Machine safety without SIL:

Variohm-Eurosensor Ltd News and PR from Variohm-Eurosensor Ltd - Published 14 September 2020 Wachendorff’s WDG series redundant encoders provide cost-effective safety
Wachendorff, the German measurement systems manufacturer, has recently launched redundant versions of its well proven WDGR and WDGE series incremental and absolute encoders. Available from Variohm EuroSensor, WachendorffÂ’s exclusive UK distributor, the new series combine disparate optical and magnetic measurement principles that are independently correlated yet fully synchronised through separate processing electronics. Providing true redundancy and utilising as few similar components as possible, Wachendorff see the new products as a compelling and cost effective alternative to expensive Performance Level d or SIL 3 based safety systems - with the two tried and tested measurement principles extensively used across thousands of industrial speed and position feedback tasks over many years.
