Re: E-Stop circuit - a bit confused....

I like those circuits.

Installed a large contactor that way on my bench to switch everything on or off. When i get fed up with something i can punch the off button and it shuts down with a satisfying thump ;-)

There are standards. The normal Start-Stop circuit begins with a

normally closed Stop switch from one power rail to the junction of a

normally open Start switch and one side of the holding contacts. The

other side of the holding contacts connects to the other side of the

Start switch (they are in parallel, the holding contacts hold the

Start state) and this junction connects to one side of the coil. The

other side of the coil goes to common or ground. You really don't

want to switch an emergency circuit with a ground connection. Any

short circuit can simulate a ground connection.


The point is, it takes a specific action (pressing the Start button)

to get power but even the loss of power will cause the Stop function

to work. And the system won't restart.


A not particularly useful schematic is in Figure 7-16 here
