I was asked at work to add a reverse button to a simple conveyor which has a stitcher (Bag closer) mounted on it and a mechanical "Kicker" for sealing 25kg sacks.
The machine supplier has fitted an e/stop button, but used the plc as a safety relay, with the "Reset" being achived within the program.
This is not any kind of safety plc, just a simple mitsubishi with 8inputs/8 outputs.
The machine is CE marked and less than 6 months old but I have flagged this up as unsafe.
Am I right?
