Functional safety encoders provide safety-rated position, speed and direction feedback for machinery where uncontrolled movement could create a hazard. Integrated into safety-related control systems, they enable the monitoring of hazardous motion and support protective functions such as safe speed monitoring, safe direction monitoring and safe stopping.
British Encoder Products Company (BEPC), in partnership with German encoder manufacturer TWK, offers a range of safety-certified absolute encoders for applications requiring SIL 2 and SIL 3 capabilities, depending on the model.
Available with CANopen Safety, PROFIsafe and Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE) communication, these encoders provide OEMs and machine builders with safety-related motion feedback for integration into modern industrial control architectures.

TBN / TMN / TRN Series
Suitable for CAN-based machinery, mobile equipment and industrial automation requiring safety-related motion monitoring.
TRT-S3 Series
Suitable for PROFINET-based automation systems where position and speed information must be communicated to a compatible safety controller.
TRK-S3 Series
Designed for EtherCAT-based machinery requiring certified motion feedback within a functional safety system.
CANopen Safety
CANopen Safety enables the transmission of safety-related position and speed data over CAN-based networks. It incorporates communication safeguards to detect faults and support reliable data exchange between safety devices and controllers
PROFIsafe
PROFIsafe provides safety-related communication within PROFINET-based systems, enabling compatible safety controllers to receive and evaluate certified motion feedback.
Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE)
FSoE enables safety-related communication within EtherCAT networks, allowing safety and standard automation data to share the same communication infrastructure while maintaining separate safety mechanisms.
