Description
NX2A4E2 NEXUS Networked I/O Resolver Interface
The concept of a resolver interface is nothing new to the industrial marketplace. The same cannot be said of AMCI's NEXUS NX2A4E2; arguably the most versatile resolver interface available today.
Engineered to provide absolute position and velocity data directly to the network, the four resolver channels can be configured three different ways: (4) single resolver inputs, (2) dual resolver multiturn inputs, and (2) single resolver inputs + (1) dual resolver multiturn input.
With 13-bit resolution for single resolver applications and 20-bit resolution for dual resolver applications, the NX2A4E2 can be used in applications ranging from metal stamping to high speed assembly and to overhead cranes. Whether your application calls for a single-turn resolver, multi-turn resolver, or some combination of both, the NEXUS resolver interface is the solution.
In addition to the above functionality, the NX2A4E2 also has a brake input that provides stopping time and brake applied position to the network. This information can be used for brake wear monitoring thereby ensuring operator safety.

PLC-Based Specialty I/O Solutions
Functionally, the AMCI NEXUS controllers and interfaces deliver the same level of PLC integration as their plug-in module counterparts, but with much more flexibility from a systems standpoint. Rather than limit these versatile products to one PLC brand or specific backplane, all units are Din-rail mountable and equipped with a network interface that allows connection to various controllers. AMCI NEXUS specialty I/O integrate with ANY network enabled PLC using EtherNet/IP, Modbus-TCP, or Profinet.
The flexibility of a NEXUS controls solution saves time and money, letting customers choose whatever PLC best meets their needs, or change PLCs without having to re-specify and repurchase plug-in modules. And because the NEXUS integrates via network communication, PLC platforms no longer restrict compatibility and integration.
Compatible Networks
NEXUS is compatible with any networked PLC
The Best PLC Integration Available
AMCI products are uniquely designed to provide the best PLC integration available. Unlike other products that require a separate software package for configuration or operation, AMCI's PLC-based products are programmed using your PLC's software - nothing new to buy or learn!
Our expertise with the leading PLC manufacturers (e.g. Allen-Bradley Schneider, GE, etc) is unmatched when it comes to high performance Specialty I/O, Position Sensing, and Motion Control technology.
