I have some AB saftey relays. The main system has all of the estops wired through the safety relay with a hardwired pushbutton to reset the relay. This kills the power to all drives when the estop is pressed. No problems here.
There is some support conveyors that also go through its on safety relay. At first it was wired to auto reset.
It now been changed not to auto reset. The operator has to push the fault reset on the PanelView and then restart each conveyor from the screen as needed.
Does anyone know if this setup is OK as far as standards go using a software reset vrs a hardwired pushbutton?
I don't know why at first the support conveyors where set to a auto reset. One of the inverters died and right before I heard a pop in the cabinet, the safety reset chattered a bunch of times and I think this blew on of the inverters.
