CHAPTER 1
I
NTRODUCTION TO THE
ANS1
AnyNET-I/O
The ANS1 is an expansion to the AnyNET-I/O product line from
AMCI. The concept of this product line is simple: specialty and/or
high speed I/O that can be attached to any popular industrial net-
work; hence the name
AnyNET-I/O .
AnyNET-I/O is designed for a broad range of applications, from
small machines with a single control enclosure, to large machines
that use distributed I/O extensively to minimize wiring costs.
What makes the AnyNET-I/O line different is that all of the mod-
ules are available with or without a network interface. Eliminating
the need for a separate networking module lowers the total cost of
ownership for all applications, but especially for the cost sensitive
small machines that only require one or two sophisticated func-
tions.
Like many modern controllers, AnyNET-I/O modules are
designed to be DIN rail mounted. Up to six AnyNET-I/O modules
can be stacked together and accessed over a single network inter-
face. “Stacking” is accomplished through a small backplane con-
nector that snaps into the DIN rail before the AnyNET-I/O
modules are installed. These connectors allow the AnyNET-I/O
modules to communicate with each other. To the network, the
stack of modules appear as one continuous block of I/O words.
The ANS1
The ANS1 is a Programmable Limit Switch module that accepts 12 to 24 Vdc as its power source. The
ANS1 offers the following functionality:

A total of forty programs that can be stored on the ANS1. If the ANS1 is attached to a host controller,
additional programs can be stored on the host.

Eight relay and eight DC outputs. These outputs can be configured as limit switch, fault, counter over-
flow, or general purpose outputs.

Sixteen DC inputs. Inputs can be used to condition the outputs (Enable ANDing), preset machine or
limit switch positions, or as general purpose inputs.

Four setpoint pairs per limit switch as well as On/Off advances and timer output functionality.

Three different Enable ANDing tests for conditioning the limit switch outputs.

RPM ANDing to condition the outputs based on the speed of the machine.

256-bit Shift Register for machines that require multiple turns to create a single part.

Sixteen programmable Die Protection Monitors with fault counters that can monitor five different types
of events to guarantee proper machine operation.

Brake Monitor that reports both starting and stopping time of the machine.

A total of six counters that include three batch counters, a total machine revolutions counter, a total
parts counter, and a total good parts counter.
This manual is designed to get you quickly up and running with the ANS1 Pro-
grammable Limit Switch Module. It is possible to purchase an ANS1 with or with-
out a network interface. This manual only covers the functionality unique to the
ANS1. Information on connecting to the network interface is available in the
appropriate AnyNET-I/O Network Interface manual available on the AMCI website.
