Why Choose the ABB MEP2-1001 Start-Stop Pushbutton Station?
The ABB MEP2-1001 is a complete 2-position Start-Stop pushbutton station designed for industrial machinery, control systems and local operator stations. Supplied under ABB order code 1SFA611812R1001, it combines two flush momentary pushbuttons with their contact elements inside a robust plastic enclosure.
The station provides intuitive machine control through a green Start (I) pushbutton with 1 normally open contact and a red Stop (O) pushbutton with 1 normally closed contact. Both pushbuttons use momentary operation, providing the conventional Start-Stop arrangement widely used in industrial control circuits.
The MEP2-1001 features a dark grey upper enclosure and light grey lower enclosure and provides IP66 protection. With an assembled size of approximately 141 × 74.4 × 60.5 mm, it offers a compact, ready-configured solution for machinery and automation applications requiring dedicated local Start and Stop controls.

Reliable Start-Stop Control for Industrial Machinery
Start-Stop pushbutton stations provide operators with a simple local interface for controlling machinery and industrial processes. A typical arrangement uses a normally open green Start contact to initiate the control circuit and a normally closed red Stop contact to interrupt it, allowing clear and familiar operation for production and maintenance personnel.
The ABB MEP2-1001 integrates both functions into a compact 2-position IP66 plastic enclosure. Its flush, momentary pushbuttons and pre-installed 1 NO Start and 1 NC Stop contacts provide a ready-configured control station suitable for a wide range of industrial machine-control applications.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery Start-Stop controls.
- Motor and equipment control systems.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Manufacturing and production machinery.
- Local operator stations.
- Process control equipment.
- Industrial automation systems.
- Remote machinery control stations.
