Resolver Interface for Networked PLCs

TERRYVILLE, Conn. - May 8, 2014 - PRLog -- Advanced Micro Controls Inc. (AMCI), announces the addition of their ANA2 Resolver Interface Module to the AnyNET I/O family of PLC-based specialty I/O products. AMCI’s AnyNET Resolver Interface integrates a network connection and expansion capabilities to provide a modern, versatile resolver feedback solution for any PLC-based system. The ANA2 expands up to six 2-channel modules, allowing users to interface up to 12 resolver sensors using a single network connection. The interface programs through the host controller’s (PLC) software, and is compatible with most resolver transducers on the market.

ANA2 AnyNET I/O Resolver Interface Features:
· Direct interface to most resolver transducers
· Built-in network interface
· Fully programmable Reference Voltage, Frequency,
& Transformation ratio
· 16-bit resolution (up to 65,536 counts)
· Supports up to 12 resolver sensors on a
single network connection
· Each ANA2 unit can connect to two single resolver
transducers or to one dual resolver transducer
· Provides absolute position and velocity data for resolvers
· Position scaling that simplifies sensor data
· Easy programming without additional software
· DIN rail mounting

Overview
The AnyNET I/O ANA2 is a full featured 2-channel Resolver interface that communicates with the host controller (PLC or PAC) over the network. The interface satisfies a wide range of applications because of its flexible design. It easily mounts on a standard DIN rail, simplifying installation and lowering costs.

The ANA2 is compatible with any PLC that supports the product's available networks since it’s programmed using the input/output registers within the host controller. No additional software is required to use the Resolver interface with the PLC/PAC. Users have the option of configuring & testing the ANA2 using AMCI's convenient PC-based Net Configurator software (downloaded at no charge).

Modular Design
AnyNET I/O easily expands from 1 to 6 I/O modules by stacking additional units onto the “gateway,” and only requires a single network connection for all communication. This solution enables the support of up to 12 resolver sensors over a single network connection, which reduces physical wiring and streamlines data traffic over the network.

AMCI’s AnyNET I/O family now includes: ANA2 Resolver Interface, ANG1 Stepper Controller/Drive, ANE2 SSI Interface, & LVDT/RVDT Signal Conditioner. For more information on AMCI’s AnyNET I/O family, visit our website>> www.amci.com/anynet
