Overview
Safe, easy, flexible: Encoders for functional safety
Safe electrical and mechanical design, easy system implementation and flexible application possibilities. The DFS60S Pro is an incremental encoder for functional safety. It supports safety functions conforming to IEC 61800-5-2. The high enclosure rating, wide temperature range and generous ball bearing clearance are the key to enhanced durability. They make the DFS60S Pro the universal motion control sensor for stationary and mobile safety applications.
- Encoders for functional safety technology: SIL2 (IEC 61508), SILCL2 (EN 62061), PL d (EN ISO 13849)
- Electrical interface: 4.5 V ... 32 V; sine/cosine 1 VPP; 1,024 periods
- Clamping flange or servo flange, blind hollow shaft or through hollow shaft (assembly options with feather key)
- Universal cable outlet, M23 or M12 male connector, axial or radial
- Enclosure rating: IP 65
- Working temperature range: –30°C ... +95°C (depending on type)

Advantages
Safe
Mechanical safety and reliability are particularly important for safe encoders. The DFS60S Pro encoder fulfills the strictest test criteria and is a safety product certified up to SIL 2 or PL d. The DFS60S Pro supports the safety functions defined in IEC 61800-5-2 and guarantees first-class quality and absolute precision – in every detail. It boasts a precise optical scanning system and a high mechanical load capability.
SO SIMPLE YET SO SAFE
Mechanical reliability - thanks to safety clamping ring with positive and non-positive connections
Successfully tested by the Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the German Social Accident Insurance (IFA)
Mechanical reliability - solid shaft flattened or with feather key groove
Its electronic and mechanical design ensures certified safety levels, every time.
Easy
Implementation is easy because with the DFS60S Pro, safety functions for stationary and mobile safety applications can be made available in next to no time. The significantly reduces time and costs for implementation. Particularly when the encoder is combined with safety products from SICK (optional). This is very easy to set up using the plug and play principle and gives you the benefit of coordinated safety products. It's the ideal solution for ensuring the safety of people, machines, and systems.
