Safety characteristics of the AM 1024-8V-K2 encoder
Question: I would like to use an MCS motor with an AM 1024-8V-K2 encoder in connection with safe monitoring functions. What are the safety characteristics of the encoder?
Answer: The AM 1024-8V-K2 encoder has the following safety characteristics according to EN ISO 13849-1:
PL: d Category: 3 PFHd: 1.00E-8 Mission time: 10 y
MTTFD: 1073 y
The above values are only valid if the encoder is evaluated by SM301, SM302 or extended safety!
