Intelligent. Powerful. Precise.
Absolute Single and Multiturn Encoders with Ethernet Interfaces
The trend in the market is increasingly moving towards Industrial Ethernet-based fieldbus systems – the rapid technical developments such as Fast Ethernet, dual-port switches, and full-duplex transmission have turned the original Ethernet into a powerful communication system. The benefits of using Industrial Ethernet–based fieldbuses make these networks a future standard in factory, logistics, and process automation. As a trendsetter, Sick has therefore added the three most popular Ethernet variants PROFINET, EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP to its proven absolute single and multiturn encoders AFS60/AFM60.
