Interface Module Description
Interface Modules IM-T-9A and IM-T-11A operate on 24V dc inputs and provideisolated redundant output channels for interfacing dc safety controls (such as safetylight screens or other safety control modules) to ac safety circuits. These modules canalso be used to increase the switching current capacity of safety controls with lowcurrent output rating (see Figures 6, 8, and 9).
The outputs of the Interface Module will follow the action of the safety outputs from thePrimary Safety Device which control it, within a 20 millisecond switching delay time.The Interface Module’s normally open outputs each are rated for up to 250V ac/dc at upto 6 amps.
The Interface Modules offer two normally closed output contacts, Y1-Y2 and Y3-Y4,which provide K1 and K2 status information for connection to the External DeviceMonitoring (EDM) input of the Primary Safety Device (see Figures 5 through 9). Thismonitoring circuit allows the Primary Safety Device to detect failures of the InterfaceModule.
Two green indicator LEDs on the front of each Interface Module indicate the outputstatus of internal relays K1 and K2.
WARNING . . . This Interface Module is not a point-of-operation guarding device, as defined by OSHAregulations. It is necessary to install point-of-operation guarding devices, such as safety light screens and/orhard guards, to protect personnel from hazardous machinery. Failure to install point-of-operation guards onhazardous machinery could lead to serious injury or death.

WARNING . . . Not forUse As a Stand-AloneSafety Module
1) DO NOT connect E-stop switches,2-hand-control switches, safetyinterlock switches, or similardevices directly to this InterfaceModule.
2) ALWAYS connect terminalsY1-Y2 and Y3-Y4 of this InterfaceModule to the monitoring input ofthe Primary Safety Device thatcontrols it (see Figures 4 through 9).
This Module does not have the circuitryrequired to perform a self-check. Asingle fault inside the unit or in externaldevices (like switches or E-stop buttons)can go undetected and create an unsafecondition. Failure to properly connectthis Interface Module to a control-reliable Primary Safety Device couldresult in serious injury or death.
!
Primary Safety Device Requirements
Interface Modules IM-T-9A and IM-T-11A are driven by two safety output channels of aPrimary Safety Device. The design of the Primary Safety Device must meet OSHA andANSI control reliability requirements. These Interface Modules must be used only withPrimary Safety Devices which have External Device monitoring capability (see Figures 5through 9 and the Warning on page 10).
Each output channel of the Primary Safety Device must:
• Include one normally open forced-guided (positive guided) contact (FSD), or
• Include one solid-state 24V dc sourcing safety output (OSSD), and
• Be self-monitored to result in a safe (OFF) condition in the event of a failure, and
• Be capable of switching 50 mA @ 24V dc ± 15%.
NOTE: As OSSD solid-state outputs on Primary Safety Devices very often are pulsed, itis possible that the relay coils will produce an audible buzzing. This relay buzzingdoes not affect the function of the Interface Module, as long as the pulse widthis below 500 µs (microseconds) and the duty cycle (t1) is greater than 500.

Mechanical Installation
The Interface Modules must be installed inside an enclosure. They are not designed forexposed wiring. It is the user’s responsibility to house the Interface Modules in anenclosure with NEMA 3 (IEC IP54) rating or better.
Dimensions of either Interface Module are shown in Figure 2; they mount directly tostandard 35 mm DIN rail.For reliable operation, the user must ensure that the operating specifications are notexceeded. The enclosure must provide adequate heat dissipation, so that the air closelysurrounding the Module does not exceed its maximum operating temperature. Methodsto reduce heat build-up include venting, forced airflow (e.g., exhaust fans), adequateenclosure exterior surface area, and spacing between modules and other sources ofheat. (See Specifications, Operating Conditions: Temperature.)

Electrical Installation
As the Interface Modules can be used with many different Primary Safety Devices and caninterface to a multitude of machine control configurations, it is not possible to give exactwiring instructions for the output contacts. The following guidelines are general in nature.
The output contacts of the Interface Module have no delay function. They will open within20 milliseconds from the time that the controlling contacts coming from the PrimarySafety Device open.
WARNING . . .Use of Arc Suppressors
If arc suppressors areused, they MUST be installed acrossthe actuator coil of the machine primarycontrol elements (MPCE1, MPCE2).NEVER install suppressors directlyacross the output contacts of theInterface Module. It is possible forsuppressors to fail as a short circuit. Ifinstalled directly across the outputcontacts of the Interface Module, ashort-circuited suppressor will create anunsafe condition which could result inserious injury or death.
!
CAUTION . . .Dangerous Voltages
Always disconnect all power from theInterface Module, the Primary SafetyDevice, and the machine beingcontrolled before making any wireconnections. Electrical installation andwiring must be made by qualifiedpersonnel and must comply with theNEC (National Electrical Code), EN60204-1 and -2, and all applicable localstandards and codes.

Connection to the Machine To Be Controlled
The hookup diagrams in Figures 5 through 9 show a generic connection of two safetyoutput channels of the Interface Module to Machine Primary Control Elements MPCE1and MPCE2. A Machine Primary Control Element is an electrically powered device,external to the Interface Module, which stops the machinery being controlled byimmediately removing electrical power from the machine and (when necessary) byapplying braking to dangerous motion (reference ANSI B11.19, section 5.2: “StopControl”).
NOTE: Although this hookupshows model IM-T-9A,the hookup for modelIM-T-11A is identical.

NOTICE regarding MPCEsTo achieve control reliability, twoMachine Primary Control Elements(MPCEs) are required to controleach machine hazard. Each MPCEmust be capable of immediatelystopping the dangerous machinemotion, irrespective of the state ofthe other. Some machines offer onlyone primary control element. Forsuch machines, it is necessary toduplicate the circuit of the singleMPCE to add a second MPCE.
MPCEs must offer at least oneforced-guided auxiliary contactwhich is wired to the monitoringcontact feedback input of thePrimary Safety Device (see hookupdiagrams).

CAUTION . . .When FSD1 switches+24V dc and FSD2 switches0V dc (Figures 6 and 8), a
short circuit between the wires leading toS1, S2, S3, and S4 is detectedimmediately and K1 and K2 de-energize.However, a short circuit can result in ahigh current through the FSD1 and FSD2contacts, so the current coming from the24V dc supply connected to FSD1 andFSD2 must be fused or limited to 6 ampsmax. Otherwise, damage to the PrimarySafety Device may result.

To satisfy the requirements of control reliability, all MPCEs must offer at least onenormally closed forced-guided monitor contact. One normally closed monitor contactfrom each MPCE is connected to the monitoring contact feedback input of thePrimary Safety Device, as shown in Figures 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. In operation, if the MPCEfails in the energized condition, the associated monitor contact will remain open. As aresult, the Primary Safety Device will detect the MPCE failure and prevent successivemachine cycles.
Many types of mechanisms are used to arrest dangerous machine motion. Examplesinclude mechanical braking systems, clutch mechanisms, and combinations of brakesand clutches. Additionally, control of the arresting scheme may be hydraulic orpneumatic. As a result, an MPCE may be one of several control types, including awide variety of contactors and electromechanical valves. If your machinedocumentation leaves any doubt about the proper connection points for the InterfaceModule output contacts, do not make any connections. Contact the machine builderfor clarification regarding connection to the MPCEs.
Two-Channel Control (Figures 5, 6, 7 and 8): Two-channel control allows the PrimarySafety Device to detect an unsafe failure of the control wires. Two-channel controlshould be used whenever unsafe failure of the control wires cannot be eliminated.
The outputs of the Primary Safety Device must, at minimum, comply with therequirements described on page 5. These outputs must be monitored for failure by thePrimary Safety Device. In addition, a single output failure cannot prevent normalstopping action, and a successive cycle cannot be initiated until the failure has beencorrected.
One-Channel Control (Figure 9): If the Primary Safety Device offers only oneredundant safety output, a one-channel control may be possible. However, one-channelwiring requires eliminating the possibility of an unsafe failure of the control wires(which connect the output of the Primary Safety Device to the input of the InterfaceModule). One way to reduce the probability of such failure is to locate the PrimarySafety Device adjacent to the Interface Module, in the same enclosure.
The redundant safety output of the Primary Safety Device must consist of two ormore series-connected, normally open contacts, coming from forced-guided safetyrelays. These contacts must be monitored for failure by the Primary Safety Device. Inaddition, a single contact failure cannot prevent normal stopping action, and asuccessive cycle cannot be initiated until the failure has been corrected. An exampleof this type of output is any safety output channel of a Banner E-stop safety module.
NOTICE regarding MPCEsTo achieve control reliability, twoMachine Primary Control Elements(MPCEs) are required to controleach machine hazard. Each MPCEmust be capable of immediatelystopping the dangerous machinemotion, irrespective of the state ofthe other. Some machines offer onlyone primary control element. Forsuch machines, it is necessary toduplicate the circuit of the singleMPCE to add a second MPCE.
MPCEs must offer at least oneforced-guided auxiliary contactwhich is wired to the monitoringcontact feedback input of thePrimary Safety Device (see hookupdiagrams).
WARNING . . . MPCE MonitoringAll Machine Control Primary Elements (MPCEs), such as control relays, must be of forced-guided, captive contactdesign to allow the MPCE Monitoring circuit to detect unsafe failures within the master stop control elements. Thismonitoring extends the safe switching point of the Primary Safety Device and the IM-T-9A/IM-T-11A Interface Module to
the MPCE elements. For this monitoring to be effective, a minimum of two redundant MPCEs are required to control each hazard. Thisis to detect the unsafe failure of one MPCE (e.g., a welded contact), while stopping the hazard and preventing a successive machinecycle with the second MPCE.
If the MPCEs are the last electrically controlled device generating the hazard (i.e., not relays or contactors) and they do not haveforced-guided, captive contacts to monitor (such as a solenoid), then the user must ensure that failure or fault of any singlecomponent of the MPCEs will prevent a successive machine cycle and will not result in a hazardous situation.
NOTE: MPCE monitoring is also called External Device Monitoring (EDM), MPCE feedback, and relay backchecking.
