New VersaMax Micro Controller with ESCP
Lower installation cost and reduced downtime
http://www.gefanuc.com/products/controll...

The new UDD120 VersaMax Micro is ideal for applications requiring ESCP

The new UDD120 VersaMax Micro is ideal for applications requiring ESCP (Electronic Short Circuit Protection) outputs. The ESCP technology provides protection when an output is shorted.

 The ESCP reacts more quickly than a conventional fuse to detect shorts, and it will self-heal when the short is removed. The result is reduced installation cost and reduced downtime because no external fusing is required for the outputs.

The UDD120 micro CPU has sixteen 24VDC inputs and twelve 24VDC ESCP outputs and can be expanded with up to 84 I/O points. A 14-point expansion unit with ESCP is also available and can be used with any VersaMax Micro CPU.  

In addition to the ESCP outputs, the UDD120 has faster processing, up to 40% faster, than other VersaMax Micro’s. The VersaMax Micro powerful instruction set includes Floating Point Math, PID, Subroutines, Serial Read and Write and much more.

Application Benefits

  • The wide range of communications options make the VersaMax Micro PLCs ideal for SCADA, Modem, Pager, Bar Code Readers, and other ASCII serial devices.

  • The rugged construction, electrical and vibration standards designed into the product make it suitable for difficult applications.

  • Programming, troubleshooting and monitoring can be accomplished over modems, multi-drop RS-485 or over Ethernet (Optional VersaMax SE Ethernet interface).

  • The VersaMax Micro is ideal for applications such as packaging, assembly, and testing.

  • Controlling your process is easy with the VersaMax Micro, using the powerful instruction set that includes PID, Floating Point Math and Subroutines.

  • Choose from a wide variety of expansion units to maximize your application.

  • Panel layout is easy using the VersaMax Micro I/O expansion units. Connection cables come in 0.1, 0.5 and 1 meter, and the total length from PLC to last expansion unit is 2 meters.

  • GE Fanuc also offers a full line of operator interfaces.
