Hardware -- The safety speed monitor evaluates data from the safe-rated encoder. In a nutshell, the safety speed monitor evaluates the sine/cosine signals from the encoder, and determines if the speed is within limits and if the direction of rotation is what it should be. --The safe-rated encoder is built up redundantly with self-monitoring electronics and is third-party approved (TUV) --The safety speed monitor determines if the motion is outside the limits set by the user.  A safe-rated signal is then sent to an AS-Interface safety controller --The speed monitor can be used as part of an AS-Interface setup or as a stand-alone device
