Lower cost per unit: 15% at a minimum

Reduced de-trashing, less waste: 24 less individual boxes, 48 less data sheets

Less inventory space - 24 pack is approximately 20% less space than equivalent 24 individual boxes

Reduced labor with less packaging

Less Packaging

In the new OEM Productivity Value Pack, 24 VersaMax Micro and Nano units are stored in one box with a single datasheet and with protective dividers between each unit.

You can simply clip all VersaMax Nano and Micro PLCs and Expansion Units on a DIN rail or bolt mount on a panel. It's easy to program the units with GE Fanuc's VersaPro or CIMPLICITY  Machine Edition Logic Developer software. The VersaMax Nano and VersaMax Micro PLCs are equipped with a SH2 32 Bit RISC Processor and have 2K words of user memory for the Nano and generous 9K words of user memory for the Micro.  The variety of low-cost configurations and networking capability make them ideal for decentralized control applications. A modem capability enables control, data collection and troubleshooting to be carried out from a remote location.  Communication support includes Modbus Slave and an optional Ethernet connection.  

New Modules

GE Fanuc has also expanded the VersaMax Micro and Nano PLC family with new modules that are now available. This line of compact controllers includes a new VersaMax Nano with analog and new high density discrete I/O and analog I/O for the VersaMax Micro expansion units. These new models can lower costs, decrease footprint and ease integration. 

The new GE Fanuc palm-sized VersaMax Nano offers a 0-10V DC analog input with 8-bit resolution, 6 digital inputs and 4 relay outputs. There is a choice of 12V DC or 24V DC power supply. The addition of the analog input extends the range of applications to those that require temperature, pressure or position measurement. The new PLC is unchanged in size from other Nano variants and is ideal for high-volume applications where cost, space, and speed are all  important. The VersaMax Nano supports PID, floating point math and subroutines.

The VersaMax Micro is available as a standard package with 14, 23 or 28 I/O providing simple links to the new I/O expansion units. The Micro Analog Expansion Unit offers four analog input and two analog output channels with a choice of 12V DC, 24V DC or 120/230V AC power supplies. One VersaMax Micro can be expanded with up to four Expansion Units or up to 18 analog inputs and nine analog outputs.

The new VersaMax Micro 28-point Expansion Units double the current expansion I/O capacity and enable the PLC to increase its supported I/O from 84 I/O to 140 I/O. They are available in a wide range of input and output voltages and are available with 12V DC, 24V DC or 120/230V AC power supplies. There are eight new models handling up to 16 digital inputs, and up to 12 relay or transistor outputs. Compared to using two of the earlier 14 I/O Expansion Units, one new 28-point expansion unit uses 20% less panel space and offers significant cost savings.
