Overview
It is also possible to connect AS-Interface cable-operated
switches via the standard AS-Interface with safety-oriented com-
munication.
In this case, the safety functions no longer have to be conven-
tionally wired up.

Application
SIGUARD cable-operated switches are used for monitoring or
for EMERGENCY-STOP facilities on particulary endangered sys-
tem sections.
As the effective range of a cable-operated switch is limited by
the length of the cord, large systems can also be protected.
Specifications
Switches with latching for implementation in EMERGENCY-STOP
equipment correspond to the EN 418 standard.
■
Function
The safety contacts of the AS-Interface cable-operated switch
are positively driven.
The AS-Interface cable-operated switches are ready to operate
after pretensioning of the pull-wire or the rope.
When the rope is pretensioned, it must be released before the
cable-operated switch can be returned to the original state.
