Motor

The existing encoder type is indicated in the motor type designation on the motor nameplate. If the FS logo is additionally displayed on the motor nameplate, then a functionally safe motor option is present, e.g. a safety encoder or a safety brake. The following figure shows an example motor nameplate with an EK8S encoder. The FS logo indicates that the EK8S encoder is designed as a safety encoder. For details on the FS logo, see chapter FS marking.

In addition to the motor nameplate, the encoder has its own nameplate with specific information on the encoder.
