New e-stops of the Shortron connect series
Safe operation
The e-stop FRVKDOO_C113 from SCHLEGEL offers more safety due to its additional illuminated indicator. As in every "connect" sub-series, the new pushbuttons and e-stops are equipped with a M12 connector.
The e-stop FRVKDOO_C113 with additional active/inactive indicator is designed for modular units or applications. Once the e-stop is active, the head is illuminated in red - as required by the safety standard EN ISO 13850. This ensures that the e-stop is recognised as such and can be found and operated in an emergency to put the machine or production line module in a safe mode.
When the machine or production line module is not active, the inactive e-stop is not illuminated. Because of the grey colour, the e-stop is not recognised as such and therefore, an inadvertent operation is being significantly reduced.
