Operation

The Remote E-Stop must be connected to a Showstopper Base or Hub and the end of each Showstopper Accessory line must be terminated. The Remote E-Stop can be configured as a terminated or pass-thru device.

The Portalable Remote E-Stop will require a Terminator installed on the Showstopper Accessory Output.

Release all the E-Stop mushroom buttons in the system, and you are ready to Make It Move!

SYSTEM STATUS

The Showstopper 4 Base or any Showstopper 4 Hub includes three indicator lights, displaying local and system status. In addition, the OLED screens will display the status of any connected remote e-stop buttons.

Indicator Lights

The Amber system power light, the Green system ready light, and the illuminated E-Stop button quickly show the operator what is happening. For reference, use the chart below:

E-Stop ID Configuration

If you have a large Showstopper system spread across multiple floors, or you just want to geek out a bit, you can set specific IDs for each Showstopper 4 E-Stop Button and see the real time button status displayed in Spikemark.

In order to take advantage of seeing the E-stop statuses in Spikemark, you will need to:

  1. Set the E-Stop ID to create a unique ID for each E-Stop button in your system

Setting the E-Stop Node ID

The identifier for the E-Stop Button is called the E-Stop ID (Node). Each Showstopper 4 device needs a unique E-Stop ID from 0-127. This means the maximum number of addressable E-Stop buttons in any system is 128.

To set your E-Stop ID on your Showstopper 4 Remote E-Stop:

  • Open the Enclosure

  • Use the dip-switches to set the E-Stop Node ID using a Binary format

  • Close the enclosure

Dip Switches work in binary.

Switch 1 = 2^0 = 1

Switch 2 = 2^1 = 2

Switch 3 = 2^2 = 4

Switch 4 = 2^3 = 8

Switch 5 = 2^4 = 16

Switch 6 = 2^5 = 32

Switch 7 = 2^6 = 64

E-Stop ID's Available 0-127

Switch 8 = 2^7 = 128 (unavailable on the Showstopper 4 network)

If you want to set a E-Stop Node a value of 13, the highest number that fits 13 is 2^0, 2^2, 2^3 (1+4+8)

Switch 1 is 1

Switch 3 is 4

Switch 4 is 8

Hence, Switches 1, 3, and 4 will be set as ON

DIP Switch ID Table

Since I am sure you are not interested in doing complex binary math, Use this chart where we did the math for you to identify which dip switches need to be turned on to set the E-Stop Node ID.
