So i am probably over thinking this and likely have already made a good circuit on paper but i don't do these thing often and want to be sure.
I have TWO proximity sensors, NO, that when BOTH are closed/triggered will open a NC E-Stop circuit.
the prox. sensors are M18 HT series 180c normally open
the E-stop circuit is already there with a push/pull button.
the use? the sensors are going to be triggered/closed when its corresponding nozzle (plastic extruder) is closed. the extruder head has two nozzles and of course we will have one nozzle out and one in at a time, if both are out that's fine (doesn't shot parts but wont break anything) but when both nozzles are in/closed we need to trigger the E-stop to kill power to the extruder motor so not to cause pressure build up and blow the head off. I currently have the nozzles manually tied together so it can't happen but some people who know nothing want to be able to run the nozzles independent for some unknown reason.
