Sick UK’s new Ethernet/IP AFS60
single-turn and AFM60 multi-turn
encoders offer diagnostic and
monitoring capabilities for improved
plant reliability and availability.

Designed for both precision
applications and harsh industrial
conditions, the encoders integrate
DLR (Device Level Ring) technology
for continuous monitoring of
network integrity. Network
communications can be rebuilt
seamlessly in the event of a cable
break. The position of the break is
reported, enabling remedial action.

The round loop capability of the
multi-turn encoder cuts programming
and hardware costs for machine
builders. Its rotary axis function
enables the number of encoded
rotations to be defined as a fraction.
