Using Emergency-Stop Switches

When using emergency-stop switches, adhere to the following points:

•

Do not program emergency-stop switches in the controller program. Any
emergency-stop switch should turn off all machine power by turning off the
master control relay.

•

Observe all applicable local codes concerning the placement and labeling of
emergency-stop switches.

•

Install emergency-stop switches and the master control relay in your system.
Make certain that relay contacts have a sufficient rating for your application.
Emergency-stop switches must be easy to reach.

•

In the following illustration, input and output circuits are shown with MCR

protection.
