That's pretty much most of what I do now machinery safety etc.
IF the machine is CE marked and you modify it, then just realise that you take on the responsibility, the OEM can walk away once they find a modification.
Now as the equipment is CE marked as an assembly, if you do pilot the plugs for e-stop, then you would need to re-check the 13849 validation, which is going to be very difficult whilst you may have the MTTFd & B10d of the devices, you will not know the exact number of operations they have preformed to know how far into that life cycle you are.
ISO 13850 requires PLc in the absence of a c-type standard requiring something different.
