Foreseeable Misuse; Product Description; Other Applicable Documents - Kübler Sendix 58 FS2 Instructions D'utilisation

The encoder supports functions based on speed and rotation
direction information, e.g. in industrial processes or controls.
As a sensor, the safe encoder supports safety functions re-
garding speed and rotation direction. The encoder is not able
to achieve on its own a safe state in the safety function.
Dangerous situations must be detected and evaluated by a
superordinate controller.
They can i addition be used at locations where inflammable
mixtures can develop, see chapter
Explosion protection [} 41].
The measuring system and its evaluation unit must meet the
requirements mentioned in chapter Technical Data [} 42].

2.6 Foreseeable Misuse

The measuring system is not suitable for the following uses:
• Under water.
• In publicly accessible areas.
• As a standalone, independent safety system.
• Outside of the specifications stated in the data sheet.
• In areas where more serious EMC events may occur than
those defined in the standard.

3.2 Function of an Encoder
An encoder is a measuring device that converts rotational
movements into electrical signals. A distinction is drawn
between incremental and absolute encoders. Both deliver dif-
ferent output signals:
