This document is an installation guide and safety manual which details the actions required for the
safe integration of the FORTiS-N FS encoder system with BiSS Safety or Siemens DRIVE-CLiQ
serial interfaces, as designated by the letter S in this location in the part number,
e.g. FN100A012HC28DS050X, into a functionally safe system.
FUNCTIONAL
The FORTiS-N FS encoder system is suitable for use in a Category 3 performance level d (PLd)
application in compliance with ISO 13849‑1 and in a safety integrity level 2 (SIL2) application in
compliance with IEC 61508‑1 and IEC 61800‑5‑2 when installed and operated in accordance
with the instructions defined. Failure to follow the correct use instructions and failure to heed the
limitations may result in SIL2 and/or PLd not being achieved and will invalidate the Functional
Safety certification.
