The Banner XS2SO is a dependable safety controller output module designed to expand the output functionality of Banner’s modular safety controller systems. It is a critical component in applications where additional safety outputs are required to manage machine operations and protect personnel in compliance with international safety standards.

As an output module, the XS2SO is responsible for relaying safety signals to downstream devices, such as actuators, motor drives, relays, or contactors. By providing reliable control of these devices, the module ensures that hazardous machinery can be safely stopped or disabled when safety inputs are triggered. This makes it an essential link between safety logic and machine operation.

Operating on a 24 V DC supply voltage, the XS2SO is compatible with standard industrial control systems. Its consistent voltage range ensures stable performance without requiring additional power conditioning. This allows the module to be seamlessly integrated into both new safety system builds and retrofits, reducing installation complexity and maintaining dependable operation.

With an IP20 rating, the XS2SO is designed for use within protected environments such as control cabinets or electrical enclosures. While not intended for direct exposure to dust, water, or harsh conditions, this rating provides sufficient protection for panel-based installations where the device remains shielded from external environmental stressors. The compact housing also conserves valuable panel space, supporting efficient enclosure design.

The XS2SO does not feature in-series diagnostics (ISD), focusing instead on straightforward, reliable safety output control. This simplified design reduces wiring requirements, lowers costs, and ensures ease of installation. For applications where advanced diagnostic data is not essential, the XS2SO offers an efficient and effective solution.

As part of Banner’s modular safety system, the XS2SO provides valuable expandability. When base controllers reach their built-in output capacity, additional XS2SO modules can be added to increase system flexibility. This modular approach supports scalability, allowing facilities to adapt their safety systems as production lines grow or equipment layouts change, without requiring a full system redesign.

The typical applications of the XS2SO include machine stop functions, emergency stop integration, disabling motor power, controlling actuators, and interlocking machinery. It is widely used in industries such as packaging, automotive, robotics, material handling, and assembly operations, where multiple outputs are required to safeguard complex machinery and workflows.

In summary, the Banner XS2SO Safety Controller Output Module combines 24 V DC operation, cabinet-ready IP20 protection, scalable modular design, and reliable safety output control in one compact and dependable package. Ideal for applications requiring additional safety outputs, it helps engineers and system designers create flexible, standards-compliant, and efficient safety systems that ensure both worker protection and operational productivity.
