Introduction

Guide to the VersaMax

Overview of product series

VersaMax series products provide products that span PLC and

PC-based architecture. VersaMax is designed for industrial and commercial automation.

I/O provides a universal and flexible I/O structure for local and remote control applications.

VersaMax PLC supplies power to big-PLC through a series of I/O and optional modules.

VersaMax I/O station with network interface module can be added.

Flexibility of VersaMax I/O to other types of networks. VersaMax meets UL, CUL, CE,

Level 1, Zone 2 and Level 1, Zone 2 requirements.

As an extensible automation solution, VersaMax I/O combines compactness and modularity.

To make it easier to use. VersaMax I/O with 70 mm depth and small size support.

Simple and convenient installation and space saving benefits. The module can accommodate

To 32 I/O points.

The compact and modular VersaMax products are installed with DIN guide rails, and up to 8 I/Os can be installed.

Up to 8 racks per rack and optional module per VersaMax PLC or Versamax I/O.

Station system. The expansion rack can be installed at the farthest distance of 750 meters from the VersaMax main chassis.

PLC or VersaMax I/O stand. The expansion rack can include any VersaMax I/O,

Options or communication modules.

VersaMax provides automatic addressing that can eliminate traditional configuration and the need for hand-held devices. Multiple field wiring termination options provide support for two, three, and four-wire devices. For faster equipment repair and shorter Mean-Time-To-Repair, the hot insertion feature enables addition and replacement of I/O modules while a machine or process is running and without affecting field wiring. VersaMax I/O may be remotely located. Remote I/O interfaces for Genius, DeviceNet, Profibus, and Ethernet are available.

CPU Modulesfor VersaMax PLCs

AVersaMax PLC consists of a group of VersaMax modules with a VersaMax CPU and attached power supply in the first position.

All VersaMax CPUs provide powerful PLC functionality. They are designed to serve as the system controller for up to 64 modules with up to 2048 I/O points. Two serial ports provide RS-232 and RS-485 interfaces for SNP slave and RTU slave communications. CPUmodel IC200CPUE05 provides a built-in Ethernet port.
