Introduction to the ANS1

Physical Description (continued)
Network Connections
Figure 1.6 on the previous page also shows the location on the ANS1 that is reserved for network connec-
tions. If your ANS1 has a network connection, such as the ANS1E for Ethernet networks, connection to the
network will be made here. Refer to the appropriate AnyNET-I/O Network Interface manual for additional
information.
Compatible Transducers
The ANS1 is compatible with resolver based transducers as well as quadrature incremental encoders.
Resolver based transducers offer absolute position feedback and will survive the harshest of industrial envi-
ronments. Encoders offer the ability to easily change the length of a single machine cycle. Note that the
ANS1 does not decode the Z-channel of the encoder.
AMCI offers broad lines of transducers that are compatible with the ANS1.
Compatible AMCI Transducers
All R11X-J resolvers
All R15X-J resolvers
The HT-6 single turn transducer with the standard AMCI resolver
All members of the H25 family of single turn transducers with the standard AMCI resolver
All members of the HT-20 family of single turn transducers with the standard AMCI resolver
All members of the HT-20-(x) family of multi-turn transducers with the standard AMCI resolver
All members of the HT-400 family of single turn transducers with the standard AMCI resolver
All members of the HT-400-(x) family of multi-turn transducers with the standard AMCI resolver

Compatible AMCI Encoders

Compatible Foreign Transducers
Popular resolver transducers from other manufacturers can be used with the ANS1. Most of them will require
a
Reference Module
from AMCI to make the resolver compatible with the ANS1. The Reference Module is a
single ended transformer that either raises or lowers the reference going out to the resolver so the return sig-
nals are in the proper range for the ANS1.
Any incremental encoder with 5 volt differential output drivers is compatible with the ANS1. The ANS1 can
also be used with encoders that use a higher voltage driver or have single ended outputs with the use of appro-
priate current limiting resistors.
