Hi. We are designing a ESD system on a biogas plant. I'm new regarding the safety standards and wanted to ask a question regarding safety relays.
An Emergency Shutdown System will shutdown numerous equipment and multiple safety relays will be needed (i.e. 12 SR). Is it advisable to parallel the Input (E-stop) to the safety relays? I am not sure if this will conflict with safety standards.
If not, the only solution I can think of is using additional E-stop contact blocks (max of 4) and use safety relays to create multiple E-stop signals which is more costly.
Thanks for the help in advance.
