What are ABB switches?
ABB switches refer to a broad family of industrial switching devices manufactured by ABB that are designed for control panels, machine automation, and process lines. The range typically includes push-button switches, selector switches, illuminated pushbuttons, emergency stop (E-stop) mushroom switches, safety interlocks, limit switches, and key-operated switches. These devices are built for reliability in harsh environments and are commonly used to start, stop, or control equipment, signal status, and implement safety functions. When you search for abb switches, you’ll often see terms like ABB push button, ABB selector switch, ABB safety switch, ABB limit switch, and ABB interlock, all of which are part of the same ecosystem.

What types of ABB switches are available for control panels?
ABB offers a variety of switch types to suit different control tasks. Key categories include:
  • ABB push-button switches for start/stop and momentary or maintained action, often available in illuminated versions.
  • ABB selector switches for mode selection and multi-position control, available in different contact configurations.
  • ABB emergency stop (E-stop) switches with mushroom heads for immediate machine shutdown in an emergency.
  • ABB illuminated pushbuttons to provide clear status indication on panels.
  • ABB safety interlocks and interlock switches for guarding equipment and preventing access to dangerous areas.
  • ABB limit switches and micro-switches for position sensing in automation circuits.
  • ABB key switches and toggle switches for access control and sequence selection.
Each type is designed to mount in standard panels and enclosures, with variants offering different IP ratings, actuator colors, and electrical ratings to match your application.

How do I choose the right ABB switch for my application?
Choosing the right ABB switch involves matching electrical, mechanical, and environmental requirements. Consider these factors:
  • Electrical rating (voltage, current, AC/DC) to safely carry the load and comply with local codes.
  • Coil voltage or actuation method for related relay or contactor circuits (common options include 24VDC, 110VDC, 230VAC for actuation or remote control integration).
  • Actuator type and color to ensure quick recognition (e.g., red E-stop, green start, blue selector).
  • Mounting style (panel mount, DIN rail compatible, or surface mount) to fit your enclosure.
  • Environmental protection (IP rating such as IP65 or IP67) for dust and water exposure.
  • Mechanical life and electrical life to match duty cycle and replacement intervals.
  • Safety features like interlocks or guarded actuation when guarding is required by standards.
  • Industry standards compliance (UL/EN/IEC) to ensure compatibility with your control system.
If in doubt, consult the ABB product datasheet or speak with RS Components’ technical support for a precise match to your machine specification.

What is the difference between ABB push-button switches and ABB selector switches?
ABB push-button switches are primarily used for momentary or maintained actuation to start or stop a process, reset a fault, or acknowledge alarms. They come in a variety of sizes, with or without built-in illumination, and are often located on control panels for quick action. ABB selector switches, by contrast, provide multi-position control and are used to switch between operating modes or circuits. They typically feature a rotating actuator with multiple detent positions and can be wired for different electrical configurations. In practice, push-buttons control actions, while selector switches determine the operating path or mode of a machine.

What is an ABB emergency stop switch and when should it be used?
An ABB emergency stop (E-stop) switch is a safety device designed to immediately halt machinery to protect personnel and equipment during an emergency. E-stops are typically red, mushroom-shaped or larger actuator designs with a clear operating path. They must be easily reachable, clearly labeled, and wired to safety-rated circuits. Use E-stop switches at every access point to the machine and in control panels where rapid isolation of power is required by safety standards such as ISO 13850. Key benefits include quick access, unequivocal actuation, and compatibility with safety interlock and guard systems to ensure safe restart after an emergency.

Are ABB switches suitable for DIN rail mounting and control panels?
Yes. ABB switches are designed for common panel-building applications and many models are compatible with DIN rail mounting, panel cutouts, and standard enclosure layouts. When choosing, verify the mounting footprint, panel thickness, and whether the device is rated for the enclosure’s IP environment. For automation designers, DIN rail compatibility simplifies integration with other control devices like ABB relays, ABB contactors, and ABB PLC interfaces, creating compact, standards-compliant control panels. In addition, many ABB switches come with multiple terminal configurations (screw terminals, push-in connectors) and conform to international mounting standards, enabling straightforward retrofits and upgrades in RS Components catalogues.

How do I wire ABB switches in a control circuit?
Wiring ABB switches follows standard electrical control practices. Start with the actuator’s electrical rating and wire the device to the appropriate control circuit or PLC input. Common steps include:
  • Identify the switch type (push-button, selector, E-stop) and confirm contact configuration (NO, NC, or changeover).
  • Connect supply to the common terminal according to the device’s wiring diagram.
  • Wire auxiliary contacts if used for interlocking or signaling to PLC inputs or indicator modules.
  • Integrate any safety interlock or guard interlock logic into a safety circuit with proper safeguarding and fault tolerance.
  • Verify polarity and ensure a secure, vibration-resistant connection suitable for the environment.
  • Test with power off, then perform functional tests to confirm correct operation and interlock behavior.
Always consult the specific ABB switch datasheet for exact terminal assignments and safety instructions, and observe local electrical codes during installation.

What are common ABB switch product lines and where can I find datasheets?
Common ABB switch product lines include ABB push-button switches, ABB selector switches, ABB emergency stop switches, ABB safety interlocks, and ABB limit switches. ABB also offers illuminated versions and modular components that integrate with broader ABB control systems and relays. For datasheets, installation guides, and ordering codes, consult RS Components’ ABB switches category, ABB official catalogs, and the ABB product pages. Look for parameters such as mechanical life, electrical life, IP rating, mounting style, actuator type, contact configuration, and compliance standards. You’ll often see references to ABB S200, ABB S201, ABB... model ranges depending on the region and series, along with compatible accessories like bezels, seals, and mounting adapters.
