Universal encoder system
With U-ONE-SAFETY Johannes Huebner Giessen offers the next generation of the universal encoder system U-ONE to support machine builders and system operators in their endeavours to prevent accidents.
When rectifying faults, setting up machines or performing test runs it is sometimes necessary to intervene in procedures when the machine is running, something that could pose a risk to the safety of operating personnel. Activating safety functions such as Safely-Limited Speed (SLS), Safe Direction (SDI) and Safely-Limited Position (SLP) permanently reduces these risks to safety.
With U-ONE-SAFETY it is easy to realise motion and position dependent safety functions. New features in comparison with the previous version include a safe position and error switch as well as the latest intrinsically safe absolute encoder interfaces. In addition, the system offers a reliable speed switch as well as optional current or incremental outputs. It is possible to simply and reliably program the respective parameters utilizing the configuration software included in the scope of supply without having to intervene in the higher-level PLC.
