Describe the function of a switch (NO). List typical applications for each component Circuit symbols for pushbutton (NO), pushbutton (NC) and switch Pushbutton (NO) Function When the normally open pushbutton is actuated the contacts are closed and they remain closed until the pushbutton is released.

Applications Actuating contactors, solenoid valves and controllers in general, ON pushbuttons. Pushbutton (NC) Function When the normally closed pushbutton is actuated the contacts are opened, and they remain open until the pushbutton is released. When the pushbutton is released, the contacts return to their initial position and the circuit is closed (neutral position). Applications Actuating contactors, solenoid valves and controllers in general, OFF pushbuttons. Switch (NO) Function When the switch is actuated the contacts are closed and they remain closed even after the switch is released. When the switch is actuated once again, the contacts are opened and they remain open. ON/OFF switching function. Applications Light switches, ON/OFF switches in general, control switches. Festo Didactic GmbH & Co. KG

24 Exercise 1 Commissioning a stirrer Describe the difference between a pushbutton and a switch. The pushbutton changes the status of its contacts when it s actuated. When released, the pushbutton returns to its initial position automatically (NO is re-opened, NC is re-closed). When the switch is actuated, it s detented in the actuated position and remains there (ON or OFF position) until it s actuated once again (ON/OFF switching function).
