4. FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS
Three-position button
The three-position button provides signals, which:
When activated, allow the machine or equipment to be activated using a
separate start control signal.
When deactivated, initiate a stop function which prevents the machine or
equipment from starting.
Two three-position switches are used and controlled simultaneously to create a two-
channel architecture.
An important feature of the three-position button is that when it is released from
position 3, the ON position is never reached, i.e. the contacts remain open. The three-position button always
go back to position 1 when released.
