The Banner XS16SI is a reliable and compact safety input module designed to expand the functionality of Banner’s XS series safety controllers. Built to support a wide range of safety devices, this input module allows manufacturers and automation engineers to scale their safety systems efficiently while maintaining compliance with international safety standards.

As a dedicated input module, the XS16SI enables the connection and monitoring of additional safety devices such as emergency stop buttons, interlock switches, two-hand controls, and safety light curtains. By adding inputs to a safety controller system, it supports more complex machine layouts or larger production lines that require multiple points of safeguarding. This modular approach reduces the need for multiple standalone safety relays and consolidates safety management into one unified architecture.

The XS16SI is fully expandable, meaning it integrates seamlessly with Banner’s XS safety controller family. This allows users to build scalable safety systems that can grow alongside production needs. Whether starting with a small machine or scaling up to a full production line, the XS16SI ensures flexibility without requiring complete system redesigns. Its modularity makes it an efficient investment for manufacturers seeking both present-day functionality and future-proofing.

Housed in a compact IP20-rated enclosure, the XS16SI is designed for installation within control cabinets and enclosures, where it is protected from dust, moisture, and harsh conditions. Its slim profile conserves valuable panel space while still offering robust functionality. This compact format supports easy integration in both new builds and retrofit projects where cabinet space may be limited.

The XS16SI is built to be straightforward and practical, focusing on reliable safety input expansion. It does not include features such as LCD displays or in-series diagnostics, making it a cost-effective solution for applications that do not require advanced diagnostics or local display feedback. Instead, it delivers essential safety functions with the same reliability and robustness Banner is known for, ensuring operators and systems remain protected without unnecessary cost or complexity.

In practical use, the XS16SI enhances safety, efficiency, and flexibility. By providing a means to expand input capacity, it allows safety controllers to manage multiple devices across larger or more complex machines. This reduces wiring complexity, consolidates safety logic, and ensures that safety events are detected and acted upon quickly. The result is improved compliance with safety regulations, reduced downtime, and greater operator confidence in the safety system.

In summary, the Banner XS16SI is a compact, expandable input module for XS series safety controllers. With its IP20-rated housing, expandable architecture, and ability to integrate seamlessly into existing safety systems, it offers manufacturers a reliable and cost-effective way to scale their safety capabilities. Ideal for applications that require additional input capacity without advanced diagnostics, the XS16SI ensures efficient and dependable safety system management.
