Absolute encoders AFS/AFM60 EtherNet/IP - SICK

The AFS60/AFM60 EtherNet/IP absolute encoders from SICK are the first encoders of their kind to feature an active web server as well as to make their function blocks available for fieldbus integration.

Mechanical engineers, integrators, and end customers all benefit from features including simple commissioning, significantly reduced configuration time, and direct, continuous access to the encoder via the machine's HMI user interface. Furthermore, the encoders are equipped with an FTP server for direct firmware updates. The web server configuration option opens up entirely new opportunities for commissioning, service, and maintenance by operating personnel who have different capabilities and levels of interface knowledge.
