8161S2H9V6GE2

Pushbutton switches are electrical devices used to control and measure energy flow in systems. Usually they are used to control the on/off state of a system, but they can also be used to sense parameters such as pressure, temperature, and integrity. 8161S2H9V6GE2 pushbutton switches are generic, ethernet-enabled switch control devices that are commonly used in critical applications such as industrial automation, motion control, and medical equipment.

Application Field

The 8161S2H9V6GE2 pushbutton switch can be used in many types of applications ranging from industrial automation, transportation, and medical systems. Some specific applications are:

• Industrial automation - The device is capable of switching digital control signals between devices to enable control of processes in a production line with minimal human intervention.
• Transportation - The device is commonly found in commercial transportation systems as a means to switch signals for controlling lighting, acceleration, navigation and other functions.
• Medical equipment - The device is often used to control simple machines, such as a surgical drill, as well as monitor patient vitals.

Working Principle

The 8161S2H9V6GE2 pushbutton switch works by sending and receiving data using a standard Ethernet protocol. The device features two rows of 9 vertically mounted momentary contact push buttons, each paired with a colored LED indicator. When a button is pressed, a signal is sent over the Ethernet connection to a master device, which will interpret the signal and trigger an action according to the programmed application. The device also features built-in resistance protection to ensure that high voltage or currents do not damage the device.

In addition, the device has an optional safety interlock feature, which means that if a switch is in the off position, it requires two simultaneous signals to be sent before it will automatically switch on. This helps to prevent accidental triggering of the switch and protects the end user system from potential damage.

Overall, the 8161S2H9V6GE2 pushbutton switch is a reliable and practical switch control device that can be used in a variety of applications. The device\'s flexibility and built-in safety measures make it suitable for many different kinds of applications.
