I cannot speak to the messaging you asked about but I am working on a system to tell me if the e-stop is the pc (as in startup) a local e-stop (one mounted on the machine) or a remote e-stop. The system simply operates a beacon and the flashing rate of the beacon indicates the trouble spot. It will force the pc into e-stop if local or remote.

If you have any interest please let me know.
Yes, please. Most people here learn better by examples then reading abstract manuals. So I am certainly interested in your system.
Thanks for your interest. I have (hopefully) attached a pdf with a description and photo of the e-stop module. A copy of the schematic is included as well.
If you would like to build one I have boards available as well as the pic micro.
I had to say it. I don't think its necessary to use hardware to achieve what your board does. You could use the sigggen component to flash the lights. Here is an example which i now have running stack lights. The green light flashes and you could apply the same approach to the red light for estop.
