## Symbol convention

Convention: IEC
Form: Roller-operation qualifier
Autodesk IEC-60617 Symbol Preview — Operating-device and function qualifiers; vendor family reference, not certified IEC geometry or database identifier.

This qualifier identifies contact with a roller-operated mechanism.

## What it represents

This qualifier identifies contact with a roller-operated mechanism. A roller receives mechanical movement from another part and transfers it to the operating mechanism. It often helps explain a positional switch relationship on a machine or moving assembly.
Associate the mechanism with the physical position or movement it senses. Keep the corresponding electrical contact state and equipment tag explicit in the schematic.

## How to read it

- Associate the roller with its driven position and contact operating condition.
- A roller qualifier identifies actuation, not the electrical contact rating.

## Information to show or reference

- Identify the associated device, circuit or diagram boundary.
- Associate the roller with its driven position and contact operating condition.
- Cross-reference the equipment data, terminal mapping or operating-state legend needed to interpret the form.

## Important distinction

A roller qualifier identifies actuation, not the electrical contact rating.
