Description
NXFE2 mini-NEXUS Motion Controller
The NXFE2 mini-NEXUS Motion Controller is the first servo/stepper controller for the mini-NEXUS product line. The module offers one motion control axis that functions in either an open-loop configuration, or closed loop using the available encoder feedback. The motion axis can be used to drive a stepper or a servo with step/direction input capability.
These plug and play motion controllers are the trusted solution for your PLC when a plug-in module solution does not exist, such as with Rockwell Automation's CompactLogix 5380. AMCI's NXFE2 programs using the host controller's (PLC) native software - nothing new to buy, nothing new to learn!
Distributed I/O
AMCI’s Distributed I/O systems combine hard to find specialty functions with a network interface, simplifying installation and cutting costs. These systems are compatible with any networked PLC/PAC and easily program through the host PLC’s software. The innovative product design simplifies installation, optimizes network performance, and ensures system integrity.

PLC-Based Specialty I/O Solutions
Functionally, the AMCI NEXUS controllers and interfaces deliver the same level of PLC integration as their plug-in module counterparts, but with much more flexibility from a systems standpoint. Rather than limit these versatile products to one PLC brand or specific backplane, all units are Din-rail mountable and equipped with a network interface that allows connection to various controllers. AMCI NEXUS specialty I/O integrate with ANY network enabled PLC that supports EtherNet/IP, Modbus-TCP, or Profinet.
The flexibility of a NEXUS controls solution saves time and money, letting customers choose whatever PLC best meets their needs, or change PLCs without having to re-specify and repurchase plug-in modules. And because the NEXUS integrates via network communication, PLC platforms no longer restrict compatibility and integration.
Compatible Networks
NEXUS is compatible with any networked PLC
The Best PLC Integration Available
AMCI products are uniquely designed to provide the best PLC integration available. Unlike other products that require a separate software package for configuration or operation, AMCI's PLC-based products are programmed using your PLC's software - nothing new to buy or learn!
Our expertise with the leading PLC manufacturers (e.g. Allen-Bradley Schneider, GE, etc) is unmatched when it comes to high performance Specialty I/O, Position Sensing, and Motion Control technology.
