12 Device description
12.1 Brief description
Machine control panels supplement operator and visualization terminals. They
are used for the operation mode selection and the manual machine operation.
These devices contain operating elements, e. g., keys with LED displays, rotary
switches for feed override and spindle override, E-STOP buttons and machine
pushbuttons.
The machine control panels IndraControl VAM 15.1/VAM 21.1 were especially
designed to be used with the devices of the IndraControl Vxx product family and
are adapted to the design of these devices. The IndraControl VAM 15.1 width
corresponds to the IndraControl VPP 15.3 panel PC width or the IndraControl
VDP 15.3 width. The IndraControl VAM 21.1 width corresponds to the
IndraControl VPP 21.3 panel PC width or the IndraControl VDP 21.3 in vertical
mounting position.
The IndraControl VAM 15.1/VAM 21.1 devices are Maschinenbedienfelder with
Sercos III connection.
