Question: I would like to use a motor with an AM 20-8V-D2 encoder in connection with monitoring functions of i950 ES. What are the safety characteristics of the encoder?
Answer: The AM 20-8V-D2 encoder has the following safety characteristics according to EN ISO 13849-1:
PL: d
Category: 3
PFHd: 4.00E-8
Mission time: 20 y
MTTFD: 500 y
The above values are only valid if the encoder is evaluated by Extended Safety!
