Abstract
An emergency safety switch for a safety control system used to terminate the operation of one or more automated machines includes a stop circuit that is electrically connected to a connection port. The connection port includes a pair of interface ports for in-line serial connection to a wiring circuit provided by the safety control system to monitor various emergency safety switch and other detection devices. As such, the connection port provides a quick and easy manner for attaching and detaching the emergency safety switch to the wiring circuit, which facilitates efforts to install a sufficient number of emergency stop switches on an automated production line.
