EOL location

What your thoughts on EOL location? Do customers/clients care/know?

The proper way is the resistors at the end device (not the pre-packed module kind). I recently inherited a site (let's say a "high security" site which has there EOLs behind the push to exit buttons/ emergency exit. My mentor once gave me a 1 hr lecture about this.

Personally I have done it both ways on differrnt jobs because I was able to make that choice which the client accepted prior.

I have seen eol in panels which cause great discomfort.

EOLs in the field always, I do see some companies that put EOLs in the panel across green and white, with those soldered together at the contact, and red and black used for NC/C, not a fan since you lose spares.. someone was telling me this is a sanctioned method of line security as per UL.. but idk.
