These operating instructions apply to the functionally safe encoder (FSE) mounted on the
SIMOTICS motor. The functionally safe encoder is also referred to in the operating instructions
as an encoder. These operating instructions supplement the operating instructions for the
following motor series:
● SIMOTICS FD
● SIMOTICS TN Series N-compact
● SIMOTICS SD/GP/DP
● SIMOTICS VSD10/VSD4000
These operating instructions are part of the motor delivery. Store the operating instructions
near the motor. Please read the operating instructions prior to handling the motor and observe
the information they contain. This will ensure safe and disturbance-free functioning.
Siemens AG does not accept any liability for damage and failures that result from the nonobservance of these operating instructions.
Functionally safe encoders
The following encoders can be mounted on the motor:

● Sendix SILKüblerhttp://www.kuebler.com
● FSI 862Leine&Lindehttp://www.leinelinde.com/
● HOGS 100SBaumerhttp://www.baumer.com
Operating instructions for the encoder
You can find the relevant technical specifications for the encoder and its operating instructions
on the website of the respective manufacturer.
The operating instructions for the encoder contain the following:
● General information
● Encoder function
● Functional safety
● Data transfer
● Electrical installation
● Commissioning
● Technical specifications
Read and observe the operating instructions for the encoder.
Siemens AG assumes responsibility for ensuring that the directives of functional safety have
been observed for the motor with the encoder. The safety-relevant screw connections are
sealed with marking paint before delivery. This will then indicate any inadvertent or
unauthorized release of the screw connection.
No functional safety for incorrect use
If the information regarding correct use is not observed, the functional safety may be rendered
ineffective.
● Carefully comply with the information provided regarding correct use.
● Changes made by users to the motor and/or the encoder negatively impact operational
reliability and are not permitted.
● The motor is intended for installation in a machine. The company operating the machine is
responsible for ensuring functional safety. The company operating the machine is
responsible for the necessary safety functions and their attributes.
No functional safety for non-observance of the warning and safety instructions
2
If the warning and safety instructions are not observed, the functional safety may be rendered
ineffective. The safety functions of the system are no longer ensured. This can result in death,
serious injury or material damage.
● Please comply with valid regulations and operating instructions.
No functional safety without safety-relevant encoder evaluation
If the safety-relevant encoder evaluation is not implemented, the safety functions of the system
are no longer ensured. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage. The encoder
is only safety-relevant when used in conjunction with a suitable encoder evaluation unit.
● Use the encoder together with a safety-relevant encoder evaluation unit.
● Observe the operating instructions for the encoder.
No functional safety without conformity assessment
The motor is intended for installation in a machine. The operating company is responsible for
defining the safety level and its actual implementation in the machine.
● Evaluate the conformity of the machine before commissioning.
Only Siemens service personnel or personnel trained and authorized by Siemens may carry
out work on the encoder and the entire mounted components of the encoder. These include the
torque arm, bolts and shaft journal, if present. Qualified personnel require knowledge of the
following topics:
● Topics relating to functional safety
● Legislation, safety regulations and standards for functional safety
● Content of the associated operating instructions, manufacturing instructions and check lists
for assembly and disassembly
Contact Technical Support for the following topics:
● Maintenance and service
● Faults and how to resolve them
● Disposal
Responsibility and liability
The responsibility and liability regarding the functional safety and its associated traceability is
completely transferred over to the operating company:
● If the operating company damages the seal that was applied to safety-relevant screw
connections by Siemens AG.
● If the operating company carries out work on the encoder and its mechanical connection.
Resonance effects in operation
Resonance effects can occur on the motor as a result of the frequency converter or comparable
power controlling devices. As a result, the safety functions of the system are no longer ensured.
This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
● Optimize, for example, the controller parameters through an appropriate current setpoint
filtering.
Damage
To ensure the system comprising the motor and the encoder is not damaged:
● Do not use the motor and the parts mounted onto it as a foothold or step.
● Do not place any objects on the motor.
● Position the motor in such a way that the encoder is not damaged.
