4.6.3 Application Example of Safety Functions

An example of using safety functions is shown below.
(1) Connection Example
In the following example, a safety unit is used and the HWBB function operates when the guard opens.
Guard
24 V
Power
supply
Fuse
0 V
When a guard opens, both of signals, the /HWBB1 and the /HWBB2, turn OFF, and the EDM1 signal is ON.
Since the feedback is ON when the guard closes, the safety unit is reseted, and the /HWBB1 and the /HWBB2
signals turn ON, and the operation becomes possible.
Note: Connect the EDM1 as the direction of current flows from EMD1+ to EMD1-, because the EMD1 has polarity with a
transistor output.
(2) Failure Detection Method
In case of a failure such as the /HWBB1 or the /HWBB2 signal remains ON, the safety unit is not reseted
because the EDM1 signal keeps OFF. Therefore starting is impossible, then the failure is detected.
An error in the external device, disconnection or short-circuiting of the external wiring, or a failure in the
SERVOPACK must be considered. Find the cause and correct the problem.
