Not to be overly complicated but a little more costly I use a Dual Loop safety relay one each for each E-stop button. each e-stop button safety relay is dual looped to a master safety relay. I monitor both channels of all safety relays to the PLC . The master Safety relay is set for manual reset while individual e-stop Safety relays are set as auto reset.
This lets me determine if an e-stop is triggered or if I have a bad contact on one of the loops. being an end user I am not trying to cut costs on safety while keeping my Safety Manager happy.
