■Overview		■Application
		Position switch with separate actuator
		The position switches with separate actuator are used in appli-
		cations in which the position of doors, covers or guards has to
		be monitored for safety reasons.
		The position switch can only be switched using the associated
		coded actuator. It is not possible to bypass it manually or using
		a tool.
		Position switch with tumbler
		The position switches with tumblers are special safety devices
		that prevent the inadvertent or intentional opening of protective
		doors, guards or other covers when a dangerous state exists,
		e.g. for coastdown movements of the switched-off machine.

The safety switch with tumbler has two main tasks:

•Enabling the machine when the protective device is closed and locked

•Disabling the machine when the protective device is open

The position switch can only be switched using the associated coded actuator. It is not possible to bypass it manually or using a tool.

It is also possible now to directly connect SIGUARD position	6

switches via the standard AS-Interface with safety-oriented com- munication. In this case, the safety functions no longer have to be conventionally wired up.

Position switches convert the mechanical positions of moving machine components into electrical signals.
