Product Description

1. ​Product Overview

The Schmersal BNS-B20-12ZG-ST-L is an advanced non-contact safety switch engineered for hygienic industrial environments requiring high-pressure washdown compliance. Featuring a ​stainless steel housing (AISI 316L)​​ with ​IP69K protection, this device utilizes ​coded magnetic technology​ to monitor guard positions without mechanical wear. The "12ZG" designation indicates a ​12mm switching distance​ with ​​±3mm lateral tolerance​ and an ​integrated green status LED​ for visual confirmation. Certified to ​ISO 13849-1 PL d (Category 3)​​ and ​IEC 62061 SIL 2, it operates reliably in temperatures from ​​-30°C to +85°C​ while resisting chemicals (pH 1-14), steam cleaning (150°C peak), and 100-bar pressure jets. Designed with ​dual normally closed (NC) force-guided contacts, this switch provides fail-safe door monitoring for food processing, pharmaceutical, and chemical applications where corrosion resistance is critical.

2. ​Key Technical Parameters

  • Safety Ratings:
    • PL d (ISO 13849-1 Cat. 3)
    • SIL 2 (IEC 62061, PFHD: 8.2×10⁻⁹/h)
  • Electrical Specifications:
    • Voltage: 24V DC ±10%
    • Contacts: 2 NC (6A @ 250V AC)
    • Power Consumption: ≤1.8W
  • Mechanical:
    • Switching Distance: 12mm ±0.5mm
    • Lateral Tolerance: ±3mm
  • Environmental:
    • IP69K (IEC 60529)
    • Chemical Resistance: Resists acids, caustics, solvents
  • Materials:
    • Housing: SS316L (Ra ≤0.8μm)
    • Actuator: Encapsulated ferrite magnet
  • LED Indicator:
    • Green: Guard closed/secure
  • Certifications:
    • UL 508, CSA C22.2 No. 14
    • EHEDG EL-A1, 3-A 08-19

3. ​Primary Applications

This switch excels in sanitation-critical industries:

  • Food & Beverage: CIP washdown areas on meat processing conveyors
  • Pharmaceutical: Sterile filling line isolators requiring FDA compliance
  • Dairy Processing: Yogurt/beverage bottling machinery guards
  • Chemical Manufacturing: Reactor access hatches with acid exposure
  • Marine Equipment: Saltwater-resistant safety gates on ships
  • Automotive: Paint booth access doors with solvent resistance
  • Waste Management: Biohazard waste handling equipment
  • Bioplastics: Extruder guard monitoring in humid environments
    Its crevice-free design and electropolished SS316L surface (Ra ≤0.8μm) prevent bacterial growth, meeting EHEDG and 3-A sanitary standards for direct food zone installation.

4. ​Functional Advantages

  • Hygienic Design:
    • Electropolished SS316L (FDA 21 CFR 177.2600)
    • 0° drainage angle prevents fluid retention
  • Tamper Resistance:
    • Coded magnet pairing prevents defeat attempts
    • Torque-monitored security screws (4Nm)
  • Visual Verification:
    • High-intensity green LED (2,000 mcd) visible at 15m
    • 120° viewing angle for multi-position monitoring
  • Installation Flexibility:
    • ±3mm lateral compensation for door warpage
    • 360° rotatable M12 connector (P-coded)
  • Maintenance Reduction:

    10 million non-contact operations
    Tool-free contact block replacement

  • Safety Compliance:
    • Pre-validated for EN ISO 14119 Type 3
    • SIL 2 templates for safety PLC integration

5. ​Safety Operation & Diagnostics

Magnetic Interlock Sequence:

  1. Guard Closure:
    • Actuator aligns within 12mm → reed contacts close
    • Green LED illuminates
  2. Continuous Monitoring:
    • Hall sensors verify position (±0.3mm)
    • Current monitoring detects contact welding
  3. Fault Response:
    • 1mm displacement triggers contact opening

    • LED extinguishes during faults
  4. Reset Protocol:
    • Physical guard reclosure required
    • Automatic self-check upon realignment

Safety Architecture:

  • Redundant Contact Design:
    • Force-guided NC contacts guarantee ≥0.5mm separation
    • Welded contacts prevent opposite contact operation
  • Environmental Protection:
    • Double-sealed PUR cable gland (IP69K)
    • Pressure-equalization membrane prevents condensation
  • Diagnostic Features:
    • LED status correlates with contact position
    • Auxiliary output available for PLC diagnostics (BNS-B20-12ZG-ST-L-OP variant)
