SC22-3 Safety Controller
Instruction Manual
Overview
The Banner SC22-3 Safety Controller (the Safety Controller or
the Controller) is an easy-to-use, configurable, 24V dc safety
module designed to monitor multiple safety and non-safety
input devices and control up to three independent machine
primary control elements (MPCEs). It provides safety 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
E-stop buttons, gate interlocking switches, safety light curtains,
and other safeguarding devices. It also can be used in place
of safety PLCs and other safety logic devices when they are
excessive for the application.
Configurations are created using an Onboard LCD and
push-button interface, or using a PC connected to the Safety
Controller via a USB port.
1.1 Applications
The SC22-3 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
1. Overview
1.2 Design and Testing
The Safety Controller was designed for up to Category 4 PL e
(ISO 13849-1) and Safety Integrity Level 3 (IEC 61508 and
IEC 62061) safeguarding applications. It has been extensively
tested to ensure that it meets the UL, IEC, and ISO product
performance requirements for both safety functionality and
operational reliability. This self-checking Safety Controller
incorporates
• Redundant microcontrollers,
• Redundant input signal detection circuitry, and
• Redundant safety output control circuitry.
It should be noted that the safety circuit performance
(e.g., categories) of a specific safety or safeguarding device(s)
will be primarily determined by the devices and their
interconnection to the SC22-3 Safety Controller. See Appendix A
for further information.
