AMCI ANE2 SSI interface module

Advanced Micro Controls Inc. (AMCI) has announced the addition of the ANE2 SSI interface module to its AnyNET I/O range.

The ANE2 is a full-featured, 2-channel SSI interface that communicates with the host controller (PLC or PAC) via a single network connection (Ethernet, Profibus or Modbus RTU). Its flexible design is expandable to 12 SSI channels or ‘mix-and-match’ modules for resolvers, LVDT/RVDT or stepper control/driver while using the one network connection.

The ANE2 is compatible with any PLC that supports the product’s available networks as it is programmed using the I/O registers within the host controller. For example, Allen-Bradley users can configure using their RSLogix software and Schneider customers via Unity Pro.

The ANE2 features a direct interface to most gray code or binary SSI sensors such as rotary encoders, linear sensors, barcode readers, laser distance measuring sensors etc, and has DIN rail mounting.
