Banner SC10-2 Configurable Safety Controller, 10 Inputs

The Banner SC10-2 is a compact configurable safety controller that replaces two or more safety relays in a small machine. Ten input terminals handle emergency stops, gate switches, light curtains, safety mats and two-hand controls, and two 3-channel safety relay outputs switch the machine contactors.

The SC10-2roe model adds industrial Ethernet for status and diagnostics, and the logic is configured by drag and drop on a PC. Seven Star LLC, an independent supplier in Muscat, quotes the exact Banner model code against the product manual.

Technical specifications

What it replaces and how it is configured

Banner describes the SC10 as a hybrid safety controller plus two safety relays, a cost-effective solution for machines that would otherwise need two relays. Up to 70 safe devices can be handled with in-series diagnostics, and Automatic Terminal Optimization with external terminal blocks lets three devices share one I/O signal, so the 10 terminals can serve up to 14 inputs. The free Banner software simulates the configuration before it is downloaded to the controller.

Network integration

Over Ethernet the controller exposes 256 virtual non-safe status outputs and accepts 80 virtual non-safe inputs, such as reset, ON/OFF, cancel OFF-delay and mute enable. EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP and PROFINET are listed in the manual, which lets a PLC read safety status and fault messages without hard-wiring each signal. An optional SC-XM3 drive allows quick controller replacement without a PC.

Selection and what to confirm

If you need more inputs or independent solid-state outputs, look at the larger Banner XS/SC26-2 family or at the existing Pilz PNOZmulti page and the PLC and I/O category. Please confirm before ordering: the number and type of safety devices, contact load and voltage, Ethernet protocol, mounting enclosure rating and whether an SC-XM3 drive is wanted.

How the Banner SC10-2 works

The controller reads the safety devices on its input terminals. A logic program, made on a PC, decides when the outputs may stay on. When an emergency stop or a gate switch opens, the controller drops the two safety relay outputs, and the machine contactors fall away. The relays are forced-guided, so a welded contact can be detected.

Where the SC10-2 is used

• Small machines with two safety relays
• Emergency stop circuits
• Gate and door interlocks
• Light curtain and safety mat circuits
• Two-hand control stations

Selection checklist for the SC10-2

• Number of safety devices
• Ten input terminals, four of them convertible
• Two 3-channel relay outputs
• Industrial Ethernet need
• Supply of 24 V DC
• Enclosure with IP54 or better
• Configuration software on a PC
• Optional SC-XM3 drive

Installation, commissioning and maintenance notes for the SC10-2

Mount the controller on a DIN rail in an enclosure rated NEMA 3 or IP54 or better. Wire the devices to the push-in terminals with wire from 24 to 16 AWG. Draw the logic in the software and load it. Test every safety function before the machine runs. Keep a record of the configuration.

Requesting a quotation for the Banner SC10-2

SC10-2 safety rating

The page states Category 4, PL e and SIL CL 3, with a proof test interval of 20 years.

SC10-2 supply

The supply is 24 V DC plus or minus 20 percent, with 240 mA at most.

SC10-2 safety outputs

Outputs RO1 and RO2 each have 3 normally open contacts from two forced-guided relays in series.

SC10-2 contact life

The mechanical life is 20,000,000 cycles and the electrical life is 50,000 cycles at full load.

SC10-2 inputs

The controller has 10 terminals, with 4 convertible I/O terminals, and handles up to 70 safe devices.

SC10-2 Ethernet protocols

The Ethernet port supports EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP and PROFINET.

SC10-2 terminals

The push-in spring terminals take wire from 0.2 to 2.08 mm2.

SC10-2 operating conditions

The operating range is 0 to plus 55 degrees C, with humidity to 90 percent non-condensing.

Controller records for the SC10-2

Record the configuration file, the checksum and the date of each test.

Choosing the right SC10-2 setup

Use the controller where two safety relays would otherwise be needed, and add the Ethernet model where diagnostics are wanted.
