Nearly 30 years ago, Werma established the modern manufacturing signaling market when they debuted their first-of-its-kind modular KombiSIGN stacklight platform.

Today with the release of eSIGN, Werma has created a new product set which defines entirely new standards for plant floor visibility, individual functions, and communication efficiency.

Werma’s newest product set, the eSIGN series, is unlike anything else in the industrial automation space!



Find out why Werma calls the eSIGN “The best signal tower ever.”

Incredibly customizable, the new eSIGN signal towers provide features no other Andon solution in the market can match.

  • Do you need to upgrade your existing signaling solution because your team doesn’t have enough up-to-date information?  Nine or fifteen individually-controllable segments with or without sound!
  • Do you need a single device that can alert operators using solid on/off, slow blink, fast flash, and even siren-style rotating animations?  Thousands of options!
  • Do you need audible alarms in specific modes, but not in others?  Configurable!
  • Do you need to be able to issue audible alarms in multiple different sound patterns from the same device?  Easy setup!
  • Maybe something a little more traditional which notifies you of a completed process? No problem!
  • Looking for a variable filling level indicator? Easy!

eSIGN’s multi-color LEDs make it easy for users to understand EXACTLY what kind of signaling is deployed.

Flexible interfacing options make the eSign series perfect for new or existing system designs.  Whether your machines operate on traditional 24VDC discrete signals (PNP or NPN are both compatible) or your equipment relies on the newest IO-Link interfaces, Werma’s eSign series has options to meet your requirements.

Eight unique eSign models to choose from:

  1.  eSIGN 15 Segments (Part no. 657.500.55) for 24VDC discrete control
  2.  eSIGN 15 Segments with sound (Part no. 657.600.55) for 24VDC discrete control
  3.  eSIGN 9 Segments (Part no. 657.000.55) for 24VDC discrete control
  4.  eSIGN 9 Segments with sound (Part no. 657.100.55) for 24VDC discrete control
  5.  eSIGN 15 Segments (Part no. 657.510.55) for IO-Link control
  6.  eSIGN 15 Segments with sound (Part no. 657.610.55) for IO-Link control
  7.  eSIGN 9 Segments (Part no. 657.010.55) for IO-Link control
  8.  eSIGN 9 Segments with sound (Part no. 657.110.55) for IO-Link control

 Every segment of an eSIGN unit can be configured with a unique color, with up to 625 colors to choose from.
 
 For sound-capable models, each input condition can be configured to activate any of 10 individual sound patterns. 
 
From Werma’s webite: eSIGN is the future of signal technology – a signal tower that sets new standards, thanks to electronic modularity.  Powerful features, maximum compatibility and an industrial design that blends functionality with style and robustness.  As the latest generation, eSIGN defines the future of the signal tower.Signal technology as you’ve never seen it before.The new eSIGN brings new dimensions to light. Electronic modularity enables the product to create a variety of signal modes with various colors, brightness levels and light effects, from the classic signal tower to completely customized settings. eSIGN can also switch with ease between variable filling level indications or full-surface signaling.
  • Classic signal tower indication in individual tiers
  • Autoscale mode for full-surface signaling and optimum visibility
  • Variable filling level indication from 0 to 100 %
  • Individual triggering to suit requirements

eSIGN – signal modes
The signal light with state-of-the-art LED technology – the latest standard in industrial signaling.

eSIGN offers the option to configure the color, light intensity and light effect of optical signals. This function can be exploited in one of four modes:

Signal Tower Mode

Individual eSIGN segments can be combined to create a single tower tier. This enables the creation of a classic signal tower in an electronically modular form. Individual tiers have fixed positions in this mode and may be off if the corresponding tier and optical signal are not activated.

Autoscale Mode

eSIGN segments are divided automatically and equally between the number of actuated pins and status warnings. This enables the full potential of the eSIGN to be utilized by providing complete surface illumination. If, for example, only one status warning is active, then the entire surface of the eSIGN is illuminated in one color for maximum visibility. If the segments cannot be divided equally, the color with the highest priority receives the last segment or remaining segments.

Filling Level Mode

The filling level indicator enables accurate signaling of machine processes as a percentage. This mode is suitable for applications such as indicating work progress or material availability.

Individual Mode

Each eSIGN segment (9 or 15 per tower) can be set and actuated completely individually, thus enabling maximum customizing of signaling options.

  • Clear, unmistakable light effects for maximum visibility
  • Different modes, light effects and tones for diverse applications
  • Two sizes, with/without siren, 24VDC supply voltage as well as versions with IO-Link technology
  • UL type 4X ensures resistance to UV radiation and environmental influences
