New VersaMax Micro 64 Ethernet Module

Summary The new Ethernet module (IC200UEM001) enables the Micro 64 to be easily connected to an Ethernet LAN. The module plugs into the optional communications port on the Micro 64 and supports SRTP, Modbus TCP (server) and Tunneling (pass through). The Micro 64 Ethernet module is easy to use and supported using the Proficy Machine Edition Logic Developer.

Product Overview
Performance: The Ethernet module supported 10/100 Mbaud, RJ 45 10Base-T/100Base-TX. Up to 4 connections are supported by the module with SRTP (8 for Modbus TCP, 1 for Tunneling).

Compatibility:
The Ethernet module is supported by the Micro 64 only.

Flexibility:
Ethernet module is ideal for connecting to Proficy ME, Quick Panels, SCADA and other Ethernet enabled devices.

Product Positioning
The Micro 64 with Ethernet is positioned for low-end applications that require less than 176 I/O and 48Kbytes of program storage.

Typical Applications

Packaging and Assembly applications

• Applications requiring:
• Simple Ethernet communications
• High performance economical Stepper motion
• High speed counting to improved productivity
• Multiple communications options

SCADA and RTU applications

• Applications requiring:
• Ethernet SCADA connection using Modbus TCP
• Long term data storage without the need of a battery
• Large amounts of data storage and data collection
• Flexible communications need

Additional application that require

• Ethernet LAN connection
• Portable memory device for downloading programs without a PC
• Tightly integrated system requiring operator interface, motion and control
• Wide range of I/O offering to solve discrete and process control typical applications
• Applications that require low-end motion, such as packaging and assembly are well suited for the Micro 64.

Customer CTQs

• Quality construction at a low cost per point
• Flexible communication options
• High performance motion in a micro
• Reliability
