Doug, et al, It seems that you are describing equipment to controll a process. The traditional UL standard 508c could apply and the MD/60204 could be used for Euro/Intl units. A simpler approach might be to use IEC 61010 process control to cover the basic unit and add ap

Doug, For the motor drives, take a look at the EN 61800 series of standards. I'd also be wary of using EN 60950-1, at least on its own, for the processors. If safety is involved (which it is if there are emergency stops involved) then you have a significantly bigger can of worms on your hands,
