An engineer at Proctor & Gamble asked:

Can a multiple-cell industrial machine have separate E-stops for each cell, each one red with yellow background?

 

SafetyMan says:
Yes, as long as the cells are separated and each is appropriately guarded where access is not allowed from the e-stopped cell into a cell that is running.
