GE Intelligent Platforms MicroMotion

GE Intelligent Platforms MicroMotion

For your motion needs, the VersaMax Micro Plus has built in motion solutions and MicroMotion expansion modules. The incredibly flexible Micro Plus offers motion capabilities for applications with fewer than 4 axes, and are easy to use because they are part of the integrated controller package.

The VersaMax Micro Plus supports four independent 65Khz Pulse Train outputs and can easily be adapted to GE Intelligent Platforms line of PowerCube stepper amplifiers and motors or VersaMotion* servos and amplifiers. The Micro Plus High Speed Counter supports four independent 100Khz type A counters or one type B counter for precise positioning. The two-axis Micro Motion expansion module is ideal for either Micro integrated motion control or standalone motion control over serial or Ethernet networking. Loaded with features, it supports a wide range of stepper and servo control. The module supports a powerful function set, with up to 256 move profiles stored on the module. Micro Motion module also supports the Portable Memory device (removable Flash device) for easy program storage of the motion moves. The MicroMotion expansion module provides two channels of high-speed servo control. The module provides two independent 1 to 500Khz pulse and direction out and supports integrated inputs and outputs. The MicroMotion module stores up to 256 motion steps that can easily be controlled by the Micro Plus controllers.
