  • Expandable Safety Controller

    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
