Banner SC22-3E Safety Controller with Ethernet - Manual (Page 10)

2.2 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 by-
pass 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

2.3 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 Controller incorporates:
• Redundant microcontrollers,
• Redundant input signal detection circuitry, and
• Redundant Safety Output control circuitry.
The safety circuit performance (e.g., categories) of a specific safety or safeguarding device(s) will be determined primarily by the devices
used and their interconnection to the Safety Controller.
See section 10 Input Device and Safety Category Reference on page 90 for specific information about integrating devices with the
Controller.
2.4 Components
The Safety Controller Starter Kit includes:
• 1 Safety Controller (model SC22-3 or SC22-3E)
• 1 set of removable terminals (choose screw or clamp type)
• 1 SC-XM1 external memory (XM) card
• 1 USB A/B cable (Ethernet models)
• 1 SC-XMP XM card programming tool (some models)
• 1 CD containing PCI software, instruction manual, and configuration tutorials (p/n 134534)
• 1 Quick Start Guide
Ethernet connection cables (for model SC22-3E) are user-supplied.
