WARNING:
• Not a stand-alone point-of-operation guarding device
• This Banner Engineering Corp. device is not a stand-alone point-of-operation guarding device, as
defined by OSHA regulations. Failure to install point-of-operation guards on hazardous machinery can
result in a dangerous condition that could lead to serious injury or death.
• Install point-of-operation guarding devices, such as safety light curtains and/or hard guards, to protect
personnel from hazardous machinery.
Overview
The IM-T-9A and -11A Interface Module operates on 24 V dc inputs and provides isolated redundant output channels for interfacing
dc safety controls (such as safety light screens or other safety modules) to safety circuits. The Interface Module can also be used to
switch low power capacity of safety controls with low current output rating (see wiring diagrams 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 250 V ac/dc at up to 6
amps. (See Specifications for derate curves.)
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.

Primary Safety Device Requirements
IM-T-9A and -11A Interface Module are driven by one or two safety output channels of a primary safety device. For higher risk
applications, the design of the primary safety device must meet OSHA/ANSI control reliability requirements (U.S. applications) or
ISO/IEC/EN Category 3 or 4, Performance Level d or e, and SIL 2 or 3 requirements for European applications. The Interface
Module must be used only with primary safety devices that have External Device Monitoring capability (see wiring figures and the
Warning Interfacing MPCEs).
At a minimum, each output channel of the primary safety device must:
• Include one normally open forced-guided (mechanically linked) contact, or
• Include one solid-state 24V dc sourcing safety output (OSSD), and
• Be self-monitored to result in a safe (OFF) condition in the event of a failure, and
• Be capable of switching 50 mA at 24 V dc ± 15%.
NOTE: As OSSD solid-state outputs on primary safety devices very often are pulsed, it is possible that the relay coils will produce an
audible buzzing. This relay buzzing does not affect the function of the Interface Module, as long as the pulse width is below 500 μs
(microseconds) and the duty cycle (t1/ t2) is greater than 500.
Final Switching Device (FSD): The component of the machine’s safety-related control system that interrupts the circuit to the
machine primary control element (MPCE) when the output signal switching device (OSSD) goes to the OFF-state.
Output Signal Switching Device (OSSD): The component of the electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE) connected to the
control system of the machine which, when the sensing device is actuated during normal operation, responds by going to the OFFstate.

IM-T-9A and IM-T-11A Interface Module
WARNING: Not for use as a safety monitoring module
1. DO NOT connect E-stop switches, 2-hand control actuators/switches, safety interlock switches, or
similar devices directly to this Interface Module.
2. ALWAYS connect terminals Y1-Y2 and Y3-Y4 of this Interface Module to the monitoring input of the
primary safety device that controls it.
This Interface Module does not have the circuitry required to perform a self-check. A single fault inside the unit
or in external devices (like switches or emergency stop buttons) can go undetected and create an unsafe
condition. Failure to properly connect this Interface Module to a primary safety device with a monitoring function
could result in serious injury or death.
Mechanical Installation
The Interface Module must be installed inside an enclosure.
It is not designed for exposed wiring. It is the user’s responsibility to house the Interface Module in an enclosure with NEMA 3 (IEC
IP54) rating, or better. The Interface Module mounts directly to standard 35 mm DIN rail.
Heat Dissipation Considerations: For reliable operation, ensure that the operating specifications are not exceeded. The enclosure
must provide adequate heat dissipation, so that the air closely surrounding the Interface Module does not exceed the maximum
operating temperature stated in the Specifications. Methods to reduce heat build-up include venting, forced airflow (for example,
exhaust fans), adequate enclosure exterior surface area, and spacing between modules and other sources of heat.
Electrical Installation
WARNING:
• Risk of electric shock
• Use extreme caution to avoid electrical shock. Serious injury or death could result.
• Always disconnect power from the safety system (for example, device, module, interfacing, etc.),
guarded machine, and/or the machine being controlled before making any connections or replacing any
component. Lockout/tagout procedures might be required. Refer to OSHA 29CFR1910.147, ANSI
Z244-1, or the applicable standard for controlling hazardous energy.
• Make no more connections to the device or system than are described in this manual. Electrical
installation and wiring must be made by a Qualified Person 1 and must comply with the applicable
electrical standards and wiring codes, such as the NEC (National Electrical Code), NFPA 79, or IEC
60204-1, and all applicable local standards and codes.
WARNING:
• Determine the safety category
• The design and installation of the safety devices and the means of interfacing of those devices could
greatly affect the level of safety circuit integrity.
• Perform a risk assessment to determine the appropriate safety circuit integrity level or safety category,
as described by ISO 13849-1, to ensure that the expected risk reduction is achieved and that all
applicable regulations and standards are met.
CAUTION: When FSD1 switches +24 V DC and FSD2 switches 0 V DC (Figures 4 and 5), a short circuit
between the wires leading to S1, S2, S3 and S4 is detected immediately and K1 and K2 de-energize. However,
a short circuit can result in a high current through the FSD1 and FSD2 contacts, so the current coming from the
24 V DC supply connected to FSD1 and FSD2 must be fused or limited to 6 amps maximum. Otherwise,
damage to the primary safety device may result.
It is not possible to give exact wiring instructions for a Safety Module that interfaces to a multitude of machine control configurations.
The following guidelines are general in nature.
The Safety Module has no delay function. Its output relay contacts open within 20 milliseconds after a safety input opens. This
classifies the Safety Module as functional stop "Category 0" control, as defined by ANSI NFPA 79 and IEC/EN 60204-1.
The inputs can be connected to (that meet the requirements for primary safety device above):
•
•
A +24 V DC solid-state (PNP) outputs in single-channel or dual-channel wiring configuration, or
A +24 V/0 V DC source that is switched by hard/relay contacts in single-channel or dual-channel wiring configuration.
The dual-channel wiring configuration allows the primary safety device to detect certain failures and faults, such as short circuits,
that could result in a loss of the safety function. Two-channel control should be used whenever unsafe failure of the control wires
cannot be eliminated. The first circuit shown below can meet ISO 13849-1 Category 2, 3, or 4 requirements, depending on the safety
rating and the installation of the primary safety device.

(see WARNING)
Although this wiring diagram shows model IM-T-9A, the
connection for model IM-T-11A is identical.
The single-channel input wiring configuration can not detect short circuits to secondary sources of +24 V DC or detect the loss of the
switching function of the primary safety device (i.e., it is not redundant) and thus this circuit typically can meet only ISO 13849-1
Category 2.
It is recommended that in all circumstances the installation of the Interface Module and its associated primary safety device are
installed to eliminate or minimize the possibility of failures and faults that could result in the loss of the safety function(s). Methods to
eliminate or minimize the possibility of these failures include, but are not limited to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Physically separating interconnecting control wires from each other and from secondary sources of power.
Routing interconnecting control wires in separate conduit, runs, or channels.
Locating all elements (modules, switches, and devices under control) within one control panel, adjacent to each other, and
directly connected with short wires.
Properly installing multi-conductor cabling and multiple wires through strain-relief fittings. (Overtightening of a strain-relief
can cause short circuits at that point.)
Using positive-opening components as described by IEC 60947-5-1 installed and mounted in a positive mode.
Periodically checking the functional integrity / safety function and training operators, maintenance personnel, and others
associated with the operation of the machine to recognize and immediately correct such failures.
If you have any questions about your intended use, please contact a Banner applications engineer at the numbers listed on the last
page.
Connection to the Machine to be Controlled
The wiring diagrams show a generic connection of two safety output channels of the Interface Module to Machine Primary Control
Elements MPCE1 and MPCE2. A Machine Primary Control Element is an electrically powered device, external to the Interface
Module, which stops the machinery being controlled by immediately removing electrical power from the machine and (when
necessary) by applying braking to dangerous motion.

External Device Monitoring
To satisfy the requirements of Control Reliability (OSHA and ANSI), Category 3 and 4 of ISO 13849-1 (EN 954-1), the Machine
Primary Control Elements (MPCEs) must each offer a normally closed, forced-guided (mechanically linked) monitor contact. Connect
one normally closed monitor contact from each Machine Primary Control Element as shown in the appropriate hookup drawing (on
previous pages).
In operation, if one of the switching contacts of either MPCE fails in the energized condition, the associated monitor contact will
remain open. Therefore, it will not be possible to reset the Primary Safety Device. If no MPCE-monitor contacts are monitored, it is
the user's responsibility to ensure that any single failure will not result in a hazardous condition and will prevent a successive
machine cycle.
Overvoltage Category II and III Installations (EN 50178 and IEC 60664-1)
The Interface Module is rated for Overvoltage Category III when voltages of 1 V to 150 V AC/DC are applied to the output relay
contacts. It is rated for Overvoltage Category II when voltages of 151 V to 250 V AC/DC are applied to the output relay contacts and
no additional precautions are taken to attenuate possible overvoltage situations in the supply voltage. The Interface Module can be
used in an Overvoltage Category III environment (with voltages of 151 V to 250 V AC/DC) if care is taken either to reduce the level
of electrical disturbances seen by the Interface Module to Overvoltage Category II levels by installing surge suppressor devices (for
example, arc suppressors), or to install extra external insulation in order to isolate both the Interface Module and the user from the
higher voltage levels of a Category III environment.
For Overvoltage Category III installations with applied voltages from 151 V to 250 V AC/DC applied to the output contact(s):
the Interface Module may be used under the conditions of a higher overvoltage category where appropriate overvoltage reduction is
provided. Appropriate methods include:
• An overvoltage protective device
• A transformer with isolated windings
• A distribution system with multiple branch circuits (capable of diverting energy of surges)
• A capacitance capable of absorbing energy of surges
• A resistance or similar damping device capable of dissipating the energy of surges
When switching inductive AC loads, it is good practice to protect the Interface Module outputs by installing appropriately-sized arc
suppressors. However, if arc suppressors are used, they must be installed across the load being switched (for example, across the
coils of external safety relays), and never across the Interface Module’s output contacts (see WARNING, Arc Suppressors).
Auxiliary Monitor Contact (Model ..11A Only)
The action of the auxiliary monitor contact, terminals 31-32, inversely "follows" the action of the safety outputs. The 31-32 auxiliary
monitor contact is to be used only for control functions that are NOT safety-related. A typical use is to communicate the status of the
Interface Module output to a programmable logic controller (PLC).
Many types of mechanisms are used to arrest dangerous machine motion. Examples include mechanical braking systems, clutch
mechanisms, and combinations of brakes and clutches. Additionally, control of the arresting scheme may be hydraulic or pneumatic.
As a result, an MPCE may be one of several control types, including a wide variety of contactors and electromechanical valves. 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. Twochannel control should be used whenever unsafe failure of the control wires cannot be eliminated.

IM-T-9A and IM-T-11A Interface Module
The outputs of the primary safety device must at minimum, comply with the requirements described on page 5. These outputs must
be monitored for failure by the primary safety device. In addition, a single output failure cannot prevent normal stopping action, and a
successive cycle cannot be initiated until the failure has been corrected.
Note: NOTICE regarding MPCEs To achieve control reliability, two Machine Primary Control Elements (MPCEs)
are required to control each machine hazard. Each MPCE must be capable of immediately stopping the
dangerous machine motion, irrespective of the state of the other. Some machines offer only one primary control
element. For such machines, it is necessary to duplicate the circuit of the single MPCE to add a second MPCE.
MPCEs must offer at least one forced-guided auxiliary contact which is wired to the monitoring contact feedback
input of the primary safety device (see hookup diagrams).
WARNING: Interfacing MPCEs.
NEVER wire any intermediate device(s) (e.g., PLC, PES, PC), between the Interface Module outputs and the
Machine Primary Control Elements (MPCE1 to MPCE3) it switches, in such a manner that in the event of a
failure there is the loss of the safety stop command, OR in such a manner that the safety function can be
suspended, overridden, or defeated, unless accomplished with the same or greater degree of safety. Whenever
forced-guided, mechanically linked relays are added as intermediate switching devices, a normally closed
forced-guided monitor contact from each relay must be added to the series feedback loop between Interface
Module terminals Y1, Y2, Y3, and Y4.
Initial and Periodic Checkout Procedure
The Interface Module can be used safely only when its operation is controlled via an appropriate primary safety device, connected to
the Interface according to the wiring diagrams shown in the wiring diagrams.
CAUTION:
• Disconnect power prior to checkout
• Dangerous voltages might be present along the module wiring barriers whenever power to the machine
control elements is on.
• Before performing the initial checkout procedure, disconnect all power from the machine to be
controlled. Exercise extreme caution whenever machine control power is or might be present. Always
disconnect power to the machine control elements before opening the enclosure housing of the module.
The functioning of the Interface Module and the device(s) connected to it must be verified at initial installation and on a regular
periodic basis to ensure proper operation (see also the machine manufacturer's recommendations).
1. Remove the power controlling (and switched by) the machine control elements.
2. Verify the primary safety device that will be controlling the Interface Module is operating correctly, according to its product
documentation and manufacturer’s recommendations.
3. Confirm proper connection of the Interface Module to the controlling primary safety device according to the wiring diagram.
4. Verify all Interface Module output contacts follow exactly the operation of the safety output contacts of the controlling primary
safety device, when the primary safety device is operated according to its product documentation and manufacturer’s
recommendations.
