OMRON BS3-C BeamSafe III Safety Controller

The OMRON BS3-C is a versatile and compact single-beam safety controller designed for medium-range access guarding applications. It is part of the BeamSafe III system, which includes the BS3-C controller, BS3-XC transmitter, and BS3-RC receiver. This setup provides a reliable and self-monitoring Type 4 safety solution.

Key Features:

• Compact Design: Perfect for space-conscious installations, the BS3-C controller is DIN-rail mountable, making it ideal for various industrial environments.
• Redundant Safety Relay Outputs: Ensures high reliability with two potentially-free N.O. outputs, each protected by a 4 A fuse, ensuring consistent safety performance.
• Dual Non-Safety Outputs: Offers flexibility with two solid-state auxiliary outputs that can mirror safety outputs or report on independent transmitter-receiver pairs.
• Diagnostic and Status Indicators: Features LED indicators for easy monitoring of system status and error codes.
• Compatibility and Standards: Compliant with IEC 61496 and EN 954-1 standards, ensuring safety and compatibility across different machinery setups.
• Supply Voltage: Operates at 24 V DC, providing stable power for consistent performance.
• Operating Temperature: Functions effectively in temperatures ranging from 0 to 55°C (32 to 131°F), suitable for a variety of environments.

Applications:

The BS3-C is suitable for guarding access points in various industrial settings, including robotic systems, cutting machines, conveyor systems, and more. It is designed to work with machinery that stops consistently and immediately, ensuring safety in critical areas.

Safety Considerations:

• The BeamSafe III system should not be used on machinery that does not stop immediately upon activation.
• It is not intended for use as a point-of-operation device and should be supplemented with additional guarding methods where necessary.
