Banner Engineering SC22-3E-C Safety Controller

Banner Engineering SC22-3E-C Safety Controller is a 24 VDC safety controller that combines 22 input terminals with three independent, dual‑channel PNP safety outputs, each rated for 750 mA at 24 V DC. This Ethernet-enabled SC22-3E-C variant (part number 83368) is designed to monitor both safety and non-safety input devices and coordinate up to three machine primary control elements. It operates from a 24 V DC supply (±20%) and draws about 0.4 A no-load, rising to up to about 5.9 A when all outputs are on. The device provides SIL 3 compliance per IEC 62061 and IEC 61508 and ISO 13849-1 Category 4 (PL e) performance, with DIN-rail mounting on a 35 mm rail and IP 20 protection. In addition to the three safety outputs, the SC22-3E-C offers 10 non-safety status outputs (1 A total) and 32 virtual status outputs for software-based monitoring. The unit is UL/ULC listed and is designed to be configured for either solid-state or contact-based input devices. The kit typically includes removable cage-clamp terminals and may include an external memory card for configuration data. This model is part of Banner’s SC22 family, optimized for compact, configurable safety solutions that integrate E‑stop, interlocks, light curtains, two‑hand controls, safety mats, and other safeguarding devices into a single controller.
