1.3 The VersaMax
TM
Family of Products
The VersaMax family of products provides universally distributed I/O that
spans PLC and PC-based architectures. Designed for industrial and
commercial automation, VersaMax I/O provides a common, flexible I/O
structure for local and remote-control applications. The VersaMax PLC
combines big-PLC power with a full range of I/O and option modules.
VersaMax I/O Stations with Network Interface Modules make it possible
to add the flexibility of VersaMax I/O to other types of networks.
VersaMax meets UL, CUL, CE, Class1 Zone 2, and Class I Division 2
requirements.
As a scalable automation solution, VersaMax I/O combines compactness
and modularity for greater ease of use. The 70-mm depth and small
footprint of VersaMax I/O enable easy, convenient mounting as well as
space-saving benefits. Modules can accommodate up to 32 points of I/O
each.
The compact, modular VersaMax products feature DIN-rail mounting
with up to eight I/O and option modules per “rack” and up to 8 racks per
VersaMax PLC or VersaMax I/O Station system. Expansion racks can be
located up to 750 meters from the main VersaMax PLC or VersaMax I/O
Station rack. Expansion racks can include any VersaMax I/O, option, or
communications module.
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 the addition and replacement of I/O modules
while a machine or process is running and without affecting field wiring.
