SNC 021 S-DIAS Safety SNC Incremental Encoder SNC 021 The S-DIAS Safety SNC incremental encoder module SNC 021 provides the values of two incremental encoders to the Safety CPU as well as the non-Safe CPU (standard PLC). The two-channel safety function "monitors" the increments in the incremental encoder interfaces and processes the so-called Safety core in two micro controllers with cross-communication.

If linear encoders are used or for example, a translation ratio must be included, as well as the calculation for the maximum permissible speeds and the scaling parameters that must be defined in the Safety Designer for each encoder, taken into consideration.
S-DIAS SAFETY SNC INCREMENTAL ENCODER SNC 021 11 Installing the Encoder Line and encoder errors are diagnosed using, among other things, the measurement of the encoder currents. For this purpose, the preset values for measuring current must be defined in the system. The current limits are defined in the automatic system automatically, so the user does not have to predefine or configure any additional parameters.
12 Important Notes for Two-channel Application When using the SNC 021 module in compliance with SIL 3 according to EN 62061 and PL e, Cat. 4 according to EN ISO 13849-1, it must be taken into consideration that for 2-channel application, a part of the possible wiring errors can only be detected by comparing the measurement results of both encoders in the Safety application of the Safe CPU.
