Audience
This manual explains the set-up, installation, and operation of AMCI’s ANR2 AnyNET-I/O LVDT/RVDT
Signal Conditioner Module. It is written for the engineer responsible for incorporating these modules into a
design, as well as the engineer or technician responsible for their actual installation.
Applicable Units
This manual applies to all ANR2 modules, including those that have an integral network connection. This
includes the ANR2E which has an integral Ethernet port. This port allows the ANR2E to connect itself, and
up to five other modules, to an EtherNet/IP or Modbus/TCP network.
If you have an ANR2 module with a network interface, you will have to refer to the appropriate AnyNET-I/O
Network Interface manual for information on connecting the module to your network. These manuals can be
found in the PDF document section of our website at
www.amci.com/documents.asp
The AnyNET-I/O product line is constantly evolving. Check our website, www.amci.com for
