Safe Feedback Combinations (DEN-NET-E Safe Motion - future release)
Denali Safe EVAL is designated as an evaluation product and is strictly for evaluation purposes for the Denali Safe NET drive. It is not approved for final application or production use.
The section below is relevant to the future implementation of the Denali Safe NET drive offering Safe Motion features.
Denali Safe NET can provide advanced Safe Motion functions by using two individual non-certified encoders:
Feedback Combination | ||
|---|---|---|
Combination code → MotionLab selection | Main feedback sensor | Redundant feedback sensor |
FBC0 → No feedback | - | - |
FBC1 → Primary absolute and secondary absolute | BISS-C BP3 - Port 1 | BISS-C BP3 - Port 2 |
FBC2 → Primary absolute and incremental encoder | BISS-C BP3 - Port 1 | QEI |
FBC3 → Secondary absolute and halls | BISS-C BP3 - Port 2 | Digital Halls |
FBC4 → Incremental encoder and halls | QEI | Digital Halls |
When no feedback sensors are used (FBC0), the available safety functions allowed represent STO, SS1 (time monitoring only) and SI.
In the case of using one of the above specified safety feedback combination the allowed safety functions are: STO, SS1, SI, SLS, SSR, SDI, SV, SS2, SS2, SOS, SLP, SLI and SP. For more information about the safety functions check the Safety Manual and the Reference manual.
Note: To guarantee enough diversity, the encoders must be of different technology or manufacturer.
Note: Other feedback combinations can be used for Motion Control purposes out of Functional Safety certification.
Note: Safe Encoders are not supported.
