Safety encoder: EK8Z, EK9Z, AK8Z

The safety encoders are designed for operation with a MOVISAFE^® CS..A safety option from SEW-EURODRIVE. The safety encoders are connected to the MOVI-C^® inverter via the MOVILINK^® DDI communication unit. The encoder data is available to the former and the safety option for further processing.

Requirement for using the safety encoders:

• MOVISAFE^® CSS..A or CSA31A safety option
• Check the compatibility of the devices with the safety encoders with MOVILINK^® DDI in the corresponding product manuals.

When operating the safety encoders on a compatible MOVISAFE^® CSS..A or CSA31A safety option, the requirements for the evaluation electronics are met. Operating the encoder with encoder evaluation units from other manufacturers is not permitted.
