FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SSI INTERFACE SPECIALIST RELEASES 4 CHANNEL
PLC MODULE FOR ALLEN-BRADLEY CONTROLLOGIX
AMCI's expertise with SSI interface technology has produced
another PLC module solution for customers using the Allen-Bradley
ControlLogix PLC. 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 December 12, 2005 – Advanced Micro Controls
Inc (AMCI), a Connecticut based industrial controls company,
announced the release of their highly anticipated 4-channel
SSI Interface module for Allen-Bradley’s ControlLogix
PLC platform. This module, part number 7264, marks the tenth
SSI interface solution that AMCI has brought to market for
their customers and represents over twenty years of specialized
industrial controls interface experience. “AMCI is proud
to offer Allen-Bradley customers another SSI interface module
that will plug directly into their PLC, delivering hassle
free performance out of the box. We work hard to design products
with outstanding performance in a user-friendly package and
the 7264 SSI interface module for ControlLogix is no exception”
explained Eugene Radoykov, Lead Engineer. AMCI is partnering
with Rockwell Automation in their esteemed Encompass program
to advance the marketing and sales opportunities for the 7264
product. The Encompass program provides any Rockwell Automation
customer a quick and concise way to locate compatible products
that offer unique automation.
As with all of AMCI’s SSI interface modules, the 7264
SSI interface module can be easily configured for a variety
of sensors and their unique data interface requirements directly
from the PLC’s output registers. No special software
is required. It is compatible with SSI transducers from today’s
leading manufacturers, such as Balluff, MTS, SICK, and Stegmann
and can be used in applications ranging from rotary to linear
to laser position sensing.
The resolution of all of AMCI’s SSI interface products
is only limited by the resolution of the corresponding SSI
sensor and each module provides the user with scaled data,
actual SSI data, and velocity data. Additional features include
position preset and programmable count direction.
Although the 7264 ControlLogix PLC module is AMCI’s
newest product, the company has been designing SSI Interfaces
for many years. “We recognize that industrial automation
requirements can be very different from one application to
the next and that is why we offer a variety of Serial Synchronous
Interface solutions for our customers” explained Matt
Tellier, Sales Engineer. Interested parties’ using any
of Allen-Bradley’s other PLCs such as CompactLogix,
MicroLogix 1500, SLC500, and PLC-5 can purchase SSI plug-in
modules from AMCI that are all Encompass Program approved.
For buyers seeking a GE Fanuc Series solution, AMCI also offers
plug-in modules for the 90-30 and 90-70 PLC too.
Customers requiring an SSI interface for their industrial
networks can explore AMCI's NEXUS solution; a network-ready
unit that can be configured for EtherNet IP, DeviceNet, ControlNet,
or Profibus communication. Called the NEXUS NX2E4X, this device
is capable of interfacing your network directly to four SSI
sensors.
Customers interested in the 7264 ControlLogix SSI interface
module, or any of the other PLC module and network-ready solutions,
are encouraged to speak with an AMCI representative who can
walk them through the specifying process.
