of the machine
operator. It may be necessary to install additional safeguarding, such as safety light screens, additional
two-hand controls, and/or hard guards, to protect all individuals from hazardous machinery.
Failure to properly guard hazardous machinery can result in a dangerous condition which could lead to
serious injury or death.
CAUTION: Hand Controls
The environment in which hand controls are installed must not adversely affect the means of actuation.
Severe contamination or other environmental
of mechanical or ergonomic buttons. This may result in exposure to a hazard.
The level of safety achieved (for example, ISO 13849-1 Category) depends in part on the circuit type selected.
Consider the following when installing hand controls:
Failure modes, such as a short circuit, a broken spring, or a mechanical seizure, that may result in not detecting the
•
release of a hand control
• Severe contamination or other environmental influences that may cause a slow response when released or false ON
condition of the hand control(s), for example, sticking of a mechanical linkage
• Protection from accidental or unintended operation, for example, mounting position, rings, guards, or shields
• Minimizing the possibility of defeat, for example, hand controls must be far enough apart so that they cannot be
operated by the use of one arm—typically, not less than 550 mm (21.7 in) in a straight line, per ISO 13851
• The functional reliability and installation of external logic devices
• Proper electrical installation per NEC and NFPA79 or IEC 60204
influences may cause slow response or false On conditions
CAUTION: Install Hand Controls to Prevent Accidental Actuation
Total protection for the two-hand control system from defeat is not possible. However, the user is
required by U.S. and International standards to arrange and protect hand controls to minimize the
possibility of defeat or accidental actuation.
CAUTION: Machine Control Must Provide Anti-Repeat Control
Appropriate anti-repeat control must be provided by the machine control and is required by U.S. and
International standards for single-stroke or single-cycle machines.
This Banner device can be used to assist in accomplishing anti-repeat control, but a risk assessment
must be accomplished to determine the suitability of such use.
Two-Hand Control Safety Distance (Minimum Distance)
The hand controls operator must not be able to reach the hazardous area with a hand or any other body part before the
machine motion ceases. Use the formula below to calculate the safety distance (minimum distance).
WARNING: Location of Touch Button Controls
Hand controls must be mounted a safe distance from moving machine parts, as determined by the
appropriate standard. It must not be possible for the operator or other non-qualified persons to relocate
them. Failure to establish and maintain the required safety distance could result in serious injury or death.
U.S. Applications

encroachment is eliminated, but the safety distance must always be 100 mm or greater
7.5.9 Safety Mat
The Safety Controller may be used to monitor pressure-sensitive safety mats and safety edges.
The purpose of the Safety Mat input of the Safety Controller is to verify the proper operation of 4-wire, presence-sensing
safety mats. Multiple mats may be connected in series to one Safety Controller, 150 ohms maximum per input (see
Mat Hookup Options
on page 38).
Important: The Safety Controller is not designed to monitor 2-wire mats, bumpers, or edges (with or
without sensing resistors).
The Safety Controller monitors the contacts (contact plates) and the wiring of one or more safety mat(s) for failures and
prevents the machine from restarting if a failure is detected. A reset routine after the operator steps off the safety mat may
be provided by the Safety Controller, or, if the Safety Controller is used in auto-reset mode, the reset function must be
provided by the machine control system. This prevents the controlled machinery from restarting automatically after the mat
is cleared.
WARNING:
Application of Safety Mats — Safety Mat application requirements vary for the level of control reliability
or category and performance level as described by ISO 13849-1 and ISO 13856. Although Banner
Engineering always recommends the highest level of safety in any application, the user is responsible to
safely install, operate, and maintain each safety system per the manufacturer's recommendations and
comply with all relevant laws and regulations.
Do not use safety mats as a tripping device to initiate machine motion (such as in a presence-sensing
device initiation application), due to the possibility of unexpected start or re-start of the machine cycle
resulting from failure(s) within the mat and the interconnect cabling.
Do not use a safety mat to enable or provide the means to allow the machine control to start hazardous
motion by simply standing on the safety mat (for example, at a control station). This type of application
uses reverse/negative logic and certain failures (for example, loss of power to the Module) can result in a
false enable signal.
The following are minimum requirements for the design, construction, and installation of four-wire safety mat sensor(s) to be
interfaced with the Safety Controller. These requirements are a summary of standards ISO 13856-1, ANSI/RIA R15.06 and
ANSI B11.19. The user must review and comply with all applicable regulations and standards.
Safety Mat System Design and Construction
The safety mat system sensor, Safety Controller, and any additional devices must have a response time that is fast enough
to reduce the possibility of an individual stepping lightly and quickly over the mat’s sensing surface (less than 100 to 200
ms, depending on the relevant standard).
For a safety mat system, the minimum object sensitivity of the sensor must detect, at a minimum, a 30 kg (66 lb) weight on
an 80 mm (3.15 in) diameter circular disk test piece anywhere on the mat’s sensing surface, including joints and junctions.
The effective sensing surface or area must be identifiable and can comprise one or more sensors. The safety mat supplier
should state this minimum weight and diameter as the minimum object sensitivity of the sensor.
User adjustments to actuating force and response time are not allowed (ISO 13856-1). The sensor should be manufactured
to prevent any reasonably foreseeable failures, such as oxidation of the contact elements which could cause a loss in
sensitivity.
The environmental rating of the sensor must meet a minimum of IP54. When the sensor is specified for immersion in water,
the sensor’s minimum enclosure level must be IP67. The interconnect cabling may require special attention. A wicking
action may result in the ingress of liquid into the mat, possibly causing a loss of sensor sensitivity. The termination of the
interconnect cabling may need to be located in an enclosure that has an appropriate environmental rating.
The sensor must not be adversely affected by the environmental conditions for which the system is intended. The effects of
liquids and other substances on the sensor must be taken into account. For example, long-term exposure to some liquids
can cause degradation or swelling of the sensor’s housing material, resulting in an unsafe condition.
The sensor’s top surface should be a lifetime non-slip design, or otherwise minimize the possibility of slipping under the
expected operating conditions.
The four-wire connection between the interconnect cables and the sensor must withstand dragging or carrying the sensor
by its cable without failing in an unsafe manner, such as broken connections due to sharp or steady pulls, or continuous
If such connection is not available, an alternative method must be employed to avoid such failure, for example, a
flexing.
cable which disconnects without damage and results in a safe situation.
Safety Mat Installation
The mounting surface quality and preparation for the safety mat must meet the requirements stated by the sensor’s
manufacturer. Irregularities in the mounting surfaces may impair the function of the sensor and should be reduced to an
acceptable minimum. The mounting surface should be level and clean. Avoid the collection of fluids under or around the
sensor. Prevent the risk of failure due to a build-up of dirt, turning chips, or other material under the sensor(s) or the
associated hardware. Special consideration should be given to joints between the sensors to ensure that foreign material
does not migrate under or into the sensor.
Any damage (cuts, tears, wear, or punctures) to the outer insulating jacket of the interconnect cable or to any part of the
exterior of the safety mat must be immediately repaired or replaced. Ingress of material (including dirt particles, insects,
fluid,
moisture, or turning-chips), which may be present near the mat, may cause the sensor to corrode or to lose its
sensitivity.
Routinely inspect and test each safety mat according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Do not exceed operational
specifications,
Securely mount each safety mat to prevent inadvertent movement (creeping) or unauthorized removal. Methods include, but
are not limited to, secured edging or trim, tamper-resistant or one-way fasteners, and recessed flooring or mounting
surface, in addition to the size and weight of large mats.
Each safety mat must be installed to minimize tripping hazards, particularly towards the machine hazard. A tripping hazard
may exist when the difference in height of an adjacent horizontal surface is 4 mm (1/8 in) or more. Minimize tripping hazards
at joints, junctions, and edges, and when additional coverings are used. Methods include a ground-flush installation of the
mat, or a ramp that does not exceed 20° from horizontal. Use contrasting colors or markings to identify ramps and edges.
Position and size the safety mat system so that persons cannot enter the hazardous area without being detected, and
cannot reach the hazard before the hazardous conditions have ceased. Additional guards or safeguarding devices may be
required to ensure that exposure to the hazard(s) is not possible by reaching over, under, or around the device’s sensing
surface.
A safety mat installation must take into account the possibility of easily stepping over the sensing surface and not being
detected. ANSI and international standards require a minimum depth of field of the sensor surface (the smallest distance
between the edge of the mat and hazard) to be from 750 to 1200 mm (30 to 48 in), depending on the application and the
such as the maximum number of switching operations.
relevant standard. The possibility of stepping on machine supports or other physical objects to bypass or climb over the
sensor also must be prevented.
Safety Mat Safety Distance (Minimum Distance)
As a stand-alone safeguard, the safety mat must be installed at a
safety distance (minimum distance) so that the exterior edge of the
sensing surface is at or beyond that distance, unless it is solely used
to prevent start/restart, or solely used for clearance safeguarding
(see ANSI B11.19, ANSI/RIA R15.06, and ISO 13855).
The safety distance (minimum distance) required for an application
depends on several factors, including the speed of the hand (or
individual), the total system stopping time (which includes several
response time components), and the depth penetration factor. Refer
to the relevant standard to determine the appropriate distance or
means to ensure that individuals cannot be exposed to the hazard(s).

7.5.10 Muting Sensor
Safety device muting is an automatically controlled suspension of one or more safety input stop signals during a
portion of a machine operation when no immediate hazard is present or when access to the hazard is safeguarded. Muting
sensors can be mapped to one or more of the following safety input devices:
•
Safety gate (interlocking) switches
• Optical sensors
• Two-hand controls
• Safety mats
• Protective stops
US and International standards require the user to arrange, install, and operate the safety system so that personnel are
protected and the possibility of defeating the safeguard is minimized.
Examples of Muting Sensors and Switches
WARNING: Avoid Hazardous Installations
Two or four independent position switches must be properly adjusted or positioned so that they close
only after the hazard no longer exists, and open again when the cycle is complete or the hazard is again
present. If the switches are improperly adjusted or positioned, injury or death may result.
The user is responsible to satisfy all local, state, and national laws, rules, codes, and regulations relating
to the use of safety equipment in any particular application. Make sure that all appropriate agency
requirements have been met and that all installation and maintenance instructions contained in the
appropriate manuals are followed.
Photoelectric Sensors (Opposed Mode)
Opposed-mode sensors should be configured for dark operate (DO) and have open (non-conducting) output contacts in a
power Off condition. Both the emitter and receiver from each pair should be powered from the same source to reduce the
possibility of common mode failures.
The user must ensure that false proxying (activation due to shiny or reflective
sensors with linear polarization can greatly reduce or eliminate this effect.
Use a sensor configured for light operate (LO or N.O.) if initiating a mute when the retroreflective target or tape is detected
(home position). Use a sensor configured for dark operate (DO or N.C.) when a blocked beam path initiates the muted
condition (entry/exit). Both situations must have open (non-conducting) output contacts in a power Off condition.
surfaces) is not possible. Banner low profile
Positive-Opening Safety Switches
Two (or four) independent switches, each with a minimum of one closed safety contact to initiate the mute cycle, are
typically used. An application using a single switch with a single actuator and two closed contacts may result in an unsafe
situation.
Inductive Proximity Sensors
Typically, inductive proximity sensors are used to initiate a muted cycle when a metal surface is detected. Do not use twowire sensors due to excessive leakage current causing false On conditions. Use only three- or four-wire sensors that have
discrete PNP or hard-contact outputs that are separate from the input power.
Mute Device Requirements
The muting devices must, at a minimum, comply with the following requirements:
1. There must be a minimum of two independent hard-wired muting devices.
2. The muting devices must have one of the following: normally open contacts, PNP outputs (both of which must fulfill
the input requirements listed in the
action. At least one of these contacts must close when the switch is actuated, and must open (or not conduct) when
the switch is not actuated or is in a power-off state.
3. The activation of the inputs to the muting function must come from separate sources. These sources must be
mounted separately to prevent an unsafe muting condition resulting from misadjustment, misalignment, or a single
common mode failure, such as physical damage to the mounting surface. Only one of these sources may pass
through, or be affected by, a PLC or a similar device.
4. The muting devices must be installed so that they cannot be easily defeated or bypassed.
5. The muting devices must be mounted so that their physical position and alignment cannot be easily changed.
6. It must not be possible for environmental conditions, such as extreme airborne contamination, to initiate a mute
condition.
7. The muting devices must not be set to use any delay or other timing functions unless such functions are
accomplished so that no single component failure prevents the removal of the hazard, subsequent machine cycles
are prevented until the failure is corrected, and no hazard is created by extending the muted period.

7.5.11 Bypass Switch
The safety device bypass is a manually activated and temporary suspension of one or more safety input stop signals,
under supervisory control, when no immediate hazard is present. It is typically accomplished by selecting a bypass mode of
operation using a key switch to facilitate machine setup, web alignment/adjustments, robot teach, and process
troubleshooting.
Bypass switches can be mapped to one or more of the following safety input devices:
•
Safety gate (interlocking) switches
• Optical sensors
• Two-Hand Controls
• Safety mats
• Protective stop
Requirements of Bypassing Safeguards

Requirements to bypass a safeguarding device include
•
The bypass function must be temporary
• The means of selecting or enabling the bypass must be capable of being supervised
• Automatic machine operation must be prevented by limiting range of motion, speed, or power (used inch, jog, or
slow-speed modes). Bypass mode must not be used for production

the device(s) that are controlled by the safety output to which the function is mapped. When the safety output turns Off, the
AVM input must be high/On (+24 V dc applied) before the AVM timer expires or a lockout will occur. The AVM input must
also be high/On when the safety output attempts to turn On or a lockout will occur.
The Adjustable Valve (Device) Monitoring (AVM) function is similar in function to One-Channel External Device
External Device Monitoring (EDM)
on page 53). The AVM function monitors the state of
Note: 50 ms to 5 s time period is adjustable in 50 ms intervals (default is 50 ms).
The Adjustable Valve (Device) Monitoring function is useful for dynamically monitoring devices under the control of the
safety output that may become slow, stick, or fail in an energized state or position, and whose operation needs to be
after a Stop signal occurs. Example applications include single- or dual-solenoid valves controlling clutch/brake
verified
mechanisms, and position sensors that monitor the home position of a linear actuator.
Synchronization or checking a maximum differential timing between two or more devices, such as dual valves, may be
achieved by mapping multiple AVM functions to one safety output and configuring the AVM timer to the same values. Any
number of AVM inputs can be mapped to one safety output. An input signal can be generated by a hard/relay contact or a
solid-state PNP output.
WARNING:
• Adjustable Valve Monitoring (AVM) Operation
•
When the AVM function is used, the Safety Output(s) will not turn ON until the AVM input is
satisfied.
• It is the user's responsibility to ensure the AVM monitoring time is properly configured for the
application and to instruct all individuals associated with the machine about the possibility of the
ON-Delay effect, which may not be readily apparent to the machine operator or to other
personnel.
This could result in an ON-delay up to the configured AVM monitoring time.
7.6 Non-Safety Input Devices
The non-safety input devices include manual reset devices, On/Off switches, mute enable devices, and cancel delay inputs.
Manual Reset Devices—Used to create a reset signal for an output or function block configured for a manual reset,
requiring an operator action for the output of that block to turn on. Resets can also be created using virtual reset input; see
Virtual Non-Safety Input Devices (XS/SC26-2 FID 2 Only and SC10-2)
on page 44.
WARNING: Non-Monitored Resets
If a non-monitored reset (either latch or system reset) is configured and if all other conditions for a reset
are in place, a short from the Reset terminal to +24 V will turn On the safety output(s) immediately.
ON/Off Switch—Provides an On or Off command to the machine. When all of the controlling safety inputs are in the Run
state, this function permits the safety output to turn On and Off. This is a single-channel signal; the Run state is 24 V dc and
the Stop state is 0 V dc. An On/Off input can be added without mapping to a safety output, which allows this input to
control only a status output. An On/Off switch can also be created using a virtual input; see
Devices (XS/SC26-2 FID 2 Only and SC10-2)
Mute Enable Switch—Signals the Safety Controller when the mute sensors are permitted to perform a mute function. When
the mute enable function is configured, the mute sensors are not enabled to perform a mute function until the mute enable
signal is in the Run state. This is a single-channel signal; the enable (Run) state is 24 V dc and the disable (Stop) state is 0 V
dc. A mute enable switch can also be created using a virtual input; see
Only and SC10-2)
Cancel Off-Delay Devices—Provide the option to cancel a configured Off-delay time of a safety output or a delay block
output. It functions in one of the following ways:
• Keeps the safety output or delay block output On
• Turns the safety output or delay block output Off immediately after the Safety Controller receives a Cancel Off-Delay
signal
• When Cancel Type is set to "Control Input", the safety output or delay block output stays on if the input turns On
again before the end of the delay
A status output function (Output Delay in Progress) indicates when a Cancel Delay Input can be activated in order to keep
the Off-delayed safety output On. A cancel off-delay device can also be created using a virtual input; see
A Safety Output cannot be configured to use a Manual Reset when associated with a Two Hand Control input or an
Enabling Device Function Block.
Sets the System to a Run state from a Lockout state due to a system fault. Possible scenarios when System Reset
is needed include:
• Signals are detected on unused terminal pins
• Configuration Mode timeout
• Exiting Configuration Mode
• Internal faults
Clears the fault and allows the output to turn back On if the cause of the fault has been removed. Possible
scenarios when an Output Fault Reset is needed include:
• Output faults
• EDM or AVM faults
XS/SC26-2 and SC10-2 Safety Controllers
Manual Reset on Power-Up
Allows various Latch Reset Blocks and/or Output Blocks to be controlled by a single reset input after the power up.
Enable Mode Exit
A reset is required to exit the Enable Mode.
Track Input Group Reset
Resets the Status Output function Track Input Group and the Virtual Status Output function Track Input Group.
The reset switch must be mounted at a location that complies with the warning below. A key-actuated reset switch provides
some operator or supervisory control, as the key can be removed from the switch and taken into the guarded area.
However, this does not prevent from any unauthorized or inadvertent resets due to spare keys being in the possession of
others, or additional personnel entering the guarded area unnoticed (a pass-through hazard).
WARNING: Reset Switch Location
All reset switches must be accessible only from outside, and in full view of, the hazardous area. Reset
switches must also be out of reach from within the safeguarded space, and must be protected against
unauthorized or inadvertent operation (for example, through the use of rings or guards). If any areas are
not visible from the reset switch(es), additional means of safeguarding must be provided. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in serious injury or death.
Important: Resetting a safeguard must not initiate hazardous motion. Safe work procedures require a
start-up procedure to be followed and the individual performing the reset to verify that the entire
hazardous area is clear of all personnel before each reset of the safeguard is performed. If any area
cannot be observed from the reset switch location, additional supplemental safeguarding must be used:
at a minimum, visual and audible warnings of the machine start-up.
Note: Automatic Reset sets an output to return to an On state without action by an individual once the
input device(s) changes to the Run state and all other logic blocks are in their Run state. Also known as
"Trip mode," automatic reset is typically used in applications in which the individual is continually being
sensed by the safety input device.
WARNING: Automatic Power Up
On power up, the Safety Outputs and Latch Reset Blocks

outputs
Automatic and Manual Reset Inputs Mapped to the Same Safety Output
By default, Safety Outputs are configured for automatic reset (trip mode). They can be configured as a Latch Reset using
the Solid State Output Properties attribute of the Safety Output (see
Safety Input Devices operate as automatic reset unless a Latch Reset Block is added. If a Latch Reset Block is added in line
with an output configured for Latch Reset mode, the same or different Manual Reset Input Device(s) may be used to reset
the Latch Reset Block and the Safety Output latch. If the same Manual Reset Input Device is used for both, and all inputs
are in their Run state, a single reset action will unlatch the function block and the output block. If different Manual Reset
Input Devices are used, the reset associated with the Safety Output must be the last one activated. This can be used to
force a sequenced reset routine, which can be used to reduce or eliminate pass-through hazards in perimeter guarding
applications (see
If the controlling inputs to a Latch Reset Block or a Safety Output Block are not in the Run state, the reset for that block will
be ignored.
Safety Input Device Properties
on page 27).
Function Blocks
on page 80).
Reset Signal Requirements
Reset Input devices can be configured for monitored or non-monitored operation, as follows:
Monitored reset: Requires the reset signal to transition from low (0 V dc) to high (24 V dc) and then back to low. The high
state duration must be 0.5 seconds to 2 seconds. This is called a trailing edge event.
Non-monitored reset: Requires only that the reset signal transitions from low (0 V dc) to high (24 V dc) and stays high for at
least 0.5 seconds. After the reset, the reset signal can be either high or low. This is called a leading-edge event.
7.7 Virtual Non-Safety Input Devices (XS/SC26-2 FID 2 Only
and SC10-2)
All virtual inputs require FID 2 for XS/SC26-2. The virtual non-safety input devices include manual reset, On/Off, mute
enable, and cancel off delay.
WARNING: Virtual Non-Safety Inputs must never be used to control any safety-critical applications. If a
Virtual Non-Safety Input is used to control a safety-critical application, a failure to danger is possible and
may lead to serious injury or death.
Important: Resetting a safeguard must not initiate hazardous motion. Safe work procedures require a
start-up procedure to be followed and the individual performing the reset to verify that the entire
hazardous area is clear of all personnel before each reset of the safeguard is performed. If any area
cannot be observed from the reset switch location, additional supplemental safeguarding must be used:
at a minimum, visual and audible warnings of the machine start-up.
7.7.1 Virtual Manual Reset and Cancel Delay (RCD) Sequence
According to section 5.2.2 of EN ISO 13849-1:2015, a "deliberate action" by the operator is required to reset a safety
function. Traditionally, this requirement is met by using a mechanical switch and associated wires connected to specified
terminals on the Safety Controller. For a monitored reset, the contacts must be open initially, then closed, and then open
again within the proper timing. If the timing is not too short or too long, it is determined to be deliberate and the reset is
performed.
Banner has created a virtual reset solution that requires deliberate action. For example, in place of the mechanical switch,
an HMI may be used. In place of the wires, a unique Actuation Code is used for each Safety Controller on a network. Also,
each virtual reset within a Safety Controller is associated with a specific bit in a register. This bit, along with the Actuation
Code, must be written and cleared in a coordinated way. If the steps are completed with the proper sequence and timing, it
is determined to be deliberate and the reset is performed.
While the standards do not require a "deliberate action" to perform a virtual cancel delay, to avoid additional complexity,
Banner has implemented this function in the same way as the virtual manual reset.
The user must set matching Actuation Codes in both the Safety Controller and the controlling network device (PLC, HMI,
etc.). The Actuation Code is part of the Network Settings and is not included in the configuration CRC. There is no default
Actuation Code. The user must set one up on the Network Settings screen. The Actuation Code can be active for up to 2
seconds for it to be effective. Different Safety Controllers on the same network should have different Actuation Codes.
The HMI/PLC programmer can choose from two different methods depending on their preferences; a feedback-based
sequence or a timed sequence. These methods are described in the following figures. The actual register location depends
upon which protocol is being used.

Virtual ON/OFF
Provides an ON or OFF command to the machine. When all of the controlling safety inputs are in the Run state, this
function permits the safety output to turn ON and OFF. The Run state is a logical 1 and the Stop state is a logical 0.
A virtual ON/OFF input can be added without mapping to a safety output, allowing it to control a non-safety status
output. An ON/OFF switch can also be created using a physical input; see
Virtual Mute Enable
Signals the Safety Controller when the mute sensors are permitted to perform a mute function. When the mute
enable function is configured, the mute sensors are not enabled to perform a mute function until the mute enable

7.8 Safety Outputs
XS/SC26-2
The Base Controller has two pairs of Solid-State Safety Outputs (terminals SO1a and b, and SO2a and b). These outputs
provide up to 500 mA each at 24 V dc. Each redundant Solid-State Safety Output can be configured to function individually
or in pairs, for example, split SO1a independent of SO1b, or SO1 as a dual-channel output.
Additional Safety Outputs can be added to expandable models of the Base Controller by incorporating I/O modules. These
additional safety outputs can be isolated relay outputs that can be used to control/switch a wide range of power
characteristics (see
SC10-2
The SC10-2 has two isolated redundant relay outputs. Each relay output has 3 independent sets of contacts. See

7.8.1 XS/SC26-2 Solid-State Safety Outputs
The solid-state Safety Outputs, for example, SO1a and b, and SO2a and b, are actively monitored to detect short circuits to
the supply voltage, to each other, and to other voltage sources and are designed for Category 4 safety applications. If a
failure is detected on one channel of a safety output pair, both outputs attempt to turn Off and will enter a lockout state. The
output without the fault is able to turn off the hazardous motion.
Similarly, a Safety Output that is used individually (split), is also actively monitored to detect short circuits to other power
sources, but is unable to perform any actions. Take extreme care in the wiring of the terminals and in the routing of the
wires to avoid the possibility of shorts to other voltage sources, including other Safety Outputs. Each split Safety Output is
for Category 3 applications due to an internal series connection of two switching devices, but an external short
XS/SC26-2 and SC10-2 Safety Controllers
Important: When Solid-State Safety Output modules (XS2so or XS4so) are used, the power to those
modules must be applied either prior to or within 5 seconds after applying the power to the Base
Controller, if using separate power supplies.
WARNING: Single Channel (Split) Outputs use in Safety Critical Applications
If a single channel output is used in a safety critical application then fault exclusion principles must be
incorporated to ensure Category 3 safety operation. Routing and managing single channel output wires
so shorts to other outputs or other voltage sources are not possible is an example of a proper fault
exclusion method. Failure to incorporate proper fault exclusion methods when using single channel
outputs in safety critical applications may cause a loss of safety control and result in a serious injury or
death.
Whenever possible, incorporating External Device Monitoring (EDM) and/or Adjustable Valve Monitoring (AVM) is highly
recommended to monitor devices under control (FSDs and MPCEs) for unsafe failures. See
(EDM)
on page 53 for more information.
External Device Monitoring
Output Connections
The Safety Outputs must be connected to the machine control such that the machine’s safety related control system
interrupts the circuit or power to the machine primary control element(s) (MPCE), resulting in a non-hazardous condition.
When used, Final Switching Devices (FSDs) typically accomplish this when the safety outputs go to the Off state. Refer to
XS/SC26-2 Specifications
the
on page 16 before making connections and interfacing the Safety Controller to the machine.
The level of the safety circuit integrity must be determined by risk assessment; this level is dependent on the configuration,
proper installation of external circuitry, and the type and installation of the devices under control (FSDs and MPCEs). The
solid-state safety outputs are suitable for Category 4 PL e / SIL 3 applications when controlled in pairs (not split) and for
applications up to Category 3 PL d / SIL 2 when acting independently (split) when appropriate fault exclusion has been
employed. See
Figure 32
on page 51 for hookup examples.
WARNING:
• Safety Output Lead Resistance
A resistance higher than 10 ohms could mask a short between the dual-channel safety outputs
•
and could create an unsafe condition that could result in serious injury or death.
• Do not exceed 10 ohms resistance in the safety output wires.

7.8.2 Safety Relay Outputs
XS/SC26-2 Expansion Safety Relay modules and the SC10-2 have isolated redundant relay outputs that can be used to
control/switch a wide range of power characteristics (see
on page 18). Unlike a solid-state Safety Output, within an output module an individual safety relay output (Mx:ROx)
functions as a group and cannot be split.
The Safety Relay Outputs are controlled and monitored by the XS/SC26-2 Base Controller or the SC10-2 without requiring
additional wiring.
For circuits requiring the highest levels of safety and reliability, when used in pairs (two N.O.), either Safety Output must be
capable of stopping the motion of the guarded machine in an emergency. When used individually (a single N.O. output),
fault exclusion must ensure that failures cannot occur that would result in the loss of the safety function, for example, a
short-circuit to another safety output or a secondary source of energy or voltage. For more information, see

on page 53 for more information.
Output Connections—The Safety Relay Outputs must be connected to the machine control such that the machine's safety
related control system interrupts the circuit or power to the machine primary control element(s) (MPCE), resulting in a nonhazardous condition. When used, Final Switching Devices (FSDs) typically accomplish this when the safety outputs go to
the Off state.
The Safety Relay Outputs can be used as the Final Switching Device (FSD) and can be interfaced in either a Dual-Channel
or Single-Channel safety (protective) stop circuit (see

Controller to the machine.
The level of the safety circuit integrity must be determined by risk assessment; this level is dependent on the configuration,
proper installation of external circuitry, and the type and installation of the devices under control (FSDs and MPCEs). The
safety relay outputs are suitable for Category 4 PL e / SIL 3. See

XS/SC26-2
Overvoltage Category II and III Installations (EN 50178 and IEC 60664-1)
The XS/SC26-2 and SC10-2 are rated for Overvoltage Category III when voltages of 1 V to 150 V ac/dc are applied to the
output relay contacts. They are rated for Overvoltage Category II when voltages of 151 V to 250 V ac/dc are applied to the
output relay contacts and no additional precautions are taken to attenuate possible overvoltage situations in the supply
voltage. The XS/SC26-2 or SC10-2 can be used in an Overvoltage Category III environment (with voltages of 151 V to 250 V
ac/dc) if care is taken either to reduce the level of electrical disturbances seen by the XS/SC26-2 or SC10-2 to Overvoltage
Category II levels by installing surge suppressor devices (for example, arc suppressors), or to install extra external insulation
in order to isolate both the XS/SC26-2 or SC10-2 and the user from the higher voltage levels of a Category III environment.
For Overvoltage Category III installations with applied voltages from 151 V to 250 V ac/dc applied to the output contact(s):
the XS/SC26-2 or SC10-2 may be used under the conditions of a higher overvoltage category where appropriate
overvoltage reduction is provided. Appropriate methods include:
•
An overvoltage protective device
• A transformer with isolated windings
• A distribution system with multiple branch circuits (capable of diverting energy of surges)
• A capacitance capable of absorbing energy of surges
• A resistance or similar damping device capable of dissipating the energy of surges
When switching inductive ac loads, it is good practice to protect the XS/SC26-2 or SC10-2 outputs by installing
appropriately-sized arc suppressors. However, if arc suppressors are used, they must be installed across the load being
switched (for example, across the coils of external safety relays), and never across the XS/SC26-2 or SC10-2 output
contacts (see WARNING, Arc Suppressors).
7.8.3 EDM and FSD Hookup
External Device Monitoring (EDM)
The Safety Controller’s safety outputs can control external relays, contactors, or other devices that have a set of normally
closed (N.C.), force-guided (mechanically linked) contacts that can be used for monitoring the state of the machine power
contacts. The monitoring contacts are normally closed (N.C.) when the device is turned Off. This capability allows the Safety
Controller to detect if the devices under load are responding to the safety output, or if the N.O. contacts are possibly
welded closed or stuck On.
The EDM function provides a method to monitor these types of faults and to ensure the functional integrity of a dualchannel system, including the MPCEs and the FSDs.
A single EDM input can be mapped to one or multiple Safety Outputs. This is accomplished by opening the Safety Output
Properties window and checking EDM, then adding External Device Monitoring from the Safety Input tab in the Add
Equipment window (accessed from the Equipment tab or Functional View tab), and connecting the External Device
Monitoring input to the EDM node of the Safety Output.
The EDM inputs can be configured
OSSD outputs directly control the de-energizing of the MPCEs or external devices.
• One-Channel Monitoring—A series connection of closed monitor contacts that are forced-guided (mechanically
linked) from each device controlled by the Safety Controller. The monitor contacts must be closed before the Safety
Controller outputs can be reset (either manual or automatic). After a reset is executed and the safety outputs turn
On, the status of the monitor contacts are no longer monitored and may change state. However, the monitor

contacts must be closed within 250 milliseconds of the safety outputs changing from On to Off. See
Figure 36
page 55.
• Two-Channel Monitoring—An independent connection of closed monitor contacts that are forced-guided
(mechanically linked) from each device controlled by the Safety Controller. Both EDM inputs must be closed before
the Safety Controller can be reset and the OSSDs can turn On. While the OSSDs are On, the inputs may change
state (either both open, or both closed). A lockout occurs if the inputs remain in opposite states for more than 250
milliseconds. See
Figure 38
on page 55.
• No Monitoring (default)—If no monitoring is desired, do not enable the Safety Output EDM node. If the Safety
Controller does not use the EDM function in Category 3 or Category 4 applications, the user must make sure that
any single failure or accumulation of failures of the external devices does not result in a hazardous condition and
that a successive machine cycle is prevented.
CAUTION: EDM Configuration
If the application does not require the EDM function, it is the user’s responsibility to ensure that this does
not create a hazardous situation.
CAUTION: External Device Monitoring Connection
Wire at least one normally closed, forced-guided monitoring contact of each MPCE or external device to
monitor the state of the MPCEs (as shown). If this is done, proper operation of the MPCEs will be
verified.
Use MPCE monitoring contacts to maintain control reliability.
External Device Monitoring EDM is a way to check the operation of dual channel final switching
devices or machine primary control elements. The force guided N.C. monitoring contacts of the
FSD or MPCE are used as an input to detect a “stuck on” fault condition and will prevent the safety
controller outputs from turning On.

FSD Interfacing Connections
Final switching devices (FSDs) interrupt the power in the circuit to the Machine Primary Control Element (MPCE) when the
Safety Outputs go to the Off-state. FSDs can take many forms, though the most common are forced-guided (mechanically
linked) relays or Interfacing Modules. The mechanical linkage between the contacts allows the device to be monitored by
the external device monitoring circuit for certain failures.
Depending on the application, the use of FSDs can facilitate controlling voltage and current that differs from the Safety
Outputs of the Safety Controller. FSDs may also be used to control an additional number of hazards by creating multiple
safety stop circuits.
Safety (Protective) Stop Circuits
A safety stop allows for an orderly cessation of motion or hazardous situation for safeguarding purposes, which results in a
stop of motion and removal of power from the MPCEs (assuming this does not create additional hazards). A safety stop
circuit typically comprises a minimum of two normally open contacts from forced-guided (mechanically linked) relays, which
are monitored (via a mechanically linked NC contact) to detect certain failures so that the loss of the safety function does
not occur. Such a circuit can be described as a “safe switching point.”
Typically, safety stop circuits are a series connection of at least two N.O. contacts coming from two separate, positiveguided relays, each controlled by one separate safety output of the Safety Controller. The safety function relies on the use
of redundant contacts to control a single hazard, so that if one contact fails On, the second contact stops the hazard and
prevents the next cycle from occurring.
Interfacing safety stop circuits must be wired so that the safety function cannot be suspended, overridden, or defeated,
unless accomplished in a manner at the same or greater degree of safety as the machine’s safety-related control system
that includes the Safety Controller.
The normally open outputs from an interfacing module are a series connection of redundant contacts that form safety stop
circuits and can be used in either single-channel or dual-channel control methods.
Dual-Channel Control—Dual-channel (or two-channel) control has the ability to electrically extend the safe switching point
beyond the FSD contacts. With proper monitoring, such as EDM, this method of interfacing is capable of detecting certain
failures in the control wiring between the safety stop circuit and the MPCEs. These failures include a short-circuit of one
channel to a secondary source of energy or voltage, or the loss of the switching action of one of the FSD outputs, which
may lead to the loss of redundancy or a complete loss of safety if not detected and corrected.
The possibility of a wiring failure increases as the physical distance between the FSD safety stop circuits and the MPCEs
increase, as the length or the routing of the interconnecting wires increases, or if the FSD safety stop circuits and the
MPCEs are located in different enclosures. Thus, dual-channel control with EDM monitoring should be used in any
installation where the FSDs are located remotely from the MPCEs.
Single-Channel Control—Single-channel (or one-channel) control uses a series connection of FSD contacts to form a safe
switching point. After this point in the machine’s safety-related control system, failures that would result in the loss of the
safety function can occur, for example, a short-circuit to a secondary source of energy or voltage.
Thus, this method of interfacing should be used only in installations where FSD safety stop circuits and the MPCEs are
physically located within the same control panel, adjacent to each other, and are directly connected to each other; or where
the possibility of such a failure can be excluded. If this cannot be achieved, then two-channel control should be used.
Methods to exclude the possibility of these failures include, but are not limited to:
Physically separating interconnecting control wires from each other and from secondary sources of power
•
• Routing interconnecting control wires in separate conduit, runs, or channels
• Routing interconnecting control wires with low voltage or neutral that cannot result in energizing the hazard
• Locating all elements (modules, switches, devices under control, etc.) within the same control panel, adjacent to
each other, and directly connected with short wires
• Properly installing multi-conductor cabling and multiple wires that pass through strain-relief fittings. Over-tightening
of a strain-relief can cause short circuits at that point
Using positive-opening or direct-drive components installed and mounted in a positive mode
•
WARNING:
• Properly install arc or transient suppressors
•
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.
• Install any suppressors as shown across the coils of the FSDs or MPCEs. Do not install
suppressors directly across the contacts of the FSDs or MPCEs. In such a configuration, it is
possible for suppressors to fail as a short circuit.
WARNING: Safety Output Interfacing
To ensure proper operation, the Banner product output parameters and machine input parameters must
be considered when interfacing the solid state safety outputs to the machine inputs. Machine control
circuitry must be designed so that:
•
The maximum cable resistance value between the Safety Controller solid-state safety outputs
and the machine inputs is not exceeded
• The Safety Controller’s solid-state safety output maximum Off state voltage does not result in an
On condition
• The Safety Controller’s solid-state safety output maximum leakage current, due to the loss of 0 V,
does not result in an On condition
Failure to properly interface the safety outputs to the guarded machine may result in serious bodily injury
or death.
When a Solid-State Safety Output
has been split into two individual
outputs, each output requires an
individual EDM or AVM input for
monitoring.
DC common (0Vdc) must be
common between the module’s
0Vdc terminal and the common of
the load (e.g. FSD).

9.5.1 Logic Blocks
Logic Blocks are used to create Boolean (True or False) functional relationships between inputs, outputs, and other logic
and function blocks. Logic Blocks accept appropriate safety inputs, non-safety inputs, or safety outputs as an input. The
state of the output reflects the Boolean logic result of the combination of the states of its inputs (1 = On, 0 = Off, x = do not
care).
CAUTION: Inverted Logic
It is not recommended to use Inverted Logic configurations in safety applications where a hazardous
situation can occur.
Signal states can be inverted by the use of NOT, NAND, and NOR logic blocks, or by selecting "Invert Output" or "Invert
Input Source" check boxes (where available). On a Logic Block input, inverted logic treats a Stop state (0 or Off) as a "1"
(True or On) and causes an output to turn On, assuming all inputs are satisfied. Similarly, the inverted logic causes the
inverse function of an output when the block becomes "True" (output turns from On to Off). Because of certain failure
modes that would result in loss of signal, such as broken wiring, short to GND/0 V, loss of safeguarding device supply
power, etc., inverted logic is not typically used in safety applications. A hazardous situation can occur by the loss of a stop
signal on a safety input, resulting in a safety output turning On.

improved functionality.
Most Function Blocks expect the corresponding safety input device to be connected to it. The Check List on the left creates
a notification if any required connections are missing. Depending on the application, some Function Blocks may be
connected to other Function Blocks and/or Logic Blocks.
Dual-channel safety input devices have two separate signal lines. Dual-channel signals for some devices are both positive
(+24 V dc) when the device is in the Run state. Other devices may have a complementary circuit structure where one
channel is at 24 V dc and the other is at 0 V dc when the device is in the Run state. This manual uses the Run state/Stop
state convention instead of referring to a safety input device as being On (24 V dc) or Off (0 V dc).
without any function blocks, using the Function Blocks offers substantial efficiency, ease of use, and
Bypass Block
Default NodesAdditional NodesNotes
Bypass Time Limit—A bypass function time limit must be established to limit how long the safety input device bypass is
active. The time limit can be adjusted from 1 second (default) to 12 hours and cannot be disabled. Only one time limit can
be set, and this limit will apply to all safety devices that are bypassed. At the end of the time limit, the safety output control
authority is transferred back to the bypassed safety input devices.
Two-Hand Control Bypassing—The Safety Controller issues a Stop signal if a Two-Hand Control input is actuated while the
input is being bypassed. This ensures that the operator does not mistakenly assume that the Two-Hand Control is
functional; unaware that the Two-Hand Control is bypassed and no longer providing the safeguarding function.
IN
BP
-
When the BP node is inactive, the safety signal simply passes through the Bypass Block. When the BP
node is active, the output of the block is On regardless of the state of the IN node (if the Output turns Off
when both inputs (IN&BP) are On checkbox is clear). The Bypass Block output turns Off when the bypass
timer expires.
Hazardous energy (lockout/tagout) must be controlled in machine maintenance and servicing situations in which the
unexpected energization, start up, or release of stored energy could cause injury. Refer to OSHA 29CFR 1910.147, ANSI
2244.1, ISO 14118 , ISO 12100 or other relevant standards to ensure that bypassing a safeguarding device does not
with the requirements that are contained within the standards.
conflict
WARNING: Limit Use of Bypass Function
The Bypass function is not intended for production purposes; it is to be used only for temporary or
intermittent actions, such as to clear the defined area of a safety light screen if material becomes "stuck".
When Bypass is used, it is the user's responsibility to install and use it according to relevant standards
(such as ANSI NFPA79 or IEC/EN60204-1).
Safe Working Procedures and Training
Safe work procedures provide the means for individuals to control exposure to hazards through the use of written
procedures for specific tasks and the associated hazards. The user must also address the possibility that an individual
could bypass the safeguarding device and then either fail to reinstate the safeguarding or fail to notify other personnel of the
bypassed condition of the safeguarding device; both cases could result in an unsafe condition. One possible method to
prevent this is to develop a safe work procedure and ensure personnel are trained and correctly follow the procedure.
Delay Block (XS/SC26-2 FID 2 Only and SC10-2)
The Delay Block allows a user-configurable ON or OFF delay of a maximum of 5 minutes, in 1 ms increments.
Default NodesAdditional NodesNotes
Depending on the selection, a signal/state transition on the input node
IN-
will be delayed by the output delay time by either holding the output
OFF (ON Delay) or holding the output ON (OFF Delay) after a signal
transition.
Note: The actual delay time of a delay function block or a safety output with a delay can be up to 1 scan
time longer than the delay setting. Multiple delay blocks or delay outputs in series will increase the final
delay time by up to 1 scan for each delay function. For example, three 100 ms off delay function blocks in
series and a scan time of 15 ms may result in an actual delay time of up to 345 ms (300 ms + 45 ms).
The Cancel Delay Node is a configurable node if Off Delay is selected.
Figure 59. Delay Block Timing Diagram
CAUTION: Delay time effect on response time
The off delay time may significantly increase the safety control response time. This will impact the
positioning of safeguards whose installation is determined by the safety (minimum) distance formulas or
are otherwise influenced by the amount of time to reach a non-hazardous state. The installation of
safeguards must account for the increase in response time.
Configuration Summary tab is a maximum time that can change
depending on the use of delay blocks and other logic blocks (such as OR functions). It is the user’s
responsibility to determine, verify, and incorporate the appropriate response time.

WARNING
XS/SC26-2 and SC10-2 Safety Controllers
E-stop buttons, rope pulls, enabling devices, external device monitoring, and bypass switches are non-mutable devices or
functions.
To mute the primary safeguard appropriately, the design of a muting system must:
1. Identify the non-hazardous portion of the machine cycle.
2. Involve the selection of the proper muting devices.
3. Include proper mounting and installation of those devices.
The Safety Controller can monitor and respond to redundant signals that initiate the mute. The mute then suspends the
safeguarding function by ignoring the state of the input device to which the muting function has been assigned. This allows
an object or person to pass through the defined area of a safety light screen without generating a stop command. This
should not be confused with blanking, which disables one or more beams in a safety light screen, resulting in larger
resolution.
The mute function may be triggered by a variety of external devices. This feature provides a variety of options to design the
system to meet the requirements of a specific application.
A pair of muting devices must be triggered simultaneously (within 3 seconds of one another). This reduces the chance of
common mode failures or defeat. Directional muting, in which sensor pair 1 is required to be blocked first, also may reduce
the possibility of defeat.
At least two mute sensors are required for each muting operation. The muting typically occurs 100 ms after the second
mute sensor input has been satisfied. One or two pairs of mute sensors can be mapped to one or more safety input devices
so that their assigned safety outputs can remain On to complete the operation.
WARNING:
• Use Mute and Bypass operations in a way that minimizes personnel risk.
Failure to follow these rules could cause an unsafe condition that could result in serious injury or
•
death.
• Guard against unintended stop signal suspension by using one or more diverse-redundant mute
sensor pairs or a dual channel key-secured bypass switch.
• Set reasonable time limits for the mute and bypass functions.
Muting is allowed only during the non-hazardous portion of the machine cycle.
A muting application must be designed so that no single component failure can prevent the stop
command or allow subsequent machine cycles until the failure is corrected.
WARNING: Mute Inputs Must Be Redundant
It is not acceptable to use a single switch, device, or relay with two N.O. contacts for the mute inputs.
This single device, with multiple outputs, may fail so that the System is muted at an inappropriate time.
This could result in a hazardous situation.
Optional Muting Attributes
The Muting Sensor Pair Input and the Muting Block have several optional functions that can be used to minimize an
unauthorized manipulation and the possibility of an unintended mute cycle.
Mute Enable (ME)
The Mute Enable input is a non-safety-rated input. When the input is closed, or active for virtual input, the Safety Controller
allows a mute condition to occur; opening this input while the System is muted will have no effect.
Typical uses for Mute Enable include:
• Allowing the machine control logic to create a period of time for muting to begin
• Inhibiting muting from occurring
• Reducing the chance of unauthorized or unintended bypass or defeat of the safety system
The optional Mute Enable function may be configured to ensure that a mute function is permitted only at the appropriate
time. If a Mute Enable input device has been mapped to a Muting Block, the safety input device can be muted only if the
mute enable switch is in the enable (24 V dc) state, or active state for virtual input, at the time the mute cycle is started. A
mute enable input device can be mapped to one or more Muting Blocks.
Figure 77. Timing logic—One mute sensor pair with mute enable
Simultaneity Timer Reset Function
The Mute Enable input can also be used to reset the simultaneity timer of the mute sensor inputs. If one input is active for
longer than 3 seconds before the second input becomes active, the simultaneity timer prevents a mute cycle from
occurring. This could be due to a normal stoppage of an assembly line that may result in blocking one mute device and the
simultaneity time running out.
If the ME input is cycled (closed-open-closed or active-inactive-active for virtual input) while one mute input is active, the
simultaneity timer is reset, and if the second mute input becomes active within 3 seconds, a normal mute cycle begins. The
function can reset the timer only once per mute cycle (all mute inputs M1–M4 must open before another reset can occur).
Bypass
An optional Bypass/Override Mode may be enabled by checking the BP (Bypass) box in the Muting Block properties
window. There are two available Bypass/Override Modes—Bypass and Mute Dependent Override. The Bypass mode is
used to temporarily bypass the safeguarding device to keep On or turn On the output of the function block. The Mute
Dependent Override mode is used to manually override an incomplete mute cycle (for example after the mute time limit
expires). In this case, one or more mute sensors must be activated while the safeguard is in the Stop state to initiate the
override.
Depending on a risk assessment and relevant standards, some applications require that a lamp (or other means) be used to
indicate when the safety device, such as a light screen, is muted. The Safety Controller provides a signal that the protective
function is suspended through the Mute status output.
Important: Mute Status Indication
Indication that the safety device is muted must be provided and be readily observable from the location
of the muted safety device. Operation of the indicator may need to be verified by the operator at suitable
intervals.
Muting Time Limit
The muting time limit allows the user to select a maximum period of time that muting is allowed to occur. This feature
hinders the intentional defeat of the muting devices to initiate an inappropriate mute. It is also useful for detecting a
common mode failure that would affect all mute devices in the application. The time limit can be adjusted from 1 second to
30 minutes, in increments of 100 milliseconds (the default is 30 s). The mute time limit may also be set to Infinite (disabled).
The timer begins when the second muting device meets the simultaneity requirement (within 3 seconds of the
After the timer expires, the mute ends despite what the signals from the mute devices indicate. If the input device being
muted is in an Off state, the corresponding Muting Block output turns off.
WARNING: Muting Time Limit. Select an infinite time for the Muting Time Limit only if the possibility of an
inappropriate or unintended mute cycle is minimized, as determined, and allowed by the machine’s risk
assessment. The user is responsible to make sure that this does not create a hazardous situation.
first device).
Mute Off-Delay Time
A delay time may be established to extend the Mute state up to the selected time (1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 seconds) after the Mute
Sensor Pair is no longer signaling a muted condition. Off-delay is typically used for Safety Light Screen/Grid workcell "Exit
Only" applications with mute sensors located only on one side of the defined area. The Muting Block output will remain On
for up to 5 seconds after the first mute device is cleared, or until the muted Safety Input device (Mute Block In) returns to a
Run state, whichever comes first.
Mute on Power-Up
This function initiates a mute cycle after power is applied to the Safety Controller. If selected, the Mute on Power-Up
function initiates a mute when:
• The Mute Enable input is On (if configured)
• The safety device inputs are active (in Run mode)
• Mute sensors M1-M2 (or M3-M4, if used, but not all four) are closed
If Auto Power-Up is configured, the Safety Controller allows approximately 2 seconds for the input devices to become
active to accommodate systems that may not be immediately active at power-up.
If Manual Power-Up is configured and all other conditions are satisfied, the first valid Power-Up Reset after the muted
safety inputs are active (Run state or closed) will result in a mute cycle. The Mute On Power-up function should be used
only if safety can be assured when the mute cycle is expected, and the use of this function is the result of a risk assessment
and is required by that particular machine operation.
WARNING: The Mute on Power-Up should be used only in applications where:
• Muting the System (MP1 and MP2 closed) when power is applied is required
• Using it does not, in any situation, expose personnel to hazard
Mute Sensor Pair Debounce Times
The input debounce times, accessible under the Advanced settings in the Mute Sensor Pair properties window, may be
used to extend a mute cycle after a mute sensor signal is removed. By configuring the close-to-open debounce time, the
mute cycle may be extended up to 1.5 seconds (1500 ms) to allow the Safety Input Device to turn On. The start of the mute
cycle can also be delayed by configuring the open-to-close debounce time.

XS/SC26-2 and SC10-2 Safety Controllers
The Safety Controller monitors the mute devices to verify that their outputs turn ON within 3 seconds of each other. If the
inputs do not meet this simultaneity requirement, a mute condition cannot occur.
Several types and combinations of mute devices can be used, including, but not limited to photoelectric sensors, inductive
proximity sensors, limit switches, positive-driven safety switches, and whisker switches.
Corner Mirrors, Optical Safety Systems, and Muting
Mirrors are typically used with safety light screens and single-/multiple-beam safety systems to guard multiple sides of a
hazardous area. If the safety light screen is muted, the safeguarding function is suspended on all sides. It must not be
possible for an individual to enter the guarded area without being detected and a stop command issued to the machine
control. This supplemental safeguarding is normally provided by an additional device(s) that remains active while the
Primary Safeguard is muted. Therefore, mirrors are typically not allowed for muting applications.
Multiple Presence-Sensing Safety Devices
Muting multiple presence-sensing safety devices (PSSDs) or a PSSD with multiple sensing fields is not recommended
unless it is not possible for an individual to enter the guarded area without being detected and a stop command issued to
the machine control. As with the use of corner mirrors (see
Corner Mirrors, Optical Safety Systems, and Muting
on page
95 ), if multiple sensing fields are muted, the possibility exists that personnel could move through a muted area or access
point to enter the safeguarded area without being detected.
For example, in an entry/exit application where a pallet initiates the mute cycle by entering a cell, if both the entry and the
exit PSSDs are muted, it may be possible for an individual to access the guarded area through the “exit” of the cell. An
appropriate solution would be to mute the entry and the exit with separate safeguarding devices.
WARNING: Guarding Multiple Areas
Do not safeguard multiple areas with mirrors or multiple sensing fields, if personnel can enter the
hazardous area while the System is muted, and not be detected by supplemental safeguarding that will
issue a stop command to the machine.

Two-Hand Control &
Bypass Function Blocks
If both TC1 actuators and the BP1 Bypass switch active at the same time, the B1 Bypass function
block
output and the Two-Hand Control function block output turn Off.
The outputs for B1 and T1 will only turn On when either the TC1 actuators or the BP1 switch are in
the Run state.

The Bypass function can be used with the TC2 actuators to turn the Safety Output On.
When the TC1 actuators are not bypassed they must be used along with the TC2 actuators to turn
the Safety Output
On. If the TC1 actuators and the Bypass switch are both in the Run state, TI and
SO1 cannot be turned On or will turn Off.

To configure the Two-Hand Control mute option, the TC actuators first need to be connected to the
Two-Hand Control function block in the Function View. Check boxes (blue square above) in the
Properties menu will display the names of all TC actuator input devices. Only those THC station
boxes that are checked will be muted.

Actuators TC1 and TC2 can initiate a two-hand cycle if the mute enable ME1 is not active.
ME1 must be active for the MSP1 mute sensors to keep the SO On after the TC1 and TC2 actuators are in the Stop state.

Two-Hand Control Activation on Power-Up Protection. The Safety Controller’s two-hand control logic does not permit the
assigned safety output to turn On when power is initially supplied while the THC actuators are in their Run state. The THC
actuators must change to their Stop state and return to the Run state before the Safety Output can turn On. A Safety
Output associated with a Two-Hand Control device will not have a manual reset option.
