    Hi there,

    I know there's quite a few advocates here for the complete power-off switch as opposed to the e-stop. I have a power shut down system, but I still think an e-stop has it's merits. The door connector seems to be a NC system, preventing me from wiring two switches together. Is there a way around this?

    Thanks

    Yes, if you really must :) - just wire them in series. Any break in the circuit will trigger an input configured for a NC switch.

    Thanks for that. I should actually kick myself for not coming up with that solution myself. I'm not really an expert at this stuff, but serial and parallel are concepts I should know about.
