Safety Analysis: Should PLC Stop and Emergency Stop Buttons Use Normally Open or Normally Closed Contacts?

Safety Analysis: Should PLC Stop and Emergency Stop Buttons Use Normally Open or Normally Closed Contacts?

In traditional control circuits, such as forward and reverse control, star-delta starting, etc., the start, forward, and reverse buttons used in these circuits are all normally open contacts, while the stop button uses normally closed contacts. However, after learning about PLCs, you will encounter a question: Should the stop or emergency stop button of a … Read more

Why Should Emergency Stop in PLC Programming Be Wired as Normally Closed?

Why Should Emergency Stop in PLC Programming Be Wired as Normally Closed?

In PLC programming, the physical contact of the stop button is generally connected as normally closed, while in the program, it is written as normally open. This type of stop button only serves as a signal in this equipment.Why is the emergency stop in PLC programming opposite to that of a regular emergency stop button? … Read more
