Overview
An Emergency Stop Safety Module is used to increase the control re-
liability of an emergency stop circuit. As shown in the hookup draw-
ings, 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-chan-
nel E-stop switch. A 2-channel E-stop switch has two electrically iso-
lated contacts.

Safety Circuit Integrity and ISO 13849-1 (EN954-1) 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 stop or remove a hazard. A failure of a safety-related function or its associated safety circuit may result in an in-
creased 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 performance must be
incorporated. ANSI/RIA R15.06 Industrial Robots, ANSI B11 Machine Tools, OSHA 29CFR1910.217 Mechanical Power Presses, and
ISO 13849-1 (EN954-1) Safety-Related Parts of a Control System standards provide details of the safety performance levels.
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).
ES-UA-5A and ES-VA-5A E-Stop Safety Modules
2 www.bannerengineering.com - tel: 763-544-3164 P/N 122365 Rev. E
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: Safety Categories
The level of safety circuit integrity can be greatly affected by the design and installation of the safety devi-
ces and the means of interfacing of those devices. A risk assessment must be performed to determine
the appropriate safety circuit integrity level or safety category as described by ISO 13849-1 (EN
954-1) to ensure the expected risk reduction is achieved and all relevant regulations and standards
are complied with.
Fault Exclusion
An important concept within the category requirements of 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 assess-
ment 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 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 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: Emergency Stop Functions
Do not mute or bypass any Emergency Stop device. ANSI B11.19, ANSI NFPA79 and IEC/EN
60204-1 require that the Emergency Stop function remain 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, 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.
For Rope/Cable Pull Installations Only:
The wire rope should be easily accessible and visible along its entire length. Markers or flags may be fixed on the rope to increase its
visibility.
ES-UA-5A and ES-VA-5A E-Stop Safety Modules
P/N 122365 Rev. E www.bannerengineering.com - tel: 763-544-3164 3
Mounting points, including support points, must be rigid.
The rope should be free of friction at all supports. Pulleys are recommended.
WARNING: Emergency Stop Functions
Do not mute or bypass any Emergency Stop device. ANSI B11.19, ANSI NFPA79 and IEC/EN
60204-1 require that the Emergency Stop function remain active at all times.
Some applications may have additional requirements; comply with all relevant regulations. See the device manufacturer installation in-
structions for complete information (such as SSA-EB..-.. p/n 111880, or RP-RM83F.. p/n 141245 data sheets).
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.
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.
The design and installation of the interlocked guard and the safety switches should comply with ANSI B11.19, ISO14119, and 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).
Mechanical Installation
The Safety Module must be installed inside an enclosure.
It is not designed for exposed wiring. It is the user’s responsibility to house the Safety Module in an enclosure with NEMA 3 (IEC IP54)
rating, or better. The 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 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 enclo-
sure exterior surface area, and spacing between modules and other sources of heat.
Electrical Installation
WARNING: Shock Hazard and Hazardous Energy
Always disconnect power from the safety system (for example, device, module, interfacing, etc.)
and the machine being controlled before making any connections or replacing any component.
Electrical installation and wiring must be made by Qualified Personnel and must comply with the relevant
electrical standards and wiring codes, such as the NEC (National Electrical Code), ANSI NFPA79, or IEC
60204-1, and all applicable local standards and codes.
Lockout/tagout procedures may be required. Refer to OSHA 29CFR1910.147, ANSI Z244-1, ISO
14118, or the appropriate standard for controlling hazardous energy.
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 12-24V dc supply at 4W or an ac supply (115V ac, model ES-UA-5A, or 230V ac, model ES-
VA-5A) at 7VA. The safety inputs can be connected to:
A +24V dc source that is switched by a hard/relay contact in single-channel hookup configuration, or
Hard/relay contacts in a dual-channel hookup configuration using terminals S11-S12 and S21-S22.

Safety Input Device Hookup Options
The operation of all dual-channel hookup 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 hookup 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 hookup configuration cannot detect short circuits to secondary sources of +24V dc or detect the loss of the switch-
ing 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.
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.
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 (see the warning, Multiple Switching Devices).
WARNING: Multiple Safety Devices
When two or more safety devices are used,
each device must be individually actuated,
causing a STOP or open-contact condition,
then reset/rearmed and the Safety Module
reset (if using manual reset mode). This al-
lows the monitoring circuits to check each de-
vice and its wiring to detect faults. Failure to
test each device individually in this man-
ner could result in undetected faults and
create an unsafe condition which could re-
sult in serious injury or death.

E-Stop E-Stop
Figure 2. Series connection of multiple E-stop
switches
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 positive-open-
ing 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 inter-
locking switches occurs.

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 30V dc at 20 to 50 milliamps. As shown in the hookup drawings, 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: Reset Switch Location
All reset switches must be accessible only from outside, and in full view of, the hazardous area.
Reset switches must also be out of reach from within the safeguarded space, and must be protec-
ted against unauthorized or inadvertent operation (for example, through the use of rings or guards). If
any areas are not visible from the reset switch(es), additional means of safeguarding must be provided.
Failure to do so could result in serious bodily injury or death.
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. See Warning.

WARNING: Reset Routine Required
U.S. and international standards require that a reset routine be performed after clearing the cause of a
stop condition (for example, arming an E-stop button, closing an interlocked guard, etc.). Allowing the
machine to restart without actuating the normal start command/device can create an unsafe condi-
tion which could result in serious injury or death.
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 normal-
ly 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.

Overvoltage Category II and III Installations (EN50178 and IEC60664-1)
The Safety Module is rated for Overvoltage Category III when voltages of 1V to 150V ac/dc are applied to the output relay contacts. It is
rated for Overvoltage Category II when voltages of 151V to 250V ac/dc are applied to the output relay contacts and no additional precau-

tions are taken to attenuate possible overvoltage situations in the supply voltage. The Module can be used in an Overvoltage Category III
environment (with voltages of 151V to 250V ac/dc) if care is taken either to reduce the level of electrical disturbances seen by the Module
to Overvoltage Category II levels by installing surge suppressor devices (for example, arc suppressors), or to install extra external insula-
tion in order to isolate both the Safety Module and the user from the higher voltage levels of a Category III environment.
For Overvoltage Category III installations with applied voltages from 151V to 250V ac/dc applied to the output contact(s): the
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 Safety Module outputs by installing appropriately-sized arc suppres-
sors. However, if arc suppressors are used, they must be installed across the load being switched (for example, across the coils of exter-
nal safety relays), and never across the Safety Module’s output contacts (see WARNING, Arc Suppressors).
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 solid-state
monitor outputs (at terminals Y32 and Y35) each are capable of switching up to 100 mA at 12- 24V 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.
WARNING: Wiring of Arc Suppressors
If arc suppressors are used, they MUST be installed as shown across the actuator coil of the stop
control elements (MSCs or MPCEs). NEVER install suppressors directly across the output contacts
of the Safety Device or Module. It is possible for suppressors to fail as a short circuit. If installed directly
across the output contacts, a short-circuited suppressor will create an unsafe condition which could
result in serious injury or death.
WARNING: Interfacing MSCs
NEVER wire an intermediate device(s) (for example, PLC, PES, PC) between the Safety Module outputs
and the Master Stop Control Element it switches in such a manner that in the event of a failure there is a
loss of the safety stop command, OR in such a manner that the safety function can be suspended, overrid-
den, 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 nor-
mally closed (N.C.) forced-guided monitor contact from each relay must be added to the series feedback
loop between Safety Module terminals S31 and S32.
Initial Checkout Procedure
CAUTION: Disconnect Power Prior to Checkout
Before performing the initial checkout procedure, make certain all power is disconnected from the
machine to be controlled.
Dangerous voltages may be present along the Safety Module wiring barriers whenever power to the ma-
chine control elements is ON. Exercise extreme caution whenever machine control power is or may
be present. Always disconnect power to the machine control elements before opening the enclo-
sure housing of the Safety Module.
1. Remove power from the machine primary control elements.

2. Ensure the safety device is in a STOP or "open-contact" state (e.g., 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 (e.g., arm the E-stop switch to close its con-
tacts).
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.
7. Cause the safety device to generate a STOP or "open-contact" state (e.g., 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: Multiple Safety Devices
When two or more safety devices are used, each device must be individually actuated, causing a
STOP or open-contact condition, then reset/rearmed and the Safety Module reset (if using manual
reset mode). This allows the monitoring circuits to check each device and its wiring to detect faults. Fail-
ure to test each device individually in this manner could result in undetected faults and create an
unsafe condition which could result in serious injury or death.
Repairs
Do not attempt any repairs to the Module. It contains no field-replaceable components. Return it to the factory for warranty repair
or replacement by contacting Banner Factory Application Engineering. They will attempt to troubleshoot the system from your description
of the problem. If they conclude a component is defective, they will issue a return merchandise authorization (RMA) number for your
paperwork and give you the proper shipping address.
Pack the Module carefully. Damage that occurs in return shipping is not covered by warranty.
CAUTION: Abuse of Module After Failure
If an internal fault has occurred and the Module will not reset, do not tap, strike, or otherwise attempt to
correct the fault by a physical impact to the housing. An internal relay may have failed in such a man-
ner that its replacement is required.
If the Module is not immediately replaced or repaired, multiple simultaneous failures may accumu-
late such that the safety function can not be guaranteed.
