Banner Engineering, a provider of technology for process and industrial automation, announces the addition of PROFINET communication to their popular SC26-2 and XS26-2 safety controllers.
SC26-2是一种多功能，易于使用且可配置的安全控制器，用于监视多个安全性和非安全输入设备，为机器提供安全的停止和启动功能，并具有危险的运动。XS26-2是SC26-2的可扩展版本，能够支持多达八个扩展I/O模块。在这些安全控制器中添加PROFINET工业协议可以使使用Profinet标准的任何连接设备（包括其他制造商的设备）实现简单而强大的通信渠道。该新功能与可用于以太网/IP，MODBUS/TCP或PCCC的功能匹配。
“Both the SC26-2 and the XS26-2 were designed to be adaptable to diverse and changing automation requirements and to simplify the management of complex safety systems,” said Tom McMonagle, Senior Director of Product Planning at Banner Engineering. “PROFINET communication builds on this versatility and ease-of-use by facilitating the integration of PROFINET-enabled peripheral devices into a safety system and by establishing a high-speed communication link between devices for real-time access to system data and diagnostics, which can reduce and even prevent unplanned downtime.”
这些模型最多可以配置为256个虚拟状态输出，可用于将非安全状态信号发送到可编程逻辑控制器（PLC），指示灯和类似设备。他们还支持虚拟非安全输入，包括手动重置，打开/关闭命令，静音启用和取消延期。
Additional features new to both safety controllers include delay function blocks, which allow a user-configurable ON or OFF delay, and track function block status output, which indicates the state of a particular function block. These additions complement an already impressive set of pre-engineered and pre-tested function blocks to further simplify configuration, streamline operation, and improve functionality.
The SC26-2 safety controller and base controller models of the XS26-2 expandable safety controller have 26 input terminals, four terminals for two redundant safety PNP outputs, a USB connection for loading configurations, and an optional on-board display. To meet requirements of diverse applications, the XS26-2 platform offers six I/O expansion module models with a variety of safety inputs, solid-state safety outputs and safety relay outputs. For efficient terminal use, the XS26-2 base controller and expansion modules allow a portion of the safety inputs to be configured as outputs.
