Interface Modules For Use With a Primary Safety Device

• Interface Modules provide isolated safety output contacts for a primary

safety device (for example, a safety light screen or safety module) which has

solid-state or hard contact outputs and external device monitoring (EDM)

capability.

• Model IM-T-9A features three normally open 6 amp redundant-output

channels.

• Model IM-T-11A features two normally open redundant-output channels and

one normally closed non-safety auxiliary output channel, all rated at 6 amps.

• Normally closed outputs for connection to the primary safety device’s

monitoring input.

• 24 V dc operation

• 22.5 mm (0.9 inch) DIN-rail-mountable housing

• Convenient plug-in terminal blocks

WARNING: Not a Stand-Alone Safeguarding Device

This Banner device is not a stand-alone point-of-operation guarding device, as defined by

OSHA regulations. It is necessary to install point-of-operation guarding devices, such as safety light

screens and/or hard guards, to protect personnel from hazardous machinery. Failure to install point-

of-operation guards on hazardous machinery can result in a dangerous condition which could

lead to serious injury or death.

Overview

Interface Modules IM-T-9A and IM-T-11A (the Interface Modules) operate on 24V dc inputs and provide isolated redundant

output channels for interfacing dc safety controls (such as safety light screens or other safety modules) to safety circuits.

These modules can also be used to switch low power capacity of safety controls with low current output rating (see hookup

figures and the output configuration specifications).

The outputs of the Interface Module will follow the action of the safety outputs from the primary safety device which

control it, within a 20 millisecond switching delay time. The Interface Module’s normally open outputs each are rated for up

to 250V ac/dc at up to 6 amps.

The Interface Module offers a series connection of normally closed contacts (labeled Y1-Y2 and Y3-Y4) for monitoring by

the external device monitoring (EDM) function of the primary safety device. These forced-guided (mechanically-linked)

contacts allow the safety device to detect failures of the Interface Module, and at a minimum, must be monitored in

applications requiring Control Reliability per OSHA/ANSI or Category 3 or 4 per ISO13849-1.

If your machine documentation leaves any doubt about the proper connection points for the Interface Module output contacts, do not make any connections. Contact the machine builder for clarification regarding connection to the MPCEs. Two-Channel Control: Two-channel control allows the Primary Safety Device to detect an unsafe failure of the control wires.

IM-T-9A and IM-T-11A Interface Modules CAUTION: Abuse of Module After Failure If an internal fault has occurred and the Module will not reset, do not tap, strike, or otherwise attempt to correct the fault by a physical impact to the housing. An internal relay may have failed in such a manner that its replacement is required. If the Module is not immediately replaced or repaired, multiple simultaneous failures may accumulate such that the safety function can not be guaranteed.
