Has the hardware design of the PGT-08-S/1036616 changed?

The PGT-08-S/1036616 is used to connect programmable incremental encoders, absolute encoders or safety encoders to the PC and program them via the Engineering Tool SOPAS or the Safety Designer.

Due to a phased-out component, a change in the hardware design has recently been implemented in the PGT-08-S.

What points need to be considered before operating the PGT-08-S?

Please note the following points:

PGTs with a datecode from 26/32 or newer do have the new hardware design and are ONLY compatible with the
latest SOPAS ET/Safety Designer version 2026.1.

PGTs with a datecode 26/30 or older do have the old hardware design and also work with older versions of SOPAS ET/Safety Designer. Anyways please always make sure to use the latest version!
