Abstract

The invention proposes an optical signaling device, in particular a signaling lamp or a modular signaling column (1) or the like, having at least one luminous unit (2) comprising at least one luminous element (20) for optically indicating one or more different operating states of a technical device such as a machine, an installation or the like, at least one electrical and/or electronic connection unit (27) being provided for the purpose of connecting or making contact with at least the technical device, at least one electrical and/or electronic linking unit (12) being provided between the connection unit (27) and the luminous unit (2) for the purpose of electrically and/or electronically linking the connection unit (27) to the luminous unit (2), thus implementing additional technical possibilities or functionalities. This is achieved according to the invention by virtue of the fact that the linking unit (12) has at least one electrical and/or electronic switching element (21, 22) for establishing and/or disconnecting the electrical and/or electronic link between the luminous unit (2) and the connection unit (27), the electrical and/or electronic switching element (21, 22) also being in the form of an actuator switch (21, 22) for switching at least one actuating element (28) of a first actuator (8) of the technical device and/or a second actuator (8) which is separate from the technical device.
