An Allen-Bradley Illuminated Pushbutton Switch is a type of industrial control device designed for manual operation in machinery and automation systems. Manufactured by Rockwell Automation, Allen-Bradley is known for its high-quality and durable components, commonly used in industrial environments.
Key Features
- Illumination: These pushbutton switches include an integrated light source (LED or incandescent) to provide visual feedback, typically indicating the device’s status (e.g., “ON,” “OFF,” or a fault condition).
- Design Options:
- Momentary or maintained action.
- Various colors (e.g., red, green, yellow, blue, white).
- Flush, extended, or mushroom-style actuators.
- Durability: Built to withstand harsh environments with high ingress protection (IP) ratings, making them resistant to dust, water, and other contaminants.
- Modularity: Compatible with modular components for easier installation, customization, and replacement.
- Voltage Compatibility: Works with different voltage ratings to suit diverse applications.
- Standards Compliance: Complies with global standards, such as UL, CE, and CSA, ensuring safety and reliability.
Applications
- Machine Control Panels: For starting, stopping, or resetting equipment.
- Industrial Automation: Integrated into automated systems for human-machine interaction.
- Emergency Stop (E-Stop): Illuminated mushroom-head pushbuttons are often used for emergency stop functions.
- Signal Feedback: To communicate system statuses like power availability or process completion.
Typical Part Numbers
Allen-Bradley part numbers for illuminated pushbutton switches often fall under series like 800T or 800F. For example:
- 800T-H2A: Illuminated pushbutton with LED light source, standard mounting.
- 800F-M2: Modular pushbutton with interchangeable components.
