Description
NR60E2 Ethernet Encoders
The AMCI NR60E2 series of heavy-duty Ethernet Encoders are compatible with all PLCs/PACs that support EtherNet/IP, Modbus-TCP, or Profinet. The NR60E2 series Ethernet encoders are available in absolute single-turn and multi-turn packages using an IP67 rated 60mm diameter industrial housing. Flange and servo mounting styles are available to suit various mounting requirements. These networked absolute rotary encoders provide up to 30 bit total resolution, delivering 16 bit (65536 steps) per revolution and up to an additional 14 bit (16384 revolutions) for multi-turn versions.
Easy To Configure & Install
AMCI's Ethernet encoders are designed for simple set-up and trouble free performance. The NR60E2 Ethernet encoders are compatible with all PLCs and PACs that support EtherNet/IP, Modbus-TCP, or Profinet including Allen-Bradley, IDEC, Siemens, and Schneider. Programmed using the PLC/PAC resident software ensures hassle free integration with your application.
The NR60E2 Ethernet encoders offer a variety of programmable features:
- Selectable Resolution
- Selectable Count Direction
- Selectable Velocity Format
- Programmable Presets for Zeroing or Homing
All programmable parameters and the preset offset are stored in the internal non-volatile memory for speedy retrieval, making it quick and easy to configure your NR60E2 Ethernet encoder.
Extras:
E2 Technology by AMCI is an innovative new multi-protocol approach to Ethernet distributed I/O. Supported protocols include EtherNet/IP™, Modbus-TCP, and PROFINET.
● Dual-Port Networking
● Multi-Protocol
● Web Server
● Native Software
The NR60E2 has a built-in Ethernet switch. The embedded switch provides a network connection for additional devices without increasing the nodes on your existing ethernet switch. Fault tolerant connections can detect a break in the network and redirect the network traffic maintaining communication and system up-time. See the DLR video tutorial on the bottom of the page to learn more.
Heavy-duty Performance & Reliability
The NR60E2 Ethernet encoder is resolver based and supplies absolute position feedback without glass discs or sensitive LED components, enabling it to withstand high levels of shock and vibration. The IP67 rated housing guarantees protection against dust and water ingress. Add the NR60E2 encoder's impressive shaft load ratings and ruggedness is second to none.
AMCI's NR60E2 Ethernet encoder is the heavy-duty solution for single-turn and multi-turn position applications requiring serious reliability for today's harshest industrial environments.

There are two color codes in common use when wiring Ethernet connections with twisted pairs. Either one of these standards is acceptable. Note that accidently reversing the Tx/Rx pairs will not affect the operation of the NR60. The NR60 has an “auto-sense” port that will automatically adjust for swapped pairs.
