Two-encoder system
The fail-safe actual values for a drive are provided by two separate encoders. The actual
values are transferred to the Control Unit by means of fail-safe communication via DRIVE-
CLiQ.
For motors without a DRIVE-CLiQ interface, the connection is established by means of
additional Sensor Modules (SMC or SME).
Each measuring system requires a separate connection or a separate Sensor Module.
