Operating principle 
By imposing the condition of simultaneous pressing of 
both pushbuttons, the operator is restricted t
o the two-
hand operation console and is thus unable to reach 
into the danger zone. The Modular Safety Sy
s
tem only 
switches the enabling circuits when both signals are 
active within 500 ms and the feedback circuit is 
closed.
If one of the two pushbuttons is
 released, the Modular 
Safety System immediately switches the machine off 
in a safety
-related manner. 
The four
-channel design in the two-hand operation 
console ensures that possible welding of one of the 
contacts is detected immediately.
After the emergenc
y stop devices are actuated, the 
Start button must be used to restart.
