You got it right on those boxes ! If you allow for a "Remote" E-Stop
input.... Your RIGHT ON ! This is where I would plug in that big button
by the doorway I mentioned, in conjunction with the one at the machine.

I want to make clear that there is nothing really wrong about an E-stop
on the Pendant per say......... If you have room, but,

I just KNOW that one does not exactly think perfectly clear in an
emergency situation ( Chicago-Rohde island ??).

Having *too many* >> "I need to stop this rascal QUICK!" << options
leads to more confusion. If it is a "I should pause this once and think
about it" scenario, The Pendant Feedhold is wonderful. If it is anything
other... well, You get the point.
