Interface Modules for Use with the SC22-3 Safety Controller
WARNING . . . This Interface Module is not a point-of-operation guarding device, as defined by OSHA
regulations. It is necessary to install point-of-operation guarding devices, such as safety light screens and/or hard guards, to
protect personnel from hazardous machinery. Failure to install point-of-operation guards on hazardous machinery could lead
to serious injury or death.
Features
Provides isolated safety output contacts for the SC22-3 Safety Controller, which has
solid-state outputs and external device monitoring (EDM) capability.
Designed specifically for use with one, two or three Safety Controller safety outputs
(see Models table).
Features three normally open redundant-output channels and one normally closed
monitoring output channel for each safety output.
Has contacts rated at 10 amps.
Operates on 24V dc, supplied by the Safety Controller.
Mounts to standard DIN rail.

Overview
Interface Modules SC-IM9.. operate on 24V dc inputs and provide isolated redundant output
channels for interfacing the Safety Controller's solid-state 24V dc outputs to ac safety circuits.
The normally open safety contacts of the Interface Module will follow the action of the safety
outputs from the Safety Controller within 3 milliseconds when going from closed to open (for
other response times, see Specifications). All Interface Module contacts are rated for up to
690V ac/dc at up to 10 amps.
The SC-IM9.. Interface Modules offer a series connection of normally closed contacts (labeled
21-22 on each contactor) for monitoring by the external device monitoring (EDM) function of
the Safety Controller. These forced-guided (mechanically-linked) contacts allow the Safety
Controller to detect failures of the SC-IM9.. Interface Module, and at a minimum, must be
monitored in applications requiring Control Reliability per OSHA/ANSI or Category 3 or 4 per
ISO13849-1.
