7 Installation Considerations
7.1 Appropriate Application
The correct application of the Safety Controller depends on the type of machine and the safeguards that are to be
interfaced with the Safety Controller. If there is any concern about whether or not your machinery is compatible with this
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 dual-
zone 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 dual-
solenoid valves or press safety valves
Hinge Switches
E-Stop Buttons
Safety Light Screens
Muting Indicator Lights
Manual Reset
Hazardous Area
Muting Sensors
