Re: two e-stop switches

Thanks for bringing this up.
EMC has provisions for soft limits set in the ini file, hard limit
switches (some of mine also
serve as Home switches) and E(mergency)-Stop switches.

My E-stop switches (big Allen-Bradley N.O. buttons with guards) are
tied to the estop input
pin and a relay to kill power to the motors. They are for emergency only.

I'm no EMC or CNC guru but this works for me.
