Hard Wire Base Block (HWBB)
A hard wire base block (abbreviated as HWBB) is a safety function that is designed to shut OFF
the current to the Servomotor with a hardwired circuit.
The drive signals to the Power Module that controls the motor current are controlled by the cir-
cuits that are independently connected to the two input signal channels to turn OFF the Power
Module and shut OFF the motor current.
The input signal uses the 0-V common. The following figure shows a connection example.
For safety function signal connections, the input signal is the 0-V common and the output signal
is a source output.
This is opposite to other signals described in this manual.
To avoid confusion, the ON and OFF status of signals for the safety function are defined as fol-
lows:
ON: The state in which the relay contacts are closed or the transistor is ON and current flows
into the signal line.
OFF: The state in which the relay contacts are open or the transistor is OFF and no current
flows into the signal line.
