Rockwell Automation has earned
TÃœV certification for the B10d
Functional Safety rating on all styles
of Allen-Bradley emergency-stop
push buttons. This allows users to
take the certified safety product data
and include these products in
calculating the safety level of their
entire control safety system.
This helps improve worker safety because designers have greater insight into when components, like e-stop push buttons, will need to be replaced or repaired - to help ensure control safety system reliability.
E-stop buttons are used to cease motion. For example, in an emergency that might escalate into a hazardous situation, an operator can press the button to stop the machine or equipment, preventing further risk to the worker or the system.
