Banner Engineering SC22-3E Safety Controller with Ethernet


After releasing their first Safety Controller a little over a year ago, Banner received input from their sales channel and customers requesting a similar controller with Ethernet network communications, including Modbus/TCP, EtherNet I/P, and PCCC.

The new SC22-3E Ethernet Safety Controller, just like the standard SC22-3 Safety Controller, has fully configurable inputs and outputs to manage multiple non-safety and safety-related components all on one device.

Features:
  • SC22-3E provides EtherNet/IP™ and Modbus/TCP network communications 
  • 32 configurable virtual status outputs with “Auto Configuration” option 
  • Network access to the Fault Log and System/Network parameters
  • Easy-to-use Controller with fully configurable inputs and outputs
  • ISO 13849-1 Category 2, 3, or 4 and OSHA/ANSI Control Reliability Input device hookup
  • Manages several safety related functions
  • 22 Inputs for safety and non-safety input devices
  • 3 dual-channel Safety Outputs with selectable ON- and OFF-delay
  • 10 Status outputs track input and output status, mute status, lockout, fault conditions and reset needed
  • Simple configuration procedure using PC interface (PCI) or on-board controller interface (OBI) maps each input device to any of 3 Safety Outputs
  • Configurations are password protected and confirmed before use, for assurance of safety integrity
  • Configurations are transferable to multiple Safety Controllers and can be e-mailed as attachments
  • 24V dc operation
  • Complies with Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3 per IEC 62061 and IEC 61508, and Category 4 Performance Level “e” per ISO 13849-1.
  • Live display and fault log provide “real-time” status information and historically track faults
  • Configuration files can be printed or exported
