Re: Hardware option
Ahhh yes, the great EMO button that doesn't actually do anything.
Reminds me of the time I was working late in the cleanroom, far away from anyone else, getting sprayed in the face by 40 liters a second of water, desperately trying to keep the flow contained, just barely able to press the nearby EMO on the water conditioning cabinet, only to realise the flow doesn't stop and the pump is still running full blast...
Then you're left with 2 options. Release the broken L-joint, duck left, sprint to the nearest console and enter the required commands for a remote shutdown or option 2, release the broken L-joint, duck right, sprint to the main shutoffs in the control cabinets at the end of the lane and just close the valves, letting the spike in water pressure force the pumps into an auto shutdown.
I'm glad I'm not the one that had to report a 40 000 gallon water spill at a later time into the sub-fab basement at a customers fab though... That must have been a tough talk.
