IDEC Control Stations

An IDEC control station is a small, flexible control assembly that accommodates pushbuttons, pilot lights, selector switches, E-stops and other control components in a single panel mount unit. Control stations provide simple, intuitive manual control for industrial machines, automation panels and automated machinery, providing personnel the means to easily control and monitor operations such as Start/Stop, Mode selection, etc.

Control stations can simplify the wiring and control of control devices by consolidating necessary controls into one unit, reducing wiring time and panel space. Standard cutouts and mounting centers allow simple and easy integration with existing panels. They are often used in factory control applications such as industrial plant floors, processing control, and automation control panels, where multiple control stations or controls are required.

Control stations are typically built to withstand industrial environments and provide long life and reliable service. Many of the products that IDEC incorporates into a control station, such as illuminated pushbuttons and LED pilot lights, offer long life, reduced power consumption and visibility under varying lighting conditions.
