FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LDT SENSORS GET INTERFACE MODULE FOR CONTROLLOGIX
PLC
Terryville, CT October 12, 2009 – AMCI releases the
only LDT interface module for Allen-Bradley’s ControlLogix
PLC. Bringing Linear Displacement Transducer (LDT) position
sensor data into the 1756 ControlLogix PLC is now easy and
affordable. AMCI’s 2 channel 7252
LDT/MDT interface card can directly interface to two magnetostrictive
sensors with PWM, control pulse, or start/stop signals. Features
include latch inputs, onboard diagnostics, and ease of installation
and programming. Utilizing Rockwell Automation licensed technology
ensures the AMCI 7252 LDT interface module is 100% compatible
with the 1756 ControlLogix PLC.
The 7252 LDT interface module is simple to install and program,
and is a direct interface to popular LDT sensors including
those from MTS Temposonics, Balluff, Gemco, and Turck. System
Integrators and PLC Programmers will value the module’s
simplicity and flexible performance. If required, the module
can use the coordinated system time (CST) to generate an interpolated
position data value for high speed applications, and latch
inputs are available for capturing the position data value.
Because constant and consistent LDT positional readings are
essential over an extended period of time, the 7252 interface
module incorporates onboard diagnostics to monitor and report
errors ensuring reliable readings.
Customers working in markets such as Forestry and Wastewater
Control will appreciate the module’s latch inputs for
capturing the position data value. For Liquid Level Sensing
applications, accurate level measurement is a must to ensure
that all materials are accounted for before, during, and after
batches are run. Some other applications that would benefit
from the module’s simple installation and ease of use
are Hydraulic Stamping Press, Plastic Injection Molding, and
Slitting. The 7252 interface module is a cost effective approach
to system upgrades, as the module can interface with your
existing sensor.
AMCI offers a wide
variety of sensor interface modules that provide 100%
compatibility with today’s most popular PLC platforms.
Customers interested in the 7252 ControlLogix LDT interface
module, or any of AMCI’s other PLC modules and network-ready
solutions, are encouraged to speak with an AMCI representative
to walk you through the specifying process.
