6 System Installation
6.1 Installing the Software
Important: Administrative rights are required to install the Safety Controller drivers (needed for
communication with the controller).
1. Download the latest version of the software from
www.bannerengineering.com/safetycontroller
.
2. Navigate to and open the downloaded file.
3. Click Next to begin the installation process.
4. Confirm the software destination and availability for users and click Next.
5. Click Next to install the software.
6. Depending on your system settings, a popup window may appear prompting to allow Banner Safety Controller to
make changes to your computer. Click Yes.
7. Click Close to exit the installer.
Open Banner Safety Controller from the Desktop or the Start Menu.
6.2 Installing the Safety Controller
Do not exceed the operating specifications for reliable operation. The enclosure must provide adequate heat dissipation so
that the air closely surrounding the Safety Controller does not exceed its maximum operating temperature (see
Specifications and Requirements
on page 16).
Important: Mount the Safety Controller in a location that is free from large shocks and high-amplitude
vibration.
CAUTION: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can cause damage to electronic equipment. To prevent this,
follow the proper ESD handling practices such as wearing an approved wrist strap or other grounding
products, or touching a grounded object before handling the modules. See ANSI/ESD S20.20 for further
information about managing ESD.
6.2.1 Mounting Instructions
The Safety Controller mounts to a standard 35 mm DIN-rail track. It must be installed inside an enclosure rated NEMA 3
(IEC IP54) or better. It should be mounted to a vertical surface with the vent openings at the bottom and the top to allow for
natural convection cooling.
Follow the mounting instructions to avoid damage to the Safety Controller.
To mount the SC26-2 Programmable Safety Controller, XS26-2 Programmable Safety Controller, XS2so and XS4so Solid-
State Safety Output Modules, XS8si and XS16si Safety Input Modules, XS1ro and XS2ro Safety Relay Modules, and SC10-2
Safety Controller:
1. Tilt the top of the module slightly backward and place it on the DIN rail.
2. Straighten the module against the rail.
3. Lower the module onto the rail.
To remove the SC26-2 Programmable Safety Controller, XS26-2 Programmable Safety Controller, XS2so and XS4so Solid-
State Safety Output Modules, XS8si and XS16si Safety Input Modules, XS1ro and XS2ro Safety Relay Modules, and SC10-2
Safety Controller:
1. Push up on the bottom of the module.
2. Tilt the top of the module slightly forward.
3. Lower the module after the top rigid clip is clear of the DIN rail.
Note: To remove an expansion module, pull apart other modules on each side of the desired module to
free bus connectors.
