Emergency stop module arrangement

摘要

An emergency stop module arrangement having a logic circuit for the detecting a switching status of an emergency stop switch and for the control of a load switch for the safe connection and disconnection of a load, wherein the emergency stop module arrangement has a first emergency stop module and a second emergency stop module, and wherein the first emergency stop module is coupled via an interface connection to the second emergency stop module. To reduce the wiring complexity as well as the space requirement for the arrangement in a switching cabinet, it is provided that the emergency stop modules are designed as plug-on modules which can be plugged on the load switches, and that each one of the emergency stop modules has at least one switching means which is mechanically positively driven with the coupled load switch.

1. An emergency stop module arrangement comprising:
at least a logic circuit for the detection of switching status of normally closed contacts of an emergency stop switch and for the control of a first load switch and a second load switch by means of switching elements of a first and second enabling path for the safe connection and disconnection of a load, wherein the emergency stop module arrangement has a first emergency stop module, as well as a second emergency stop module, and wherein the first emergency stop module is coupled via an interface connection to the second emergency stop module, wherein the first and second emergency stop modules are configured as plug-on modules which can be plugged on the load switches, wherein each of the first and second emergency stop modules has at least one switching means which is mechanically positively driven with the coupled load switch, wherein the first emergency stop module and the second emergency stop module each have a logic circuit and one of the enabling paths, wherein the first emergency stop module and the second emergency stop module each have input terminals for the normally closed contact of the emergency stop switch, and wherein the logic circuits are coupled to each other via a communication connection for changing switching status of the normally closed contacts, switching status of the positively driven switching means, and switching status of the switching elements of the enabling paths.
