We use a system of production stops as well as emegency stops. Production stops stop the facility they relate to eg the conveyor and where an estop would stop all conveyors in sight.
The production stops are push to stop pull to start types and generally we use blue to identify them.
The estops are latching twist to reset type with a seperate reset button which is use to reset the estop to the operational state. The start PB then needs to be pressed to restart the process.
A master reset PB is also installed on the MCC that allow us to reset all the estops (provided they are not activated) from a central location.
