Third-party motors and TwinSAFE

The axis modules of the AX8000 servo system can be used to implement safe drive technology with third-party motors. Please observe the following notes:

Notice

TwinSAFE STO/SS1

The basic TwinSAFE STO/SS1 functions can be used with third-party motors. The connected feedback is not relevant here.

Notice

TwinSAFE Safe Motion

The sophisticated TwinSAFE Safe Motion safety functions require the connection of a functional safety encoder (Safe Motion Encoder):

  • Hiperface DSL (Functional Safety)
  • EnDat 2.2/22 (Functional Safety)
  • EnDat 3 (Functional Safety)

Notice

Non-observance may endanger product safety

If an external encoder is used, the machine builder is responsible for

  • the right choice of components
  • correct installation in accordance with the encoder operating instructions
  • the FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis)
