Encoder designs

INFORMATION

A built-in encoder can generally be combined with an add-on encoder on the motor, e.g. EI7C built-in encoder and AK8W add-on encoder. This combination can also be made with an add-on encoder as a safety encoder, e.g. EI7C built-in encoder and EK8S safety encoder. Currently, only the add-on encoder can be selected as the safety encoder in such combinations. For more information on FS motor options and their combinations, refer to chapter FS marking.
