The latest range of Signum E-Stop devices are fully compliant with EN418, and offer users several benefits over other units currently available on the market.

When it comes to emergency stop circuits, 99.9% safe just isn't safe enough.

Siemens Automation and Drives' latest range of Signum E-Stop devices are fully compliant with EN418, and offer users several benefits over other units currently available on the market.

In addition Siemens excellence in design is at the forefront of safety fieldbus compliance, with devices suitable for AS-i network applications that eliminate the need for hard-wired safety circuits.

The Signum 3SF AS-i Safe E-Stops are classified for applications up to and including Safety Category 4 (EN954-1).

As it is possible to clip the devices directly onto the profiled AS-i cable, design and installation is made easier and assembly costs are reduced.

The intelligent E-Stops also make fault finding easier, reducing both commissioning and maintenance costs as a result of the increased amount of diagnostic data available.

Hundreds of devices are already installed in the UK, spread over more than 50 locations.

Rigorously tested to ensure full operational capability under the toughest conditions, all Siemens Signum E-Stop devices are rated to IP66 and have been designed to prevent teasing and overtravel.

Each unit can withstand shocks of up to 50g and vibration up to 15g at 10-200Hz.

The Signum 3SB3 metal device is rated to IP66/IP67 as standard, which is currently a unique offering in the marketplace.

Panel builders and OEMs who use the Signum range will also benefit from in-depth stock at many locations.
