SICK EtherNet/IP AFS60 User Manual

After 12.5 revolutions (i.e. after one complete revolution of the rotating table), the
encoder reaches the total resolution of 9000.

Encoder
The encoder is mounted directly on the shaft of the rotating table. The transmission
ratio is 1:1.
The rotating table has 9 fillers. The encoder is to be configured so that it starts counting
with 0 at a filler position and counts up to 999 until the next filler position.
1000 steps are configured as the total resolution.
1 is configured as the numerator of the number of revolutions, 9 as the denominator
(1/9 revolutions = 1000).
After 1/9 revolutions of the encoder shaft there are 1000 steps, then the encoder
starts counting again at 0.

Integration in EtherNet/IP
3.4.1 EtherNet/IP architecture
EtherNet/IP and thus also the AFS60/AFM60 EtherNet/IP uses Ethernet as transmis‐
sion technology.
The network components are usually integrated in a star or line structure.
