Patent number: 11874642Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a safety control system having a processor that (1) automatically interrogates a portable data storage device, (2) determines whether a configuration profile of the safety control system matches a stored configuration profile in the portable data storage device, (3) obtains network settings of the safety control system, and (4) stores network settings into the portable data storage device. In an illustrative example, a safety control system may include a processor designed to perform operations to configure the safety control system with a configuration profile stored in the portable data storage device or download network settings of the safety control system to the portable data storage device under some predetermined conditions. By using the above method, the safety control system may be quickly configured, and network settings may be easily obtained and backed up.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2022Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Banner Engineering Corp.Inventors: John Klesk, Danielle Liu, Greg Sorvari, Dean Erickson, Jeff Dixon

Patent number: 11847384Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to generating a wiring schema with more than one safety device sharing at least one test signal through one or more external terminal blocks when the number of terminals required by safety devices exceeds the number of available terminals of a safety controller. In an illustrative example, the method may include determining a total number of terminals A of safety devices to be connected to a safety evaluation device having a number of terminals B. If A is greater than B, the method may then include generating a wiring schema that one or more external terminal blocks may show indicia of electrical connections between an identified set of safety devices and a shared terminal of the safety evaluation device associated with that set. Various embodiments may advantageously expand a number of devices possible to be connected beyond a number of terminals.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2023Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Banner Engineering Corp.Inventors: John Klesk, Danielle Liu, Greg Sorvari, Dean Erickson, Greg Anderson, Jeff Dixon
