AMCI’s ANG1(X) Integrated Stepper Controller/Drive product is a ground breaking approach to PLC-based motion control systems.
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(X) 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(X) 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.

Contact SalesAMCI’s ANG1(X) introduces Hybrid Control. AMCI's Engineering Group combined the strengths of Stepper and Servo technology into one motion control product. We’ve eliminated compromise.
Traditionally, stepper control was the preferred technology for low speed, high torque applications involving repetitive motion. The affordability of stepper control automation made it an attractive option, especially since installing and programming a complete system was straightforward.
Alternatively, some applications require dynamic performance related to shifts in load. This type of automation was best suited to Servo systems that use encoder position feedback to optimize acceleration, speed, and torque throughout the motion control. Servo systems are powerful, but expensive. Plus, their sophistication comes at a cost of complex programming and PID tuning.
The ANG1(X) is a “best of breed” product that delivers exceptional performance across a range of applications. Like a stepper, AMCI’s ANG1(X) delivers excellent low speed, high torque motion control at an affordable price. Like a servo, AMCI’s ANG1 can be equipped with encoder feedback to deliver closed loop performance that responds dynamically to changes in load.
Finally a high performance, low cost, and easy to program integrated motion controller that consolidates hardware (controller & drive) while working with a variety of PLCs and PACS.
AMCI’s AnyNET-I/O family is a distributed I/O system that combines hard to find specialty functions with a network interface, simplifying installation and cutting costs. The product family allows users to “mix & match” functions, including stepper motion
control and a variety of sensor interfaces, in a single solution.
AnyNET-I/O is compatible with any networked PLC/PAC and easily programs through the host PLC’s software. Its innovative product design simplifies installation, optimizes network performance, and ensures system integrity.
Multi-axis motion control: (1) ANG1(X) + (5) ANG1 shown below
The ANG1(X) easily expands from 1-to-6 axis of motion control by stacking additional controller drives onto the “master”, and it only requires a single network connection for all communication. This innovative product design simplifies installation, optimizes network performance, and ensures system integrity. Please see the diagram below for details.
AnyNET-I/O is compatible with any networked PLC
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.
AMCI's products program using your PLC's native software - nothing new to learn or buy!
