When the contacts are Normally Closed (NC) the stop button is "in series" with the supply voltage. By activating the STOP function the contacts open interrupting the flow of current.
The start button on a start/stop is normally in what position?
An electrical switching device that in it's normal rest state does not conduct an electrical current. To become conductive an external force must be applied to change, (switch), it's physical state from open to closed.
It is a contact block with three poles. Pole one is normally open, pole two is normally closed and pole three is normally open. These reading are taken in a de-energized condition. When energized the contacts will change status to closed, open and closed.
It depends on the phototransistor's design. Most are normally open until you shine light on them.
When the contacts are Normally Closed (NC) the stop button is "in series" with the supply voltage. By activating the STOP function the contacts open interrupting the flow of current.
Under normal conditions, the stop button should not be interrupting the circuit, so the circuit must be closed. When the stop button is used, it should open the circuit. it is a N.C. switch because this follows its' purpose.
The start button on a start/stop is normally in what position?
Yes. The technical term for a push-on button is 'normally open'. If you want a push-off button, you are looking for one with 'normally closed' contacts. Any electronics supply house or electrical supply will know what you are talking about if you ask for a normally-closed pushbutton.
You add an auxilliary normally open contact to the contactor. This contact will be closed any time the contactor is energized. Wire the contact in parallel with your start button. It works like this: When you push the start button, the contactor energizes, starting the motor (or whatever you are controlling). At the same time, it closes the aux. contact. You can now let go of the button, because the aux contact is holding the circuit energized for you. Of course, now the load will run forever, so you have to add another button to break the circuit, allowing the contactor to de-energize. The start button is normally open, closing when you push it. The stop button is normally closed, opening when you push it. Most starter contactors have auxilliary contact kits that you can buy just for this purpose.

A normally closed switch is a switch that is normally closed. When you operate it, it opens.
Normally the Start button will pause a game, but the console can be closed, which will put it into sleep mode and pause the game.
A red coloured stop button can be used to either stop the machine normally, or to do an emergency stop in a hurry. It is larger and prominent to make it quicker and easier to smack the button with an open hand. The smaller green coloured start button is either level or recessed, meaning a finger has to be used to start the machine.The emergency stop button will twist when pushed and stay down, breaking the circuit. It has to be turned to release the button back for normal use and to use the start button again.
In switch language, open means to disconnect, or break the circuit. Some people call this "turned off". Closed, is to connect, or make the circuit. Some people call this turned on. In the case of a normally open switch, the switch is open (off) unless something takes action on the switch. Pushes a button for example, or holds a magnet near the switch, or other active force. A normally closed switch is closed (on) unless some force causes the switch to be opened.
