These switches are
23、 used as components of enabling devices described in 10.9 of IEC 60204-1 to provide signals that, a) when activated, allow machine operation to be initiated by a separate start control, and b) when de-activated, i) initiate a stop function, and ii) prevent initiation of machine operation. NOTE 1 The
24、 enabling control function is described in 9.2.6.3 of IEC 60204-1. NOTE 2 This standard does not deal with enabling devices. This standard does not apply to: three-position enabling switches for non-electrical control circuits, for example hydraulic, pneumatic; enabling switches without three-positi
25、on mechanism; emergency stop devices (see IEC 60947-5-5). 1.2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
