Protective devices are crucial for ensuring the safety of personnel working around machinery. However, there are scenarios where these devices need to be temporarily suspended to perform specific tasks like maintenance or troubleshooting. During such times, the three-level enabling switches allow operators to control the machinery manually, ensuring that safety remains a priority even when protective devices are not fully active.
In industrial settings, certain areas around machinery or processes are designated as danger zones where operators must exercise caution or wear protective gear. The enabling switches, like PITenable, are used within these danger zones to manually control the activation or operation of machinery when the regular protective devices (such as guards or interlocks) are temporarily disabled for maintenance, setup, or other authorized tasks.
These are safety devices that typically have three positions or levels of operation. Each level corresponds to a different degree of enabling or control over the machinery or process they are connected to. Safety solutions provider since 2011, safety and automation.
