SCHMERSAL
Emergency Stop command devices are generally connected in the safety circuit of a machine or plant and are of particular importance in terms of the control system for these. In case of a fault or accident, the secure function and quick accessibllity of Emergency Stop command devices can be crucial for saving life, limiting the degree of injury to personnel or the extent of damage to a machine.
New requirements are placed on the mode of operation of these command devices by the new harmonised European Standard EN 418 regarding functional aspects and recommendations for the arrangement of Emergency Stop equipment.
