Safety controller SC10 by Banner Engineering simplify complex safety systems and build-in advanced features and diagnostic capabilities to the equipment while achieving the highest levels of safety. Safety controller SC10 Series provides with Add-in Series diagnostics, easy access to Device-Level Data to increase equipment uptime
The SC10 series safety controllers offer intuitive operation, versatile IO capabilities, and industrial Ethernet connectivity. The addition of In-Series Diagnostics (ISD) to the SC10 makes it easy to access health, performance, and process data from each device connected to the safety controller.
Easy access to minimize and prevent unplanned downtime

In-Series Diagnostics provides easy access to device-level data that can be used to prevent potential problems and quickly correct issues that stop operations.
Using an HMI or similar device, staff can view the status and location of each device and drill into the data to determine system health and performance.
The system can even be configured to alert, direct, and instruct staff when a critical event occurs to get equipment back up and running as soon as possible.
The intuitive user interface to create error-free safety systems

The combination of an intuitive user interface and In-Series Diagnostics makes it easy to design and troubleshoot complex safety systems.
Drag-and-drop operation allows users to add devices and functionality to their system in just a few clicks.
When the configuration has been tested and confirmed the software generates wiring diagrams to guide installation.
Data collected from each device can be used to troubleshoot the entire system and identify errors prior to deployment.
Reduce deployment time and complexity in order to collect diagnostic data

Eliminate the time, hassle and expense of running designated cabling between each device and the control panel in order to collect diagnostic data.
In-Series Diagnostics collects data using the same cables, connectors, adaptors, and inputs that connect each device to the SC10 safety controller.
Users can easily add, move, or remove devices at any stage of a machine’s lifecycle by simply updating the configuration in the software and implementing the changes indicated in the wiring diagram.
Reduced time required with integrate safety system with a PLC in minuts

The export tag feature available with SC10, SC26, and XS26 Series safety controllers dramatically reduces the time required to name and configure functions in the PLC.
Simply select export in the Industrial Ethernet interface of the safety controller, set the parameters, and save the file.
Safety controller inputs, outputs, functions, and other variables will auto populate in the PLC once the file has been imported.
This eliminates the need to manually recreate each line of information and ensures consistency between the devices.
Safety controller SC10 operates at the highest level of safety (PL E)
SC10 Series safety controllers and up to 64 In-Series Diagnostic compatible devices achieve Category 4, PL e, or SIL CL 3 safety ratings. Outputs on each device are continuously monitored to detect any faults, including short circuits. This design eliminates the possibility of fault masking at any point in the system.
The applications
An In-Series diagnostics safety system using the safety controller SC10 can monitor a wide range of input devices. These systems are typically used to provide safe stop and start functions on machines and equipment with multiple safety devices and requiring two or more safety relays, including, but not limited to the following:
- Assembly stations and robotics;
- Work cells;
- Conveying lines;
- Food and beverage equipment;
- Packaging machines;
- Test equipment;
- Pharmacetical producton equipment;
- Electronics and semiconductor production equipment.
In-Series Diagnostics safety systems can also be used in combination with SI-RF Series safety switches and other devices to solve a number process applications, including, but not limited to:
- machine rotation Indexing;
- tool identification Position verification.
