Guys,
I'm trying to determine what components I need to purchase to do the safety monitoring for the E-stops on a machine that I'm working to automate.
I need good assistance from you guys since I've never done this but I'm very excited for the challenge.
When an E-stop is pressed what exactly is suppose to happen? Do the 120V ac that is energizing the coils for the motor contact needs to dropped? Could that be a potential hazard if we are talking about an elevator that is half way up and all of the sudden looses power?
Do I need to have a "Safety Relay" for every motor I have on this machine? Do I need "Safety Relays" and "Safety Contacts"? any other thing that you guys think I need please let me know.
