Functionally safe rotary encoders

20 June 2017

Whether dockside cranes with heavy engines, the harsh climatic conditions of wind turbines, explosive dust atmospheres in food processing technology or gases in painting lines – positions and movements must be safely detected in difficult environments.

Meeting the requirements of harsh environmental conditions, the CD_75 family of functionally safe rotary encoders from TR-Electronic provides a solution for integrated safety with absolute position and speed information, which can be seamlessly integrated into a safe control configuration.

Position and speed values are transmitted via PROFIBUS and PROFINET with the PROFIsafe protocol. OpenSafety is used for safe transmission with Powerlink and FSoE (Functional Safety over EtherCAT) is available for EtherCAT.

Unitsare certified for applications up to SIL3 and PLe.
