The AMCI 8213 Programmable Limit Switch Module is an advanced ControlLogix-compatible motion control module that integrates seamlessly into automation racks, providing real-time position monitoring through brushless resolver feedback. This versatile module generates up to 32 limit switch outputs (16 physical and 16 virtual) based on precise transducer position and velocity data. The Advanced Micro Controls AMCI 8213  significantly enhances system performance by offloading limit switch calculations from the main processor, with physical outputs updating every 100-300µsec for high-speed applications. Its compact design and flexible architecture make it ideal for demanding packaging and assembly machinery.

Featuring opto-isolated physical inputs and solid-state relay outputs, the AMCI 8213 PLCs Control supports both AC and DC loads through DIN rail-mounted external boards. The module's 16 physical outputs deliver rapid response times via fused plug-in relays, while 16 virtual outputs communicate exclusively through the ControlLogix backplane at RPI-synchronized intervals. This dual I/O approach allows the AMCI 8213 to optimize processor efficiency, with optional interrupt generation for virtual output state changes. The module's robust design ensures reliable operation in industrial environments.

The Programmable Limit Switch Module AMCI 8213 offers two primary operating modes - Independent Mode for discrete output control and Group Mode that combines outputs into six configurable groups. With six specialized Operating Modes tailored for high-speed applications, the8213 ControlLogix PLS Module provides sophisticated control algorithms for complex motion sequences. Engineers can program the module to enable/disable outputs based on discrete inputs and machine speed parameters, making it adaptable to various automation scenarios.

By decentralizing limit switch processing, the AMCI 8213 PDF dramatically reduces ControlLogix processor load, enabling faster scan times and improved system responsiveness. The module's virtual I/O capability allows for efficient data handling through ladder logic programming while maintaining physical world connectivity via ControlLogix I/O modules. As a high-performance solution, the AMCI 8213 delivers precision motion control for applications requiring microsecond-level response accuracy and sophisticated output sequencing.
