FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SSI INTERFACE MODULE EXPANDS 1762 MICROLOGIX
I/O FUNCTIONALITY
AMCI has developed 1 and 2 channel SSI expansion modules
for Allen-Bradley 1762 MicroLogix™ I/O. The AMCI
7160 Series SSI modules enable customers to expand the
flexibility of MicroLogix 1100, 1200, and 1400 controllers
by adding the ability to monitor rotary and linear applications.
This low cost, compact, yet powerful solution is designed
to fit well within your budget. Using Rockwell
Automation Enabled™ technologies ensures that the
7160 series modules are 100% compatible with the Allen-Bradley
1762  MicroLogix
I/O.
Setup and installation is easy.
RSLogix 500 programming software is all you need to get started.
The controller and 7160 SSI modules can be mounted either
on a panel or on a DIN-rail, with the modules installed to
the right of the controller. The AMCI
7161 and 7162 SSI modules provide up to 32 bit resolution,
with selectable data format of either binary or gray code.
The resolution is limited only by the resolution of the SSI
sensor, and provides the user with scaled data, actual SSI
data, or velocity data. Features include position preset,
count direction, position scaling, and a latch input (7161
only). Fault diagnostics are also incorporated into the modules
to constantly monitor system integrity and report any errors
to the PLC.
Both the 7161 and 7162 modules are compatible with SSI transducers
from leading manufacturers such as AMCI,
Balluff, MTS, SICK, and Stegmann. The 7160 series SSI modules
are capable of working in a wide range of applications and
are compatible with the following SSI distance measurement
sensor types:
• Encoders
• Linear scales
• Bar code readers
• Non-contact laser systems
• and more
Customers interested in the 7160 series SSI Interface modules
are encouraged to speak with an AMCI representative who can
walk them through the specifying process. More information
can be found either by visiting the AMCI website (www.amci.com),
or by calling a sales representative at (860) 585-1254 during
