FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SSI ROTARY ENCODER COMBINES OUTSTANDING DURABILITY
WITH PRECISION FEEDBACK
AMCI's expertise with SSI interface technology and encoder
sensors has produced an Absolute SSI DuraCoder, available
in either single-turn or multi-turn configurations. With over
twenty years of experience developing specialized industrial
controls, AMCI supplies the world with over ten different
SSI interface solutions, spanning seven different PLC platforms
and four industrial networks.
Terryville, CT February 22, 2007 - AMCI, a Connecticut based
industrial controls company, has launched an Absolute SSI
Rotary Encoder within their acclaimed DuraCoder family. Considered
the "The World's Toughest Rotary Shaft Encoders in a
size 2.5 inch package", AMCI's exclusive DuraCoder design
incorporates resolver sensor technology and integrated circuitry,
to deliver one of the most reliable and cost effective rotary
shaft encoders on the market today. Furthermore, it combines
the flexibility of SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface) with
extraordinary durability to deliver unbeatable performance.
In addition to industrial-grade construction, AMCI’s
SSI DuraCoder offers customers an optional 5/8" diameter
shaft, delivering trouble-free operation under significant
side/radial loads. This rugged shaft option carries a 100
lb radial load and a 50 lb axial load rating. Additionally,
this rotary encoder can be ordered in either single-turn or
multi-turn configurations, depending on application requirements.
Other features include a Reset to zero and an Increasing Count
direction input. An optional reset button allows the Multiturn
SSI DuraCoder’s data to be zeroed without the use of
any additional programming equipment or wires.
Like all AMCI products, the Absolute SSI DuraCoder can be
purchased alone or with an interface module, enabling customers
to balance their automation needs with existing hardware.
“The Absolute SSI DuraCoder was a natural product for
AMCI to develop. The long running success of our SSI PLC modules
and network able SSI NEXUS controllers gave us the insight
to develop a robust SSI rotary encoder. Customers who purchase
our SSI compatible products quickly realize the cost savings
through optimized performance, simplified installation, and
long-term flexibility” explained Matt Tellier, AMCI
Sales Engineer.
Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) has been widely accepted
for its high throughput, high accuracy and faster response
than other means of connecting sensors. In turn, SSI DuraCoders
are ideally suited for connection to AMCI’s SSI interface
modules or network based interfaces for easy integration to
a machine’s automation architecture.
Every SSI DuraCoder can also communicate over a RS485 link.
This functionality includes the ability to both read position
data from, and write setup data to, the DuraCoder.
Customers interested in the Absolute SSI DuraCoder, or any
of the SSI compatible PLC modules or network-ready solutions,
are encouraged to speak with an AMCI representative who can
walk them through the specifying process.
