Product Description

1. ​Product Overview

The Schmersal BNS-B20-12Z-ST-L is a ​non-contact magnetic safety switch​ engineered for industrial access control in harsh environments. Featuring a ​stainless steel housing (IP69K rated)​, this device utilizes a ​coded magnetic actuator​ to monitor guard positions without physical contact. Certified to ​ISO 13849-1 PL d (Category 3)​​ and ​IEC 62061 SIL 2, it delivers reliable performance in temperatures from ​​-30°C to +85°C. The "12Z" designation indicates a ​12mm switching distance​ with ​​±3mm lateral tolerance, accommodating installation misalignments. Integrated dual-color LEDs provide visual status for guard position (green) and diagnostics (yellow), while the corrosion-resistant AISI 316L construction withstands high-pressure washdowns (100 bar), chemicals, and UV exposure.

2. ​Key Technical Parameters

  • Safety Ratings:
    • PL d (ISO 13849-1 Cat. 3)
    • SIL 2 (IEC 62061)
  • Electrical:
    • Voltage: 24V DC ±10%
    • Contacts: 2 NC (6A @ 250V AC)
    • Power Consumption: ≤2W
  • Mechanical:
    • Switching Distance: 12mm ±1mm
    • Lateral Tolerance: ±3mm
  • Environmental:
    • IP69K (IEC 60529)
    • Chemical Resistance: pH 1-14
  • Materials:
    • Housing: AISI 316L stainless steel
    • Actuator: Ferrite-encapsulated magnet
  • Certifications:
    • UL 508, CSA 22.2 No. 14
    • ATEX Zone 22

3. ​Primary Applications

This switch excels in demanding industrial environments:

  • Food Processing: CIP washdown areas requiring EHEDG compliance
  • Chemical Plants: Reactor access hatches with acid vapor exposure
  • Pharmaceutical: Sterile filling line isolators
  • Marine Engineering: Saltwater-resistant safety gates
  • Automotive: Robotic welding cell access control
  • Wastewater Treatment: Corrosion-resistant cover monitoring
  • Packaging Machinery: High-humidity bottling lines
  • Mining Equipment: Dust-immersion protection
    Its IP69K rating and stainless steel construction ensure reliability in daily high-pressure sanitation cycles with caustic cleaners.

4. ​Functional Advantages

  • Corrosion Resistance: Electropolished SS316L resists chloride-induced stress corrosion
  • Tamper Prevention: Coded actuator pairing defeats standard magnets
  • Diagnostic Intelligence:
    • Green LED: Guard closed/secure
    • Yellow LED: Actuator misalignment >1mm
  • Installation Flexibility: ±3mm lateral tolerance simplifies alignment
  • Maintenance Reduction: Non-contact operation (>10M cycles)
  • Safety Compliance: Pre-validated for EN ISO 14119 Type 3
  • Global Approvals: ATEX/IECEx Zone 22 certification

5. ​Safety Operation Principle

The switch operates via ​magnetic field interaction:

  1. Guard Closure:
    • Actuator aligns within 12mm → reed contacts close
    • Green LED illuminates
  2. Continuous Monitoring:
    • Hall sensors detect position (±0.5mm)
    • Current monitoring identifies contact welding
  3. Fault Response:
    • 2mm displacement opens contacts within 20ms

    • Yellow LED activates at >1mm misalignment
  4. Reset Protocol:
    • Physical guard reclosure required
    • System self-test verifies contact separation
