Functionally Safe Rotary Encoder
A step ahead through new concepts
Rotary encoders with integrated functional safety from Pepperl+Fuchs reach high categories of safety.
Plant manufacturers, system integrators and component manufacturers are faced with ever-higher standards of functional safety due to an increase in the level of automation in machine and plant engineering. Improvements to the functionality of conventional control systems are required, especially the capacity to meet safety function needs, such as in modern drive controllers.
Secure rotary encoders with functional safety have thus gained in importance. Pepperl+Fuchs GmbH responds to these needs with certified rotary encoders that enable a cost-effective integration through innovative concepts. New ideas use existing communication paths to simplify implementation and allow use in high-safety facilities of up to SIL3 or PLe.
