AFS/AFM60 EtherCAT® ABSOLUTE ENCODERS

INTELLIGENT, POWERFUL, PRECISE

Product description

Intelligent diagnostic functions and
rapid data transfer: High-resolution AFS/
AFM60 EtherCAT
represent high-precision measurement
of absolute position and speed in the
area of industrial automation. Compre­hensive functions for diagnosing param­eters such as temperature or operating
time and early error detection increase

network reliability. Various conguration
options, such as modication of resolu-
