Overview
An Emergency Stop Safety Module is used to increase the control
reliability of an emergency stop circuit. As shown in the wiring
drawings, the models ES-UA-5A and ES-VA-5A E-Stop Safety
Modules (the Safety Modules) are designed to monitor a 1-channel
or 2-channel E-stop switch. A 2-channel E-stop switch has two
electrically isolated contacts.

Safety Circuit Integrity and EN ISO 13849-1 Safety Circuit Principles
Safety circuits involve the safety-related functions of a machine that minimize the level of risk of harm. These safety-related functions
can prevent initiation, or they can stop or remove a hazard. The failure of a safety-related function or its associated safety circuit
usually results in an increased risk of harm.
The integrity of a safety circuit depends on several factors, including fault tolerance, risk reduction, reliable and well-tried
components, well-tried safety principles, and other design considerations.
Depending on the level of risk associated with the machine or its operation, an appropriate level of safety circuit integrity
(performance) must be incorporated into its design. Standards that detail safety performance levels include ANSI B11.19
Performance Criteria for Safeguarding and EN ISO 13849-1 Safety-Related Parts of a Control System.
Safety Circuit Integrity Levels
The safety circuits in International and European standards have been segmented into categories, depending on their ability to
maintain their integrity in the event of a failure. The most recognized standard that details safety circuit integrity levels is ISO
13849-1 (EN954-1), which establishes five levels: Categories B, 1, 2, 3, and 4 (most strict).
In the United States, the typical level of safety circuit integrity is called control reliability. Control reliability typically incorporates
redundant control and self-checking circuitry and is relatively similar to ISO 13849-1 Categories 3 and 4 (see CSA Z432 and ANSI
B11.19).
Perform a risk assessment to determine the appropriate category to make sure that the expected risk reduction is achieved to
implement the requirements described by ISO 13849-1. This risk assessment must also take into account the national regulations,
such as U.S. control reliability or European "C" level standards, to comply with the mandated minimum levels of performance.
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.

ES-UA-5A and ES-VA-5A E-Stop Safety Module
Fault Exclusion
An important concept within the category requirements of EN ISO 13849-1 is the probability of the occurrence of the failure, which
can be decreased using the "fault exclusion" method. This method assumes that the possibility of certain well-defined failure(s) can
be reduced to a point where the resulting fault(s) can be disregarded.
Fault exclusion is a tool a designer can use during the development of the safety-related part of the control system and the risk
assessment process. It allows the designer to eliminate the possibility of various failures and justify it through the risk assessment
process to meet the requirements of Categories 2, 3, or 4. See EN ISO 13849-1/-2 for further information.
Monitoring of Safety Devices
Requirements vary widely for the level of control reliability or safety category per ISO 13849-1 (EN954-1) in safety applications.
While Banner Engineering always recommends the highest level of safety in any application, it is the responsibility of the user to
safely install, operate and maintain each safety system and comply with all relevant laws and regulations.
Although only a few applications are listed, the Module can monitor a variety of devices as long as the input requirements are
complied with (see Electrical Installation and Specifications). The Safety Module does not have 500 ms simultaneity between inputs
and thus cannot be used for monitoring a two-hand control. In all cases, the safety performance (integrity) must reduce the risk from
identified hazards as determined by the machine's risk assessment.
WARNING:
• Do not mute or bypass any emergency stop device
• Muting or bypassing the safety outputs renders the emergency stop function ineffective.
• ANSI B11.19, NFPA 79 and IEC/EN 60204-1 require that the emergency stop function remains active at
all times.
Emergency Stop Push Buttons and Rope/Cable Pull Switches
The safety inputs can be interfaced with positive-opening switches to monitor an emergency-stop (E-stop) push button or rope/cable
pull. The switch must provide one or two contacts for safety which are closed when the switch is armed. Once activated, the E-stop
switch must open all its safety-rated contacts, and must require a deliberate action (such as twisting, pulling, or unlocking) to return
to the closed-contact, armed position. The switch must be a "positive-opening" (or direct-opening) type, as described by IEC
60947-5-1.
Standards ANSI NFPA 79, ANSI B11.19,, IEC/EN60204-1, and ISO 13850 specify additional emergency stop switch device
requirements, including the following:
• Emergency-stop push buttons shall be located at each operator control station and at other operating stations where
emergency shutdown is required.
• Stop and emergency-stop push buttons shall be continuously operable and readily accessible from all control and operating
stations where located. Do not mute or bypass E-stop buttons or rope/cable pulls.
• Actuators of emergency-stop devices shall be colored red. The background immediately around the device actuator shall be
colored yellow (where possible). The actuator of a push-button-operated device shall be of the palm or mushroom-head
type.
• The emergency-stop actuator shall be a self-latching type.
In addition, for Rope/Cable Pull Installations Only:
• The wire rope should be easily visible and readily accessible along its entire length. Red markers or flags may be fixed on
the rope to increase its visibility.
• The rope or cable pull must provide constant tension and must have the capability to react to a force in any direction.
• Mounting points, including support points, must be rigid.
• The rope should be free of friction at all supports. Pulleys are recommended.
• The switch must have a self-latching function that requires a manual reset after actuation
Some applications may have additional requirements; comply with all relevant regulations. See the device manufacturer installation
instructions for complete information (such as SSA-EB1..-.. p/n 162275, or RP-RM83F.. p/n 141245 datasheets).
WARNING:
• Do not mute or bypass any emergency stop device
• Muting or bypassing the safety outputs renders the emergency stop function ineffective.
• ANSI B11.19, NFPA 79 and IEC/EN 60204-1 require that the emergency stop function remains active at
all times.
Interlocked Guards (Gates)
The safety inputs can be interfaced with positive-opening safety switches to monitor the position of an interlock guard or gate. Each
switch must provide electrically isolated contacts: at minimum, one normally closed (N.C.) contact from each individually mounted
switch. The contacts must be of "positive-opening" (direct-opening) design, as described by IEC60947- 5-1, with one or more
normally closed contacts rated for safety. In addition, the switches must be mounted in a "positive mode," to move/disengage the
actuator from its home position and open the normally closed contact when the guard opens.
The design and installation of the interlocked guard and the safety switches should comply with ANSI B11.19, ISO14119, ISO
14120, and/or other applicable standards. See the device manufacturer installation instructions for complete information (such as
GM-FA-10J p/n 60998, SI-LS83/-LS100 p/n 59622, or SI-HG63 p/n 129465 datasheets).

ES-UA-5A and ES-VA-5A E-Stop Safety Module
In higher levels of safety performance, the design of a dual-channel coded magnetic switch typically uses complementary switching,
in which one channel is open and one channel is closed at all times. The inputs of the Safety Module do not support
complementary switching, and thus should not be used with coded magnetic safety switches.
Mechanical Installation
The ES-xA-5A E-Stop Safety Module must be installed inside an enclosure.
It is not designed for exposed wiring. It is the user’s responsibility to house the ES-xA-5A E-Stop Safety Module in an enclosure with
NEMA 3 (IEC IP54) rating, or better. The ES-xA-5A E-Stop Safety 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 ES-xA-5A E-Stop Safety 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.
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 25 milliseconds after a safety input opens. This
classifies the Safety Module as a functional stop "Category 0" control, as defined by ANSI NFPA 79 and IEC/EN 60204-1.
The Safety Module is powered by either a 12-24 V DC supply at 4 W or an AC supply (115 V AC, model ES-UA-5A, or 230 V AC,
model ES-VA-5A) at 7 VA. The safety inputs can be connected to:
•
•
A +24 V DC source that is switched by a hard/relay contact in single-channel hookup configuration, or
Hard/relay contacts in a dual-channel wiring configuration using terminals S11-S12 and S21-S22.
Safety Input Device Wiring Options
The operation of all dual-channel wiring options is concurrent, meaning that input channel 1 and input channel 2 must be in the same
state in both the STOP and RUN condition, but with no simultaneity (timing) requirement between the channels.
The dual-channel wiring configuration is able to detect certain failures and faults, such as short circuits, that could result in a loss
of the safety function. Once such a failure or fault is detected, the Safety Module will turn OFF (open) its safety outputs until the
problem is fixed. This circuit can meet ISO 13849-1 Category 2, 3, or 4 requirements, depending on the safety rating and the
installation of the safety input device. This circuit can detect a short circuit between channels or to another source of power, at a
minimum, when the device is actuated.
A single device with redundant outputs that can fail in such a manner to lose the safety function, such as a single safety interlocking
switch, can typically meet only a Category 2. See below for means to eliminate or minimize the possibility of failures and faults that
could result in the loss of the safety function(s).
The single-channel wiring configuration cannot detect short circuits to secondary sources of +24 V DC or detect the loss of the
switching function of the safety input device (that is, 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 Safety Module and its associated safety input devices 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. (Over-tightening of a strain-relief
can cause short circuits at that point.)
• Using positive-opening components as described by IEC 60947-5-1 that are installed and mounted in a positive mode.

Connection of Multiple Switches
Connect the poles of multiple switches, such as E-Stop switches, as shown in the following hookup figures. The switches are shown
in the "armed" position with both contacts closed. Multiple switches connected to one Safety Module must be series connected.

WARNING:
• Test multiple safety devices individually
• Failure to test each safety device individually could result in undetected faults and create an unsafe
condition that could result in serious injury or death.
• When two or more safety devices are used, individually actuate each device, causing a stop or opencontact condition, then reset/rearm the safety module (if using manual reset mode). This allows the
monitoring circuits to check each device and its wiring to detect faults.
Note: The minimum amount of time for the Module to detect a STOP condition is 15 milliseconds. This "recovery
time" (OFF state) is required for the internal integrity tests to complete, allowing a reliable reset to occur. A
lockout may occur if the Module is cycled too quickly. To clear the lockout, the inputs must be re-cycled, meeting
the minimum recovery time requirements.
Connection of Safety Switches
The Safety Module may be used to monitor safety interlocking
switches that determine the position of a guard or gate. To achieve
Category 4 operation per ISO 13849-1 (EN 954-1), two positiveopening safety switches must operate concurrently when the guard
or gate is opened.
The Safety Module verifies concurrent opening of two contacts –
one from each safety switch. Reset of the Safety Module is not
possible if one switch fails to open or if a short circuit between the
safety interlocking switches occurs.

ES-UA-5A and ES-VA-5A E-Stop Safety Module
Connection of Reset Switch
The reset circuit switch can be any mechanical switch, such as a normally open momentary switch, or a two-position key switch. The
reset switch must be capable of reliably switching 12 to 30 V DC at 20 to 50 milliamps. As shown in the wiring diagrams, the reset
switch connects between Safety Module terminals S33 and S34.
The reset switch must be located outside of – and not be accessible from – the area of dangerous motion, and must be positioned
so that any area of dangerous motion may be observed by the switch operator during the reset procedure. See warning below.
WARNING:
• Install reset switches properly
• Failure to properly install reset switches could result in serious injury or death.
• Install reset switches so that they are accessible only from outside, and in full view of, the safeguarded
space. Reset switches cannot be accessible from within the safeguarded space. Protect reset switches
against unauthorized or inadvertent operation (for example, through the use of rings or guards). If there
are any hazardous areas that are not visible from the reset switches, provide additional safeguarding.
Automatic Reset Mode
The Safety Module may be configured (via hookup) for automatic reset. Leave terminals S33 and S34 open and install a jumper
between terminals S32 and S35 (see hookups). The Safety Module will reset (and its outputs energize) as soon as the switch
returns to its armed (closed-contact) position.
Automatic reset is useful for some automated processes. However, if automatic reset is used, it is necessary to provide a
means of preventing resumption of hazardous machine motion, until an alternate reset procedure is performed. The
alternate procedure must include a reset/restart switch, located outside the area of dangerous motion and positioned so that any
area of dangerous motion may be observed by the switch operator during the reset procedure.
WARNING:
• Reset routine required
• Failure to prevent the machine from restarting without actuating the normal start command/device can
create an unsafe condition that could result in serious injury or death.
• Do not allow the machine to restart without actuating the normal start command/device. Perform the
reset routine after clearing the cause of a stop condition, as required by U.S. and international
standards.
Connection to the Machine to be Controlled
The machine hookup diagram shows a generic connection of the Safety Module's redundant output circuits to the master stop
control elements (MSCs). An MSC is defined as an electrically powered device, external to the Safety Module, which stops the
machinery being controlled by immediately removing electrical power to the machine and (when necessary) by applying braking to
dangerous motion. This stopping action is accomplished by removing power to the actuator of either MSC.
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
(circuit between terminals S31 and S32, jumper if no MSC contacts are monitored).
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.

ES-UA-5A and ES-VA-5A E-Stop Safety Module
WARNING:
• Properly install arc or transient suppressors
• Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.
• Install any suppressors as shown across the coils of the machine primary control elements. Do not
install suppressors directly across the output contacts of the safety or interface module. In such a
configuration, it is possible for suppressors to fail as a short circuit.
WARNING:
• Interfacing master stop controls
• Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.
• Unless the same degree of safety is maintained, never wire an intermediate device(s) (PLC, PES, PC)
between the safety module outputs and the master stop control element it switches such that a failure
causes a loss of the safety stop command or the failure allows the safety function to be suspended,
overridden, or defeated.
• When forced-guided, mechanically linked relays are added as intermediate switching devices, a
normally closed (N.C.) forced-guided monitor contact from each relay must be added to the series
feedback loop or properly wired external device monitoring channel.
Overvoltage Category II and III Installations (EN 50178 and IEC 60664-1)
The ES-xA-5A E-Stop Safety 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 ES-xA-5A EStop Safety 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 ES-xA-5A E-Stop Safety 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
ES-xA-5A E-Stop Safety 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 ES-xA-5A E-Stop Safety 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 ES-xA-5A E-Stop Safety 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 ES-xA-5A E-Stop Safety Module’s output contacts.
Auxiliary Monitor Contact/Solid-State Monitor Outputs Connection
The action of the auxiliary monitor contact, terminals 51-52, inversely "follows" the action of the safety outputs. Two additional solidstate monitor outputs (at terminals Y32 and Y35) each are capable of switching up to 100 mA at 12- 24 V dc. The output at terminal
Y32 follows the action of the output circuits (K1 and K2); the output at terminal Y35 opens (low signal) when there is a loss of power
or a fault is detected. These outputs are to be used only for nonsafety functions (typically, to communicate the status of the
Safety Module to a programmable logic controller). See the appropriate figure for wiring information.
Initial Checkout Procedure
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.
1. Remove power from the machine primary control elements.
2. Ensure the safety device is in a STOP or "open-contact" state (for example, actuate the E-stop switch to open its contacts).
3. Apply power to the Safety Module at terminals A1 and A2 or B1 and B2.Verify that only the Input Power indicator is ON. If
either input channel 1 or input channel 2 indicators are ON at this point, disconnect the input power and check all wiring.
Return to step 2 after the cause of the problem has been corrected.
4. Reset or otherwise cause the safety device to reach an ON or "closed-contact" state (for example, arm the E-stop switch to
close its contacts).
5. Manual Reset mode: Ch1 and Ch2 indicators should be flashing. Close and reopen the Reset switch.
6. Verify that the Ch1 and Ch2 indicators both come ON. If only one indicator comes ON or if any indicator is flashing, refer to
the Troubleshooting section for more information. Return to step 2 after correcting the problem.

ES-UA-5A and ES-VA-5A E-Stop Safety Module
7. Cause the safety device to generate a STOP or "open-contact" state (for example, actuate the E-stop switch to open its
contacts). The Ch1 and Ch2 indicators should turn OFF simultaneously. If either indicator remains ON, disconnect the input
power and check all wiring. Return to step 2 after the cause of the problem has been corrected. Refer to the Troubleshooting
section for more information.
8. If more than one safety device is series-connected to the Safety Module, run the above checkout procedure individually for
EACH device.
9. Close and secure the enclosure in which the Safety Module is mounted. Apply power to the machine control elements and
perform the Periodic Checkout Procedure.
WARNING:
• Test multiple safety devices individually
• Failure to test each safety device individually could result in undetected faults and create an unsafe
condition that could result in serious injury or death.
• When two or more safety devices are used, individually actuate each device, causing a stop or opencontact condition, then reset/rearm the safety module (if using manual reset mode). This allows the
monitoring circuits to check each device and its wiring to detect faults.
