A-B 0-60063-1 l/O interface module

Product Detailed Description

A-B push buttons come in various series (e.g., 800F, 800FP, 800FM, 800T, 800H) each offering specific features and aesthetics. Generally, they consist of:

• Actuator: This is the part the operator presses. Common types include:

• Momentary: Returns to its original position when released.

• Maintained (Push-Pull): Stays in the actuated position until pulled back.

• Selector Switches: Rotatable actuators for selecting different states (e.g., ON/OFF, Manual/Auto).

• E-Stop (Emergency Stop): Latching mushroom-head buttons for immediate machine shutdown in emergencies.

• Illuminated: Features an integrated LED or incandescent lamp to provide visual feedback (e.g., machine running, fault condition).

• Mounting Adapter/Collar: Secures the actuator to the panel cutout.

• Contact Blocks: These are the electrical components that open or close circuits when the button is pressed. They are typically modular and stackable.

• Normally Open (NO): Circuit closes when pressed.

• Normally Closed (NC): Circuit opens when pressed.

• Slow Break/Fast Break: Refers to the speed at which contacts open/close.

• Light Modules (for illuminated versions): Contains the light source (LED or incandescent bulb).

Key Features across A-B Push Button Series often include:

• Modular Design: Allows for flexible assembly of actuators, contact blocks, and light modules.

• Industrial Durability: Constructed from high-quality plastics or metals (e.g., chrome-plated bezels) to withstand harsh industrial environments (dust, moisture, vibration).

• Self-Cleaning Contacts: Designed to maintain reliable electrical connection over long operating cycles.

• Easy Installation: Designed for standard panel cutouts, often with quick-mount features.

• Global Compliance: Meet various international standards (UL, CSA, CE, CCC).

Product Parameters

Parameters vary significantly by series and specific configuration. Here are common ranges:

• Mounting Hole Diameter: Typically 22.5 mm or 30.5 mm (standard industrial sizes).

• Contact Block Ratings:

• Voltage: Up to 600V AC/DC.

• Current: Typically 1A to 10A (AC-15, DC-13 ratings).

• Contact Material: Silver alloy (standard), gold-plated for low-current applications.

• Illumination Voltage:

• Common: 24V AC/DC, 120V AC, 240V AC.

• Lamp Type: LED (most common for energy efficiency and long life), Incandescent.

• Environmental Ratings:

• Ingress Protection (IP): Often IP66 (dust-tight, protected against powerful jets of water) or IP67 (dust-tight, protected against temporary immersion) for front panel. IP20 for terminal side.

• Operating Temperature: Typically -25°C to +70°C.

• Mechanical Life: Millions of operations (e.g., 1 to 5 million for momentary push buttons).

• Electrical Life: Hundreds of thousands of operations (e.g., 100,000 to 500,000 operations).

• Connection Type: Screw terminals (most common), spring clamp, or push-in.

• Actuator Colors: Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, White, Black (standard).

Product Advantages

• High Reliability and Durability: Built to withstand demanding industrial conditions, ensuring long operational life and minimizing downtime.

• Modular Flexibility: The modular design allows users to combine various actuators, contact blocks, and light modules to create custom solutions, reducing inventory needs.

• Global Standards Compliance: Ensures acceptance and usability in diverse international markets.

• Ease of Installation and Maintenance: Designed for quick mounting and wiring, with features like self-lifting pressure plates on screw terminals.

• Clear Visual Feedback: Illuminated versions provide immediate status indication, enhancing operator awareness.

• Wide Range of Options: A comprehensive portfolio of types, colors, and functionalities to suit almost any industrial control requirement.

• Reputation and Support: Backed by Rockwell Automation's global reputation, technical support, and availability of documentation and spare parts.

Precautions

• Correct Selection: Choose the appropriate push button type (momentary, maintained, selector), contact configuration (NO/NC), voltage/current ratings, and environmental protection (IP rating) for the specific application.

• Proper Installation:

• Ensure the correct mounting hole size and proper panel thickness are maintained.

• Securely fasten the push button to prevent rotation or loosening.

• Ensure proper torque is applied to screw terminals to prevent loose connections.

• Wiring: Adhere strictly to wiring diagrams and local electrical codes. Ensure correct polarity for DC illuminated versions.

• Environmental Considerations:

• Do not exceed specified operating temperature and humidity limits.

• If exposed to liquids or dust, ensure the IP rating is sufficient.

• Emergency Stop Buttons: E-Stop buttons require special consideration for wiring (redundant NC contacts are often recommended) and regular testing to comply with safety standards (e.g., ISO 13849, IEC 62061).

• Maintenance: Periodically check for physical damage, loose connections, or excessive wear. Clean the actuator surface as needed.

Product Applications

Allen-Bradley push buttons are ubiquitous in industrial and commercial settings for various control tasks:

• Machine Control Panels: Start/Stop buttons for motors, pumps, conveyors, and other machinery.

• Industrial Automation: Activating sequences, acknowledging alarms, switching between operating modes (manual/automatic).

• Motor Control Centers (MCCs): Local control interfaces for motor starters.

• Process Control: Operating valves, activating pumps, initiating batch processes.

• Building Automation: Controlling lighting, HVAC systems, and access points.

• Safety Applications: Emergency Stop buttons for immediate machine shutdown.

• Test and Measurement Equipment: User input for testing sequences and data acquisition.

• Material Handling: Control of conveyor lines, sorting systems, and robotic cells.
