The NMB-12 complements the NDB-6 and NDB-12 with a version for fast-running drives requiring the implementation of Stop Category 1 as an emergency stop solution. What this means is that when the emergency stop button is activated, it triggers a gradual adjustment such that the brakes only take hold once there has been a clear reduction in the run speed. This reduces considerably the dynamic forces to which suspended loads and suspension points are subjected in case of failure.
Since according to BGI-810-3 particular attention must be paid to dynamic loads in case of failure, and since also in many applications every kilo counts, this gives the user greater leeway as well as increasing the active safety level. With manned airframes, too, it makes sense to use the NMB-12, in order to reduce as much as possible the harmful effect on the body of any failure. Per system, one NMB-12 is introduced as a master module directly after the control consoles, whilst for subsequent cascading, standard NDB-6s can be used.
Two consoles can be connected to the device in Master/Master operation. The NMB-12 is equipped with twelve I-Motion network outputs as well as inputs for two DMB (dead-man-button) enabling switches and one external emergency stop button.
Further innovations and exciting developments can be seen at the Prolight + Sound trade fair in Frankfurt (Hall 9, Booth D84).
