## Overview 

The EZ-SCREEN LS AC Interface Module (EZAC Series) is powered by 100 to 230 V AC (50 to 60 Hz). EZAC-R..A models can supply +24 V DC to one EZ-SCREEN LS receiver, a single emitter-receiver pair, or up to three cascaded emitter-receiver pairs. The integrated interface module, located on a replaceable PC-board, converts the EZ-SCREEN LS receiver OSSD output signals into isolated redundant output channels with an 8 amp / 250V AC/DC switching capacity for AC or DC safety circuits (see the models table for output descriptions). The outputs can also be used to switch low power capacity safety controls with low current input/output ratings. 

The interface module outputs follow the action of the EZ-SCREEN LS OSSD outputs, with a 10 millisecond response time in turning OFF and approximately 10 millisecond delay in turning ON. Any latching function (such as manual reset, start/restart enable, etc.) is provided by the controlling safeguarding device or the machine control. All models feature external device monitoring (EDM) in the form of 1-Ch EDM that can monitor external devices or can be jumpered (no monitoring).

EZ-SCREEN[®] LS AC Interface Module 

All models have one 8-pin M12/Euro-style quick disconnect to connect to the EZ-SCREEN LS receiver with the model suffix "P8" (or P88 for receiver and emitter pairs). **The EZAC AC Interface Box must be monitored by the 1-CH EDM input of the EZ-SCREEN LS** . External devices can be monitored in applications requiring Control Reliability per OSHA/ANSI or Category 3 or 4 per ISO13849-1 via the 1-CH EDM wiring. 

## Safety Circuit Integrity and 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 ISO 13849-1 Safety-Related Parts of a Control System. 

## Safety Circuit Integrity Levels 

Safety circuits in International and European standards have been segmented into Categories and Performance Levels, depending on their ability to maintain their integrity in the event of a failure and the statistical likelihood of that failure. ISO 13849-1 details safety circuit integrity by describing circuit architecture/structure (Categories) and the required performance level (PL) of safety functions under foreseeable conditions. 

In the United States, the typical level of safety circuit integrity has been called "Control Reliability". Control Reliability typically incorporates redundant control and self-checking circuitry and has been loosely equated to ISO 13849-1 Category 3 or 4 and/or Performance Level “d” or “e” (see ANSI B11.19). 

Perform a risk assessment to ensure appropriate application, interfacing/hookup, and risk reduction (see ANSI B11.0 or ISO 12100). The risk assessment must be performed to determine the appropriate safety circuit integrity in order to ensure that the expected risk reduction is achieved. This risk assessment must take into account all local regulations and relevant standards, such as U.S. Control Reliability or European "C" level standards. 

## Fault Exclusion 

An important concept within the requirements of ISO 13849-1 is the probability of the occurrence of a failure, which can be reduced using a technique termed "fault exclusion." The rationale assumes that the possibility of certain well-defined failure(s) can be reduced via design, installation, or technical improbability to a point where the resulting fault(s) can be, for the most part, disregarded —that is, "excluded" in the evaluation. 

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. Fault exclusion allows the designer to design out the possibility of various failures and justify it through the risk assessment process to meet the requirements of ISO 13849-1/-2. 

Requirements vary widely for the level of safety circuit integrity in safety applications (that is, Control Reliability or Category/ Performance Level) per ISO 13849-1. Although Banner always recommends the highest level of safety in any application, the user is responsible to safely install, operate, and maintain each safety system and comply with all relevant laws and regulations. 

## **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. 

## Controlling Safeguarding Device Requirements 

The EZAC Interface Module is driven by two OSSD safety output channels of a controlling safeguarding device. **This device is typically the EZ-SCREEN LS safety light screen with a "P8" or "P88" model number suffix; contact Banner Engineering for assistance if any other device is to be interfaced.** The user must refer to the EZ-SCREEN LS instruction manual for complete installation and operation instructions. 

At a minimum, the controlling safeguarding device must have External Device Monitoring capability to monitor the internal relays of the EZAC Interfacing Module. 

## **CAUTION:** 

- **Incomplete installation information** 

- Many installation considerations necessary to properly apply these devices are not covered by this document. 

- Refer to the appropriate device installation instructions to ensure the safe application of the device.

EZ-SCREEN[®] LS AC Interface Module 

## **WARNING: Not for use as a stand-alone safety module.** 

1. **DO NOT connect E-stop switches, 2-hand control switches, safety interlock switches, or similar devices directly to this module.** 

2. Always connect pin 2 of the receiver/emitter M12 QD connection to the external device monitoring input of the controlling safeguarding device. 

The EZAC 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 E-stop buttons) can go undetected and create an unsafe condition. **Failure to properly connect the EZAC box to a safeguarding device with a monitoring function could result in serious injury or death.** 

## Installation Instructions 

## Mechanical Installation 

Mount the module in a convenient location that is free from heavy impulse force and high-amplitude vibration. The module and any auxiliary Reset switches must be located outside the guarded area, where the switch operator has a full unobstructed view of the entire guarded area and any associated hazards as the reset is performed. The module and any auxiliary reset switch(es) must not be reachable from within the guarded area and must be protected (through the use of rings or guards, for example) against unauthorized or inadvertent operation. Refer _Dimensions_ for dimensions and mounting hole locations. 

The module is designed for mounting directly to the emitter or receiver housing, if desired. The module meets IEC IP65 standards; an additional enclosure or cabinet is not required. 

## 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. 

Electrical installation must be made by qualified personnel and must comply with NEC (National Electrical Code), NFPA 79 or IEC/EN 60204-1, and all applicable local standards. It is not possible to give exact wiring instructions for a device that interfaces to a multitude of machine control configurations. The following guidelines are general in nature. Perform a risk assessment to ensure appropriate application, interfacing/hookup, and risk reduction (see ANSI B11.0 or ISO 12100). 

If you have any questions about your intended use, please contact a Banner applications engineer. 

The module has no delay function. Its output relay contacts open within **10 milliseconds** after a safety input opens. This classifies the module as a functional stop "Category 0" control, as defined by NFPA 79 and IEC/EN 60204-1. 

Both EZAC-R..A.. models have one 8-pin M12/Euro-style quick disconnect to connect to the EZ-SCREEN LS receiver and emitter (models with a "P8" or "P88" model number suffix). Power and Output connections are made through two holes with 1/2-inch NPT threads to accommodate conduit fitting or cable gland and hard-wire cables (two cable glands and one hole plug included). 

## Connection to the Machine to be Controlled 

The machine wiring diagram shows a generic connection of the Interface Module's redundant output circuits to the machine primary control elements (MPCEs). 

An MPCE is defined as an electrically powered device, external to the Interface Module, that 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 MPCE. 

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 Safety Module's output contacts (see the following warning about arc suppressors).

EZ-SCREEN[®] LS AC Interface 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. 

## External Device Monitoring 

To satisfy the requirements of Control Reliability (OSHA and ANSI) Category 3 and 4 or ISO 13849-1, 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 (MPCE) in series to X1 and X2 (refer to the wiring diagrams). 

In operation, if one of the switching contacts of either MPCE fails in the energized condition, the associated monitor contact remains open. Therefore, the EZ-SCREEN LS will lock out with an error code #8 or #13. If no MPCE-monitor contacts are monitored, a jumper must be installed as shown the wiring diagrams. 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. 

## Auxiliary Monitor Contact Connection (EZAC-R11A-QE8) 

The action of the normally closed auxiliary monitor contact inversely "follows" the action of the normally open safety outputs. This output is to be used only for non-safety functions (typically, to communicate the status of the Safety Module to a programmable logic controller). See the appropriate figure for wiring information. 

## Overvoltage Category II and III Installations (EN 50178 and IEC 60664-1) 

The AC Interface Modules 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 AC Interface Modules 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 AC Interface Modules 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 AC Interface Modules 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 AC Interface Modules 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 AC Interface Modules 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 AC Interface Modules’s output contacts.

## Scan Code Select 

The key switch on the face of the EZAC Interface Module provides a means to easily select scan code SC1 or SC2. At power-up, when the key is in the OPEN/SC1 position, scan code SC1 is selected. When the key is in the CLOSED/SC2 position, scan code SC2 is selected. 

If both the EZ-SCREEN LS receiver and emitter are connected using a CSB splitter cordset, both sensors are configured for the same scan code. After the EZ-SCREEN LS power-up sequence is complete, changing the key position will not change the scan code. To change the scan code, disconnect the power, change the key position, then reapply the power. The key maybe removed and secured to prevent unauthorized tampering. 

If the EZ-SCREEN LS emitter is not connected, then the wiring of the emitter must match the scan code selected by the key switch. 

**Note:** If both the emitter and its corresponding receiver do not have the same scan code setting, the EZSCREEN LS receiver Diagnostic display indicates that Beam 1 is blocked by displaying "C" "H" "1". The emitter and receiver Diagnostic display also indicates the sensor scan code as "C" "1" or "C" "2" (flashes three times) during the power-up sequence. 

## Checkout Procedures 

Banner Engineering highly recommends performing the System checkouts as described. However, a qualified person (or team) should evaluate these generic recommendations considering their specific application and determine the appropriate frequency of checkouts. This will generally be determined by a risk assessment, such as the one contained in ANSI B11.0. The result of the risk assessment will drive the frequency and content of the periodic checkout procedures and must be followed. 

## **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.

EZ-SCREEN[®] LS AC Interface Module 

At installation or replacement and at machine set up, a Designated Person 2 must test each input device connected to the safety module for proper machine shutdown response. A Designated Person must check for proper operation, physical damage, mounting (looseness), and excessive environmental contamination. This must also take place on a periodic schedule determined by the user, based on the severity of the operating environment and the frequency of switching. Adjust, clean, repair, or replace components as needed when any parts or assemblies are damaged, broken, deformed, or badly worn; or if the electrical/mechanical specifications (for the environment and operating conditions) have been exceeded. **Always test the control system for proper functioning** under machine control conditions after performing maintenance, replacing the safety module, or replacing any component(s) of the safety circuit. 

## Initial Checkout 

1. Ensure power is removed from the modules outputs, the machine control elements, and any other circuits that could pose a hazard during the checkout. 

2. Ensure the controlling safeguarding device has power removed or is in a STOP state. 

3. Confirm proper connection to the controlling safeguarding device and MPCEs/MSCs according to the wiring diagram described by the wiring configurations. 

4. **Apply power only to the module (not the modules outputs)** . In a typical wiring configuration, power will also be applied to the controlling safeguarding device. 

5. Verify the module's power and/or status indicator LED(s) is ON (either Green or Red). 6. **Verify the controlling safeguarding device is operating correctly** , according to its instruction manual and all manufacturer's recommendations. 

7. Verify all module output contacts follow exactly the operation of the safety outputs of the controlling safeguarding device. The module's green indicator(s) should come on and the safety output contacts should close, without action by an individual, as soon as the controlling safeguarding device outputs are ON (conducting). 

8. If all these checks cannot be verified, **do not attempt to use** the safety system and the guarded machine until the defect or problem has been corrected. 

9. Apply power to the modules outputs and the machine control elements. 

10. Perform the Periodic Checkout Procedure. 

## Periodic Checkout 

The functioning of the module and the controlling safeguarding device(s) connected to it must be verified on a regular periodic basis to ensure proper operation by a Designated Person (see also the machine manufacturer's recommendations). 

1. With the machine running, cause the controlling safeguarding device to generate a STOP or "open-contact" state (for example, interrupt the defined area of a light curtain, or actuate an E-stop switch to open its contacts). Do not expose any individual to any hazard and during the following checks. 

2. Verify the machine stops as expected. 

3. Reset or otherwise cause the controlling safeguarding device to reach an ON or "closed-contact" state. If using manual reset, perform the required reset action. 

4. Verify the machine does not restart. 

5. Verify the machine can be restarted only by the normal means of initiation. 

6. If more than one device is series-connected to the Safety Module, run the above checkout procedure individually for EACH device. 

## **WARNING:** 

- **Do not use the system until the checkouts are verified** 

- Attempts to use the guarded/controlled machine before these checks are verified could result in serious injury or death. 

- If all these checks cannot be verified, do not attempt to use the safety system that includes the Banner device and the guarded/controlled machine until the defect or problem has been corrected.
