Look at the machine wiring diagram e-stop line. Usually for an external device there is a link removed to connect to the e-stop line, in your case the quick load. For the control to specify the feeder it must have a secondary input for the quick load. It could be the quick load e-stop button has two n/c contacts, one for hardware e-stop in series with all other e-stop functions and one to an input card. I would check these PB switch contacts first. If ok, check machine side.
