Traditional motion controllers are difficult to integrate with PLC-based automation systems. There are so many manufacturers, so many different choices, and each solution contains proprietary features that complicate installation, programming, and compatibility. You’re also faced with mechanical challenges because these motion controllers often use non-standard mounting hardware. And their configuration involves learning another software program and/or language foreign to your controls environment.

AMCI’s ANG1 eliminates these headaches with a revolutionary design that leverages modern networks to deliver unmatched value to automation users, no matter what PLC or PAC they’re using.

Expandable Motion Control: 1 – 6 Axes

The ANG1 integrates a stepper controller and driver into one, compact package that communicates with the host controller (your PLC or PAC) over the network. All programming is performed by the same software used to configure your PLC, plus it mounts on a standard EN 05 022 – 35 X 7.5 DIN rail to simplify installation and lower costs.

Summary: – Integrated Stepper Controller AND Driver – Incorporates Ethernet/IP AND Modbus TCP interface – Works with all PLCs & PACs that support Ethernet/IP or Modbus TCP – 1 to 6 Axis of motion control – buy what you need, expand later.

Hybrid control: – Servo performance using Stepper hardware. – Operate via Open or Closed Loop – Programming is easy! No additional software is required. – DIN rail mounting for simple, standard installation
