Installation Guidelines
Panel Integration: Mount the push-button extension directly below the supported 15-inch CP6xxx or CP7xxx series Control Panel or Panel PC.
USB Wiring: Connect the internal USB communication line to the host Control Panel / Panel PC for push-button signaling, indicator light control, and graycode switch data.
Terminal Row Wiring: Route hardwired secondary normally-open contact lines from the terminal row directly to the PLC or safety control circuits.
Emergency Stop Wiring: Connect the emergency stop key directly into the machine's safety circuit according to local safety regulations.
Front USB Protection: Ensure the front USB screw caps are fully tightened when not in use to maintain IP65 protection against dust and liquids.
