Easy Troubleshooting and

Machine Setup

Using integrated PAC Machine Edition (PME) software, you can

easily configure VersaMax I/O. PME is the same software as all

PACSystems CPUs so you only need a single tool from small to

large applications. This approach utilizes the same hardware

configuration, network configuration, and programming

editors. HMI development is also streamlined with a single tag

database for QuickPanel+ HMIs.

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.

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.

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.
