Description
NXAE2 mini-NEXUS Resolver Interface
AMCI’s NXAE2 mini-NEXUS Resolver Interface is the easiest, most flexible way to bring resolver sensor data into any PLC-based control system. These plug and play resolver interfaces are the trusted solution for bringing resolver data into your PLC when a plug-in module solution does not exist, such as with Rockwell Automation's 5380 ControlLogix. AMCI's NXAE2 connects a wide variety of Resolver sensors to your PLC using a standard network connection. Setup programming is from the host controller’s software so there's nothing new to buy and nothing new to learn! Compatible with most sensors on the market.
The programmable reference voltage, reference frequency, and transformation ratio allows the two channel NXAE2 to directly interface with a wide variety of resolver sensors. It can be connected to two single resolver transducers, including geared and redundant resolvers, or one dual resolver multiturn transducer with either vernier or reduction type gearing. Additional NXAE2 features include: absolute position, tachometer, and fault diagnostic data for single and multi-turn applications.
Distributed I/O
AMCI’s Distributed I/O systems combine hard to find specialty functions with a network interface, simplifying installation and cutting costs. These systems are compatible with any networked PLC/PAC and easily program through the host PLC’s software. The innovative product design simplifies installation, optimizes network performance, and ensures system integrity.

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 that supports 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.
