Remember Me

Summary: “The Emergency Stop Button - the button of last resort” may not have a thrilling plot (or any plot at all for that matter) but I hope it will help guide designers to the industry standards and norms and, maybe, will pass on some of my experience and knowledge I have gained over many years of doing, reading and listening. This 2012 edition of “The Emergency Stop Button - the button of last resort” has been completely re-written and attempts to bring the application what, where & how’s up to date, providing designers with, I hope, sound methods for assessing the required levels of reliability, practical suggestions for system architecture and component selection and methods of co-ordination with machine assemblies.
