Application 
1 
This product is an emergency stop switch authorized by TÜV Rheinland according to 
IEC60947-5-5 compatible with the AS-Interface Safety at Work. When used in combination with a 
safety monitor that is programmed appropriately, this switch operates as an emergency stop 
switch applicable to safety category 4 in compliance with EN954-1 and IEC61508 SIL3. For this 
purpose, this product generates 8x4-bit code tables defined specifically for the product, and is 
scanned in each AS-Interface bus cycle by an AS-Interface master. At the same time, the data is 
checked by an AS-Interface safety monitor. The safety loop consists of this product, a safety 
monitor, and an actuator connected with the safety monitor.

-Removing AS-Interface communication unit 
First unlock the operator button. While pushing up the white bayonet ring with force, using a small 
screwdriver (width: 2.5 to 3mm) if necessary, turn the AS-Interface communication unit 
counterclockwise and pull out. 
-Panel Mounting 
Remove the locking ring from the operator and check that the rubber gasket is in place. Insert the 
operator from panel front into the panel hole. Face the side with the anti-rotation protrusion on the 
operator upward, and tighten the locking ring. 
To set an address while mounting this product on the panel, more than 
60mm space is necessary on the left side in terms of the AS-Interface 
communication unit. Note that adequate space cannot be allocated by 
the distance specified with minimum mounting pitch. If adequate space 
cannot be allocated, set the address before installing the product on the 
panel or set the address after removing the AS-Interface communication 
unit from the operation section.

Notes for removing an AS-Interface communication unit 
(1) Do not exert excessive force when using a screwdriver, otherwise 
the bayonet ring may be damaged. 
(2) When removing the AS-Interface communication unit, avoid rough 
handling of the unit. Rough handling may damage the switch.

Notes for Panel Mounting 
The panel thickness should be within the range from 0.8 to 3.7 mm. To 
mount the ES-XA emergency stop switches onto a panel, tighten the 
locking ring to a tightening torque of 0.88 N·m maximum using ring 
wrench ES-MT-001. Do not use pliers. Do not exert excessive force, 
otherwise the locking ring may be damaged.

Addressing 
10 
Turn off the power and then remove the lid of the address setting section. Connect the 
programming cable to the address setting device and insert the device in the address setting 
section. Then specify the address settings according to the setting procedures. After specifying 
settings, be sure to replace the lid of the address setting section. Specifying address settings on 
an AS-Interface slave is also possible using an AS-Interface master. Refer to the manual for the 
AS-Interface master for details. Setting addresses 1 through 31 is allowed. The address specified 
upon shipment is "0". 
Refer to the address setting device instruction sheet for the operation of the address setting device. 
-Connecting the programming cable for ES-XA address setting device 
The lid of the address setting device on the side of the unit can be removed by prying it out. Take 
care not to lose the lid, which comes off completely. By removing the lid of the address setting 
section, you are able to see the terminals for connecting a programming cable. Connect the 
programming cable to the terminals.

Wiring 
11 
For cabling of this product, mount the connector sold separately to the compatible cable and 
connect the main unit with the cable through the connector. A special tool is necessary to connect 
the connector to the cable. When mounting a connector at the end of the cable, use a connector 
for termination. 
A maximum of 31 units can be connected to a network. Addresses must be assigned to avoid overlaps. 
This product allows connecting safety slaves with safety equipment, and normal slaves without 
safety equipment at the same time. Do not connect safety related signals to a normal slave. 
The normal slaves for AS-Interface are divided into two types: A/B slaves with expanded 
addresses and standard slaves without expanded addresses. If A/B slaves and standard slaves 
are connected simultaneously, the maximum number of slaves connectable to a network may 
exceed 31. 
Setting Safety Monitor 
12 
When using this product in combination with a safety monitor, use a “2-channel forced” monitor 
device with the “Emergency shutdown” icon.

Notes for setting up wiring 
The network length is a maximum of 100 meters, including all wires. 
However, the maximum possible length of the wires may actually be shorter 
than 100 meters depending on the type of master and composition of slaves. 
Consider the lengths of cables and wiring topology so that voltage drops in 
transmission lines are no higher than 3V. 
Use the applicable two-wire flat cables for wiring.
