Product Description

The 4E0060.01-590 is another special keypad module manufactured under the 4E0 product family line by B&R Automation. As a special keypad module, the 4E0060.01-590 does not support integration with other keypad and display modules during operation. Specifically, this keypad module is for emergency stops and requires separate circuitry. The circuitry implemented for this keypad module must be designed by an engineer or qualified personnel to halt machine or system operation at the user's input. Providing a special keypad for initiating an emergency stop of a system may prove advantageous, especially for mechanical systems relying on numerous manual inputs and intervention from personnel. When implemented correctly, 4E0060.01-590 may be used to halt the system should accidents or unexpected events occur.

During normal working conditions, the 4E0060.01-590 withstands an equivalent shock of 15 grams and vibrations of 0.075 mm amplitude in the 10-58 Hz range. Similar to other 4E0 keypad modules, this special keypad module withstands an operating temperature between 32 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit. During transport and storage, the keypad module tolerates a higher Fahrenheit range between -4 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Furthermore, the 4E0060.01-590's dimensions are similar to those of the standard keypad modules, which are 96 mm x 96 mm x 35 mm.

Another important quality of the 4E0060.01-590 is its protection category. With its construction and material type, this keypad module has an IP 65 protection class, which is the highest protection category available for B&R's keypad modules. The protection category has two digits, corresponding to the protection grade against particulates and liquids. The first digit signifies that the product prohibits dust from penetrating the casing, while the second digit implies protection against water jets coming from any angle.
