Renishaw builds on its existing functionally safe (FS) portfolio by introducing the world’s first SIL2 absolute open-optical encoder for both linear and rotary axis applications. The RESOLUTE™ FS encoder system, part of the RESOLUTE series, offers all the benefits of the standard RESOLUTE variant but with FS certification.
The standard RESOLUTE encoder is already designed to be inherently safe due to a built-in separate and independent position checking algorithm*, which has allowed seamless progression to full FS status and compliance with both the ISO13849:2015 (Performance Level D) and IEC 61508:2010 (SIL2) standards.
