Banner Engineering SC26-2DE Safety Controller Base Control Module

The Banner Engineering SC26-2DE Safety Controller Base Controller is the non-expandable base module at the heart of the XS/SC26 safety controller system, providing a compact central controller for safety logic and I/O integration. It offers 26 input points and two pairs of PNP safety outputs (0.5 A each) to drive safety devices or relays, with eight convertible inputs for flexible configuration across different applications. A built‑in display delivers at‑a‑glance status and diagnostics, while Ethernet and USB interfaces enable programming, monitoring, and data exchange with compatible software. The unit operates on 24 V DC and draws about 160 mA, with removable screw-terminal blocks to simplify field wiring. This base controller is designed to be paired with other XS26-2/SC26-2 modules to build scalable machine-safety solutions, making it suitable for safeguarding automated lines, interlock and emergency-stop monitoring, and centralized safety control for conveyors or robotic cells. The model is Banner part 85068, explicitly identified as the SC26-2DE Safety Controller Base Module that serves as the core processing and communication hub in a modular safety system.
