Safety characteristics of the AS 1024-8V-H encoder
Question: I would like to use an MCS motor with an AS 1024-8V-H encoder in connection with safe monitoring functions. What are the safety characteristics of the encoder?
Answer: The AS 1024-8V-H encoder has the following safety characteristics according to EN ISO 13849-1:
PL: d
Category: 2
PFHd: 8.90E-8
DCavg: 90 %
CCF: 80 points
Mission time: 20 a
The above values are only valid if the encoder is evaluated by SM301, SM302 or i950 Extended Safety!
Since 2013 the encoders AS 1024-8V-K2 have to be used for new safety-related applications with a one-encoder-concept.
