C.1.9 Motor Interlock Connector (BNC)
This connector is provided for the wiring of one or more remote
Emergency Stop switches. They will have the same effect as the front
panel STOP ALL button.
The switch has to be normally closed for operation. If more than one
switch is installed, they should be connected in series. The minimum
rating for the switches should be
50 mA at 5V.
The ESP300 is supplied with a dust cap that automatically provides
the proper connection for operation if no switch is connected
(See
Figure C.3).
