The Perfect Match for Today’s

Open Systems

VersaMax gives you the freedom to connect to a wide variety

of host controllers, including PLC, DCS and PC-based control

systems by way of PROFINET (remote I/O only), Modbus/TCP,

and other Ethernet networks as well as Genius, DeviceNet,

Profibus-DP. VersaMax also fully supports the power and open

architecture of Emerson’s PC Control solutions.

The Ultimate in Cost-effective

Control and I/O

With intuitive diagnostics, hot insertion of modules and quick

connect wiring, VersaMax extends uptime, reduces engi

neering and training needs, and dramatically reduces project

lifecycle costs.

A Design that Maximizes Ease of Use

Every aspect of VersaMax has been carefully refined to

accommodate the user. Snaptogether I/O carriers mean that

no tools are required for module installation or extraction.

A convenient rotary switch can be used for setting bus

addresses, reducing programming time. With VersaMax,

you can even address I/O automatically.

An Abundance of Useful I/O Options

Emerson offers a broad range of discrete, analog, mixed, and

specialty I/O modules. These modules can be freely combined

to create stand-alone I/O stations with up to 256 I/O points

and expanded I/O systems with up to 2048 I/O points.

Offering Big PLC Power

in a Small Package

VersaMax Modular CPUs supply a number of features usually

found only in PLCs with larger footprints, including up to

128kB of memory for application programs, floating point

math, real-time clock, subroutines, PID control, flash memory,

and bumpless program store. The serial ports support serial

read/write and Modbus master/slave communications.

Maximum versatility is the guiding principle

behind VersaMax from Emerson. This compact,

extremely affordable, control solution can be

used as a compact PLC, distributed I/O, or

distributed control. With its modular and

scalable architecture,  intuitive features and ease

of use, this innovative control family can save

machine builders and end users considerable

time and money.

Anytime, Anywhere:

A Range of Applications

The RXi – Panel PC portfolio has offerings which effectively

operate in temperatures as high as 65°C and as low as -20°C

with the capability to operate indoors or outdoors. The

RXi – Panel PC portfolio meets the rigorous IP66 certification

which protects against dust, moisture, and even direct water

jets. The RXi – Panel PC provides you with a solution that is

designed to go where you need it to.

Designed to Maximize UX

The RXi – Panel PC takes industrial displays into today’s

connected world by combining design, durability, and power in

an ultra-slim package perfect for the factory floor. A sleek and

powerful user experience (UX) connects people and machines

with the latest touchscreen technology and widescreen

displays. The capacitive, multitouch screens can be used with

personal protective equipment and are as sensitive as the latest

smartphone. Furthermore, the outdoor rated Sunlight Readable

(SLR) screens provide brightness ratings nearly double that

of the brightest smart devices. The optically bonded screens

feature UV protection which vastly reduces reflections and

glare. The wide screen display provides operators with vivid,

clear images for a more complete and enhanced process

visualization.

Modularity and Flexibility

The RXi – Panel PC portfolio ranges from 7” to 24” screens in a

widescreen format, with 7” to 15” models also available with

outdoor Sunlight Readable (SLR) screens. The modular nature of

the unit offers a substantial amount of flexibility in configuring

your RXi – Panel PC. For instance, you can easily swap an indoor

screen for an outdoor screen, change screen sizes, or simply

replace a damaged screen, while utilizing the same computing unit.

High Performance

With Windows 10 IOT Enterprise LTSC OS installed standard,

the RXi – Panel PC is ready to meet your software needs.

Available options include a Dual Core 1.0 GHz processor, a Quad

Core 1.2GHz processor, and a 2GHz processor. Users can also

select between 4. 8. or 16GB of available RAM. The multitouch,

projective capacitive screens use high resolution, vivid graphical

capabilities and quick response times ensuring that relevant

information is readily available to make quicker and smarter

decisions. The RXi – Panel PC creates a high-performance

modular platform that lowers total cost of ownership and allows

for powerful upgrades to the underlying computing technology

in the future.

This architecture ensures that relevant information is readily  available to operators,

so they can make the best decisions in real time.

Highlighting this reimagined architecture, Emerson has gone back to the drawing

board to create the “Definitive Industrial Display Experience.”

The result is the RXi – Panel PC modular display portfolio with multiple options of separable

screens and computing units that maximize flexibility,  performance, and durability.

To succeed in an outcome-driven world, businesses must operate faster and leaner,

while being increasingly connected with both local and global data.

At Emerson, we’ve  reimagined automation architecture to help you thrive in

today’s demanding business environment.

Summary

The EIOC supports communications with Ethernet Devices

using Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, IEC61850 MMS, OPC UA client

and Ethernet/IP Control Tag Integration protocols. The EIOC

supports a huge capacity of data for monitoring or control.

The Capacity, polling and switchover times vary based on

protocol, device type, and loading. Refer to the DeltaV System

Planning Guide for more information.

The EIOC capacity lends itself to very large integration projects

with limited control needs. For applications that require

batch or sequence control (class-based units, PLMs, SFCs,

and Equipment Modules are not supported in the EIOC)

or more complex control that requires other functionality

such as traditional, bus, or Electronic Marshalling IO, then a

PK controller or a VIM2 card combined with a DeltaV controller

could be a better solution. Please consult your local Emerson

office for more details.

EIOC Licensing

Licensing for the EIOC is easy and scalable. Just buy the

hardware assembly for the EIOC, simplex or redundant.

No additional license is required for redundancy. Then decide

which protocol you need (one per EIOC is permitted),

and pick the appropriate license. Next, determine how many

Ethernet Devices you need to connect, and pick the license

containing the required number. Once the EIOC is configured

one DST license will be consumed per LDT, with the type being

determined based on the highest value configured in the LDT

(except for the EtherNet/IP Control Tag Integration Protocol).

For the EtherNet/IP Control Tag Integration protocol,

one DST license is consumed per Control Tag. The DST license is

consumed based on the type of Control Tag that is configured.

PRP does not require a license, as it is included as part of the

EIOC functionality.
