New incremental encoder for functional safety from SICK

March 11, 2016 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

SICK’s new DFS60S Pro incremental encoder is a certified safety encoder that integrates safe motion into machine safety architecture.

The DFS60S Pro incremental encoder is a Certified Safety Product up to SIL2 (IEC 61508), SILCL2 (EN 62061), PL d (EN ISO 13849), Category 3 (EN ISO 13849). When used with the MOC Drive monitor and Flexi controls from SICK, the DFS60S Pro incremental encoder is ideal for mobile and stationary applications that require safe motion monitoring.

The DFS60S encoder makes it easy to integrate safe motion into machine safety architecture by reducing the amount of work required for verification, validation and safety engineering. The DFS60S Pro also features an IP 65 enclosure rating, wide temperature range, and wide set bearings for enhanced durability.

Additional features include versatile connection options for high levels of flexibility and straightforward implementation, as well as a compact installation depth for compatibility with applications in which installation space is limited.
