VersaMaxTM Micro
Scalable Micro PLCs
T
oday’s manufacturing environment faces the
critical need for shorter production runs, quicker
changeovers, and just-in-time manufacturing.
Machines are no longer dedicated to a single
product and long production runs. VersaMax
Micro helps you address this challenge as a
scalable solution with precise and powerful
control in a compact design. With the flexibility
to enhance machine performance, availability,
and profitability, the modular VersaMax Micro
offers the features to match your application
needs.
Application Flexibility and Scalability
VersaMax Micro PLCs provide the scalability and flexibility
to cover a broad range of applications. For applications that
require more I/O, up to four modules can be used to expand
the series of controllers. For smaller machines, units can be
used as a standalone controller with integrated I/O functions.
With I/O expansion modules and support of a portable
program FLASH memory module, the VersaMax Micro PLCs
provide the flexibility to configure a solution to your exact
requirements and budget.
Big Features in a Compact Package
The small footprint VersaMax Micro PLC offers the flexibility
of modular design and a variety of built-in features, including
up to 64 I/O points (expandable to 176 I/O points), fast cycle
times, a robust instruction set and extensive memory that
multiplies your programming options.
A Variety of Communications Options
All units have a RS-232 port that can be used for SNP slave,
Modbus RTU or serial I/O commands, and select units have
an RS-485 port that adds SNP master and Modbus master
commands. The Micro 20, Micro 40 and Micro 64 also have a
second option port that supports either RS-232, RS-485 or USB
communications module. The VersaMax Micro PLCs are easily
networked to Ethernet with the powerful VersaMax SE (Serial
to Ethernet module).

Performance to Improve Productivity
The VersaMax Micro family is designed to provide the
power and performance of customized solutions with the
convenience and economy of off-the-shelf technology.
VersaMax Micro PLCs have two channels of high-speed
control, two independent 65kHz pulse and direction outputs,
and user configurable inputs and outputs to effectively
increase machine performance. With VersaMax Micro PLCs
you can reduce costs and save time on machine configurations
without compromising the ability to customize the features
that are right for your application.
Simplified Programming for PLCs
With PAC Machine Edition software, programming your
VersaMax Micro PLCs is an intuitive process. Mix Relay Ladder
Diagram and Instruction List programming within an
application. Develop and save custom view tables. View PLC
and I/O system fault tables on demand. PAC Machine Edition
deploys HMI, motion, and multi-target control in an integrated
development environment. This provides a common user
interface, drag-and-drop editing, and a rich set of development
tools. The Micro 20, Micro 40 and Micro 64 support a portable
program FLASH Memory Module that provides a simple cost
effective way of upgrading eld controllers.
