(SICK: Minneapolis) -- The ANS/ANM58 PROFINET from SICK Sensor Intelligence marks a new generation of absolute encoders specifically designed for higher machine and system productivity. Available in both single-turn and multiturn variants, the compact ANS/ANM58 comes with the PROFINET global, cross-industry Ethernet fieldbus for industrial automation.

It delivers rapid, bidirectional communication with PLCs for shorter cycle times, high-precision movement control, and fast integration. The ANS/ANM58 PROFINET provides increased productivity across a diverse range of factory and logistics automation applications, including drives and control, packaging technology, mechanical engineering, electronics, energy generation, machine building, storage, and conveyor systems.

In automated machines and systems, encoders provide the basis for efficient and controlled monitoring of the movement of drives and axes via rotary sensors that measure position, speed, and displacement.
