Two-encoder system
The failsafe actual values for a drive are provided by two separate encoders. The safety-
relevant actual values are generated either directly in the encoders or in the Sensor Modules
and are transferred without retroaction to the Control Unit by way of failsafe communication
via DRIVE-CLiQ. Each measuring system requires a separate connection or a separate
Sensor Module.
