The characteristic data is valid when using a motor encoder with an MTTF ≥ 57 years.
The motor encoder is already included in the characteristic data, so no more calculations
need to be performed for the "Safe Actuator" subsystem.

The safetyrelated characteristic data is valid for all safety functions.
All the units used within a safety function must be considered when calculating the safety
characteristic data.

The safety analysis of the plant or machine may necessitate a second encoder (external
encoder). Example: Fault detection in the mechanical transmission path between motor and
process.
The sensor subsystem consists of the motor encoder (sensor 1) and an external encoder
(sensor 2). A separate PL or SIL must be calculated for this subsystem. For this subsystem
structure, Category 3 with a DC of 99 % is acceptable. The following characteristic data is
required for both sensors (motor encoder and external encoder): MTTF
d
and λ
