Introduction
The Pinnacle Universal Safety Controller HUB (HUB) is a
control-reliable safety device that provides a convenient
way to run all safety and non-safety devices back to a
single point. The HUB combines 24 optically coupled
Inputs, 8 optically coupled solid-state Outputs for status, 2
Safety Relays with 3 N.O. (held closed) Dry Outputs, and
2 Safety solid-state N.O. (held closed) Outputs. Control-
Reliability is achieved by using redundant Input and
Output chains along with redundant CPU’s, but running
different software to cross check each other. Safety
Outputs are controlled via hardware watchdog timers as
well as both CPU’s, allowing either CPU to shut down the
Safety relays if a fault occurs.
The System
The Universal Safety Controller HUB (HUB) is a Din-Rail
mountable controller unit capable of being expanded (via
the CAN data network option) and monitored (via Ethernet
option). The HUB Din-Rail controller is 24vdc powered
and self contained with its own mechanical Safety Relays,
optically coupled inputs & outputs, function buttons for
control, and 2 line x 16 character Diagnostics display.
Safety Features
Two mechanical Safety Relays provide up to 3 dry N.O.
(held closed) ESTOP circuit outputs with 8A ratings.
2 Solid-State opto relays provide 2 +24vdc N.O. (held
closed) ESTOP circuit outputs with 1/2A ratings with
automatic resetting fuses that can drive 2 external Safety
relays (with external relay monitoring EDM).
