## **Designing a Sample Configuration** 

The configuration process used in this guide provides basic understanding of the software features that are necessary to create a configuration for any application. The example configuration is based on a sample application which makes use of the following devices:  an XS/SC26-2 Safety Controller, an E-stop button, a Safety Light Curtain, an Interlocked Gate Switch, and a Manual Reset. The illustration below depicts these devices and additional safety equipment for a sample Robotic Cell application.

~~LT~~ You have completed the sample configuration. 

- It is the responsibility of the Qualified Person who configures, installs, or maintains the XS26 Safety Controller to: 

- Carefully read, understand, and comply with all instructions for this device. See the manual which can be accessed via the Help menu in the Banner Safety Controller software. 

- Perform a risk assessment that includes the specific machine guarding application. Guidance on a compliant methodology can be found in ISO 12100 or ANSI B11.0. 

- Determine what safeguarding devices and methods are appropriate per the results of the risk assessment and implement per all applicable local, state, and national codes and regulations. See ISO 13849-1, ANSI B11.19, and/or other appropriate standards. 

- Verify that the entire safeguarding system (including input devices, control systems, and output devices) is properly configured and installed, operational, and working as intended for the application. 

- Periodically re-verify, as needed, that the entire safeguarding system is working as intended for the application. 

Failure to follow any of these responsibilities may potentially create a dangerous condition that could result in serious injury or death.
