EM Stop Connection Scenarios

The following connection scenarios are possible:

  • Scenario 1 - No EM Stop, single controller with its remote start enable switch set to OFF.

  • Scenario 2 - EM Stop, single controller with its remote start enable switch set to ON.

  • Scenario 3 - EM Stop, multiple controllers with their remote start enable switches set to ON.

Scenario 1 - No EM Stop, one controller with its remote start enable switch set to OFF

Single controller without an EM Stop.

A

Controller

B1

EM Stop default configuration

C

Remote start enable switch set to OFF

In this scenario, no EM Stop is used. The corded tool trigger acts as the safety device. The remote start enable switch on the connector board is set to OFF. The EM Stop connector requires the default or no EM Stop configuration. This is the EM Stop connector configuration that the controller is shipped with.

Scenario 2 - EM Stop, single controller with its remote start enable switch set to ON

Single controller with an EM Stop.

A

Controller

B2

EM Stop entry configuration

C

Remote start enable switch set to ON

D

EM Stop button cable connected to EM Stop connector

E

EM Stop button

In this scenario, an EM Stop is used with a single controller. The remote start enable switch on the connector board is set to ON. The EM Stop connector requires the B2 EM Stop entry configuration.

Scenario 3 - EM Stop, multiple controllers with their remote start enable switches set to ON

Multiple interconnected controllers with an EM Stop.

First controller

A2

Intermediate controller

A3

Last controller

B2

EM Stop entry configuration

B3

EM Stop bypass configuration

B4

EM Stop loopback configuration

C

Remote start enable switch set to ON

D

EM Stop button cable connected to EM Stop connector

E

EM Stop button

F

I/O cables connected between E-STOP IN and E-STOP OUT

G

Ethernet cables connected between PoE ports

In this scenario, an EM Stop is used with multiple controllers that are interconnected with I/O cables (RJ45 Ethernet cables). The I/O cables between the controllers are connected to the PoE ports (PoE 1, PoE 2). For each controller, the remote start enable switch on the connector board is set to ON. The EM Stop connector configuration depends on the controller location within the chain:

  • For the first controller, the EM Stop connector requires the entry configuration.

  • For any intermediate controller, the EM Stop connector requires the bypass configuration.

  • For the last controller, the EM Stop connector requires the loopback configuration.
