Probable Causes (ranked)

Fix Steps

  1. 1 Walk the entire conveyor line — check every E-stop station for pressed buttons
  2. 2 Check pull-cord switches — reset if activated, inspect cable tension
  3. 3 Reset safety relay after all E-stops are released
  4. 4 If no visible activation, check E-stop circuit continuity with meter
  5. 5 Verify safety relay output contacts are closing after reset
  6. 6 Check PLC safety input module for faulted channel

Field Trick

In a long conveyor line with many E-stops, use a meter at the safety relay input. Start at the relay and work backward, checking circuit continuity at each junction box until you find the open.
