Alignment Types
The ANR2 supports four types of alignments.
One Sided Alignment:
You set the null point value and either the minimum or maximum value. This
alignment type is for applications that only use one half of the total travel of the sensor.
Two Sided Symmetrical Alignment:
You will set the null point and either the minimum or maximum
value. The value at the other extreme of travel will be symmetrically reflected from the null point. As
an example, setting a Null value of 0 and a maximum value of 10,000 at 1.000 inches of travel, will
result in a value of -10,000 after 1 inch of travel from the null point in the opposite direction.
Two Sided Alignment:
You will specify the count value for all three points. As explained in the section
of chapter 1 starting on page 9, the points do not have to be colinear.
Two Point Linear Alignment:
Use this method if you only want to define the two extreme points within
the sensor’s travel. The ANR2 will automatically adjust the gain of the input amplifiers to read the sen-
sor correctly.
Two Point Linear Alignment must be used if you have chosen to program only the Excitation
Voltage and Frequency while in Configuration Mode.
32 Bit Data Values
While in Alignment Mode, A-D converter values are transmitted in the position registers as thirty-two bit
integers with sign/magnitude format. In this format, the most significant bit of the first word is the sign bit. It
is “0” when the value is positive and “1” when the value is negative. The remaining bits hold the absolute
value, or magnitude, of the data. Table 5.2 shows the difference between sign/magnitude and signed integer
formats.
Table 7.1 Sign/Magnitude Data Format
Ladder logic examples to convert between sign-magnitude and signed integer formats are available in the
sample programs available on the AMCI website.

This chapter covers the format of the Network Output Data when the ANR2 is in
Alignment Mode. In this mode, you will set position values at the null, minimum,
and maximum points of travel.
