Abstract (en)

A modular push button controller (1) for a crane, consisting of a push button unit (2) and and at least one module (41...44) attached to it with a detachable joint (27) and transmitting or sending a control signal (6, 11, 14, 17) to the crane. The detachable joint (27) permits each one of the modules to be separately attached to and detached from the same push button unit (2). The modules transmitting or sending a control signal are provided with plug-and-socket connectors (9), each one of which is compatible with the corresponding connector in the push button unit (2). The signal sent to the crane by the modules is a parallel signal (6), a serial signal (11), a radio signal (14) or an IR light signal (17) and the module may contain a signal converter (8) between itself and the push button unit (2). <IMAGE>
