In the model series TRK absolute encoders, the EtherCAT interface is integrated according to IEC 61158-2 to 6 and encoder profile CiA DSP406.
To achieve the SIL2 level, the TRK/S3 contains a redundant sensor system and additional internal monitoring mechanisms as well as safe communication via the FSoE (failsave over EtherCAT) protocol. The FSoE protocol is implemented according to the Safety over EtherCAT specification ETG.5100 version 1.2.0. The detailed description of the integratioin and commissioning in an EtherCAT network
