Heidenhain's Functional Safety RCN Angle Encoder

Dec. 5, 2013
With a Functional Safety RCN angle encoder, two independent absolute position values and error bits are generated for evaluation in a safe control.

Functional Safety RCN angle encoder has built-in components that are part of an immediate machine shut-off process in case of machine or component malfunction. With a Functional Safety RCN angle encoder, two independent absolute position values and error bits are generated for evaluation in a safe control. To ensure a secure connection between the shaft and the encoder during operation, an additional feature on the rotor has been added to be used when mounting a RCN.
