Powering the Module
Required Power
The ANS1 requires 12 to 24 Vdc ± 20% supply to power the module. Surges to 30Vdc will not damage it.
Current draw is 225 mA @ 24Vdc (5.4W).
This current draw does not include current through the inputs or outputs. If using the same supply to power
the I/O, their load must be considered when sizing the supply.

Inputs require 10mA each.

Outputs on the ANS1 can supply up to 1 Adc each.

Relay outputs on the RB-7 or RB-8 can supply up to 3 Adc when the KD-6 relays are used.
Wiring
As shown in the figure below, the power connector is located on the bottom of the module. The mating con-
nector is included with the ANS1. Spares are available from AMCI under the part number MS-4M. They are
also available from Phoenix Contact under their part number 187 80 37.
Figure 4.4 Power Connector Location
Power connections should be tight, as loose connections may lead to arcing which will heat the connector.
Phoenix Contact specifies a tightening torque of 4.4 to 5.4 lb-in (0.5 to 0.6 Nm).
The power supply is connected to the pins marked “+Vdc In” and “DC Return”. The “Chassis GND” pin is
used to attach the ANS1 to earth ground.
1) AnyNET-I/O modules are electrically isolated from the DIN rail by their mounting, but the
Chassis GND connection is common to all of the modules in the stack through a pin of the
IC-5 connector. At least one module in the AnyNET-I/O Stack must be attached to earth
ground through a heavy gauge stranded wire to ensure reliable operation of the stack.
2) Each ANS1 module must have its own power connection.
3) AnyNET-I/O modules will not be damaged if it is plugged into the InterConnect bus while
power is applied, but the stack will not reconfigure itself to accept the new module.
Transducer Installation
AMCI Engineering Data Download Location
The ANS1 is compatible with many of the resolver based transducer products available from AMCI. A list of
compatible transducers can be found in the
Compatible AMCI Transducers section of the Introduction chap-
ter, starting on page 13.
Outline drawings and specification sheets for all compatible transducers are available on our website at:
www.amci.com/resolvers.asp . Specification sheets include connector pinout information.
