Pendant Control Stations

Pilot devices provide control and condition monitoring of different types of processes, equipment and machinery in industrial and commercial applications. They are used for communication from a machine to an operator or from an operator to a machine. Pilot devices can be an audio or visual indicator, or an actuator that is used to control the flow of energy to a process. Visual indicators are: pilot lights, signal towers, strobes and beacons. Audio indictors are: buzzers and sounder horns. Actuators are: push buttons, selector switches, toggle switches and potentiometers.

Pendant control stations contain low power pilot switches that are connected to Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), relays or other automation circuitry to control large equipment loads. These loads are usually hoists or cranes, but can be anything from conveyer belt systems to production line equipment. Pendant control stations are used as the remote control for industrial machines, specifically for lifting and handling applications. In order to use them, an operator actuates the switches on the pendants in a specific order. This causes the machine to move in the desired directions. In most cases, the more buttons and switches a pendant control stations has, the more directions the machine can move. Pendant control stations usually come with push buttons, dials and switches and are connected to equipment through a cabling system.
