Abstract
Cable processing equipment for fitting out cables includes local control units for local setting-up of the processing stations, for example a crimping station. The local control unit of the crimping station has a trigger button for triggering the processing process and an approval button for approval of whether the crimping process is to be executed. The processing process can be started only with simultaneous pressing of the trigger button and the approval button. Moreover, the local control unit includes a cable call button for activating a feed unit for feeding a cable end of the cable to the crimping station.
