XS26 Series
With the option to add up to eight I/O expansion modules, utilize In-Series Diagnostics (ISD), and ability to share data via five different communication protocols, the XS26 expandable safety controller has the capacity to adapt to a variety of machines, including large-scale machines with multiple processes.
- In-Series Diagnostics (ISD) provides detailed status and performance data from each connected safety device, which can be accessed with an HMI or similar device
- Available communication protocols include EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus/TCP, PCCC, and PROFINET (EtherCAT available via XSeCAT EtherCAT Communication Module)
- Program in minutes with intuitive, easy-to-use configuration software
- Up to eight expansion I/O modules can be added as automation requirements grow or change
- Network accessible configuration and live view via Ethernet connection (available on Ethernet-enabled XS26 models with FID 7 or later)
- Choose from six expansion module models
- Expansion module models have a variety of safety inputs, solid-state safety outputs and safety relay outputs
- Innovative live display feature and diagnostics allow for active monitoring of I/O on a PC and assist in troubleshooting and commissioning
- Controller and input modules allow safety inputs to be converted to status outputs for efficient terminal use
- Ethernet-enabled models can be configured for up to 256 virtual status outputs
- SC-XM3 external drive for fast swap and quick configuration without a PC

Scalable Safety Control for Large Assembly Processes
Banner’s XS26-2 expandable safety controller is a scalable safety solution that can be tailored for a wide variety of machines, including large scale machines with multiple processes. With the ability to add up to eight I/O expansion modules, the XS26-2 has the capacity to adapt to larger footprint machines with multiple hazards and access points. Several preconfigured safety function and logic blocks are available in the intuitive programming software.
Safeguarding the Palletizer and Stretch Wrapper
Safeguarding areas around the palletizers and stretch wrappers can prove to be difficult because it involves multiple hazards. A scalable safety controller can help manage hazards related to the palletizer and stretch wrapper while ensuring efficient safeguarding processes.
Robotic Palletizer Safeguarding
Banner’s XS26-2 is a flexible, easy-to-use safety controller with an intuitive programming environment, with the capacity to handle current machine processes and the flexibility to add up to eight I/O expansion modules as machine automation grows or changes. A broad spectrum of safety devices are supported, allowing for complex applications to be configured and downloaded to the controller in a minimal amount of time for efficient machine commissioning.
