The XS26-2 expandable safety controller utilises
user interface configuration software that is simple, uncluttered and easy to navigate for
configuring and documenting safety
functions and assessing the status of
connected input or output devices. The
system configuration tool uses a function
block diagram format that consists of pre-engineered and pre-tested safety function blocks, as well as a set of Boolean
functions. As the function block configuration is created, a corresponding logic ladder
reference diagram and a text-based summary are created.

The safety controller can add up to eight expansion I/O modules.
The XS26-2 platform was designed to adapt to
diverse automation requirements and address a
wide range of safeguarding applications. Base
controller models have 26 input terminals, four
terminals for two redundant safety PNP outputs and a USB connection for loading configurations.
Base models are available with an optional on-
board display. Another option is the inclusion of an
embedded Ethernet IP/Modbus TCP capability for
access to live I/O status and system diagnostics to
assist in troubleshooting and commissioning.

To meet the requirements of many diverse applications, the XS26-2 platform offers 6 I/O expansion modules with a variety of safety inputs, solid state safety outputs and safety relay outputs.
