The WC cable control unit is available in two different models, the WC-R and the WC-M. It has 4 digital outputs, a fieldbus port (CANopen) and 4 digital inputs. Its STOP function complies with EN ISO 13849-1 and has starting keyswitch, which is used to enable the electronics of the control unit.

STOP or EMERGENCY STOP
With the new cable console you can take advantage of an additional benefit. It comes with a red “push” button that, thanks to its own characteristics and appropriate wiring, can have its safety circuits integrated in the machine. This allows the button to be used as either a [STOP] or an [EMERGENCY STOP] button. “STOP” is defined as a function that allows the machine to stop only in safe conditions, whereas an “emergency stop”(once activated) provides a stop to hazardous activities of a machine in the event of an emergency. The button used in the cable control unit can perform either a [STOP] or [EMERGENCY STOP] function, as it conforms to international standards and regulations that govern such as: ISO EN 13850, EN / IEC 60947-5-1, EN / IEC 60947- 5-5 and Directive LVD 2006/95/CE. When used as an [EMERGENCY STOP], the push-button, which carries a load up to 3 A/ 30 VDC, in addition to being red in color also has a yellow background and is indicated with the words “E-STOP” or “EMERGENCY STOP”. How to use this button is a choice based on the application requirements and risk analysis of the machine.
