It can be flexibly integrated and is ideal for applications where status indicators must be in the operator's direct field of vision, such as on machines, conveyor belts, in robot cells, or on peripheral devices.
"With the ‘MC55 High’, we have created a solution that seamlessly adapts to the requirements of modern industrial environments – visible from afar, eye-catching, flexible, and smartly expandable," says Daniel Kensy, Head of Development at Werma. “The new design with a higher dome was developed specifically in response to feedback from our customers and represents the next logical step within the MC55 family.”

One-click solution for a wide range of applications
With the “MC55 High” lights, customers get a modern, flexible, and powerful signal light. They are designed to function both as classic machine lights and as compact "one-click" solutions as an alternative to signal towers.
The MC55 High can be installed in classic M30 mounting holes, surface-mounted or on various tube lengths. This means that the previous recessed light can now also be used as a surface-mounted variant for the first time – a significant gain in flexibility for designers and plant engineers.
Typical applications for the “MC55 High” range from signalling machine statuses to manual workstations or access controls. Thanks to time-based escalation, the light first activates a visual signal in the event of a malfunction; if there is no response, an acoustic alarm automatically follows.

Three variants – three solutions
The new MC55 High is available in three variants, covering a wide range of requirements.
– Standard – clear signals, easy integration: The standard version is available either as a tricolour variant (red/yellow/green) or as a multicolour version with seven colours. With or without a buzzer and equipped with a 5-pin M12 connector, it offers an uncomplicated plug-and-play solution for classic machine displays. It enables clear visual (and, if desired, acoustic) signals in the direct field of vision – ideal for classic applications such as machine or conveyor belt monitoring, where status indicators are required directly in the operator's field of vision.
– IO-Link – digital connection for networked industrial environments: The IO-Link version offers users maximum control and parameterisation options. Functions, colours, and statuses can be centrally configured and dynamically controlled via IO-Link. This makes this version particularly suitable for modern Industry 4.0 environments where flexible process adjustments, traceability, and fast responses are required. The RGB LEDs with seven colours and optional buzzer enable clear status assignments – directly from the control system.
– Smart – individually configurable signaling: The Smart version offers the widest range of functions and can be fully adapted to the respective application using the new Werma configuration software. Colour selection, light patterns (continuous, flashing, strobe, or pulsed light), tones, and time-based escalations. External devices can also be switched directly via the Smart version.
This provides customers with a tailor-made signalling solution that can be precisely adapted to machines, processes, and operating concepts – both as a built-in and surface-mounted light.

Consistent further development of the “MC55” family
With the “MC55 High”, Werma is expanding its proven “MC55” series with a versatile, powerful, and easy-to-integrate solution that impresses with its high visibility, flexible mounting options, and intelligent functions.
“The demand for compact, versatile, and intelligent signalling devices is constantly increasing,” adds Daniel Kensy. “The ‘MC55 High’ closes this gap – and it's just the beginning. The ‘MC55’ family will continue to grow in the coming years.”
