We seem to be heading off at a tangent as usual. There is no mention from the OP of the control voltage!

And I think he was more interested in starting the motor rather than stopping it
.

I thought we were discussing control gear both start and stop as well a E-stop, and remote/additional/slave controls, which was exactly what the OP was asking.

And if it is as tied up in so much legislation and rules, as NBP says it is, then is it not better to discuss this? , even if this is to stop someone from either, doing something illegal and or dangerous ?
or possibly help the OP with a way around his problem ?
 
I just don't know how all we older electricians and engineers have survived all these years, working with 415V/240V control circuits and coils... lol!! Though, i must admit, most of the stuff i was brought up on in my early days was transformer derived 110V and 24V. But there was plenty of the other stuff, on the bought in equipment etc!! lol!!

Hi again Dacosta it is obvious the OP does not contain enough info so as usual we all make assumptions in giving feedback your OP basically says :-
" a rotary isolator into a stop/start into a motor operating a conveyor. "
Is it 3 phase or single phase ?
where is the contactor and overload that the stop start buttons operate ?
What is the control voltage for the stop start circuit ?
As I said earlier it appears to me to be a 3ph DOL set up not really designed to have the stop start circuit extended
Please post more info so we can give more relevant advice
