“1NO” means the contact is Normally Open — it closes only when the operator is actuated, making it ideal for start, enable, or signaling functions.
Q: Is the 8LM2TC10 compatible with Lovato 8LM pushbuttons?
Yes, it is specifically designed for use with Lovato 8LM series pushbuttons, selectors, and operator heads.
Q: Can multiple 8LM auxiliary blocks be stacked?
Yes. Lovato’s 8LM modular design supports stacking additional NO or NC contacts for more complex control logic.
Q: Is this contact block suitable for PLC inputs?
Absolutely. The 8LM2TC10 provides clean, reliable signaling compatible with PLC digital inputs.
Q: What is the difference between 8LM2TC10 and 8LM2TC01?
The 8LM2TC10 includes 1NO contact, while the 8LM2TC01 includes 1NC (Normally Closed). They can be used together for start/stop or enable/disable circuits.
