GE Intelligent Platforms VersaMotion

The VersaMotion family of servo amplifiers offers a cost effective solution for a broad range of motion applications. These versatile amplifiers support simple stand-alone positioning capability using up to 8 stored motion profiles or can be connected to any motion controller using an analog or pulse command interface. A built-in touchpad and display provides convenient access to configuration parameters and system information. The serial interface supports multi-drop system configurations and Modbus communication protocol. Amplifier setup can be accomplished using the VersaMotion software included with Proficy Machine Edition or using the convenient front panel keypad.

The VersaMotion family of servo amplifiers, ranging in power rating from 100 W to 3 kW and a continuous torque range from 0.3 Nm to 19.1 Nm (2.7 to 169 in-lb), offers a cost effective solution for a broad range of motion applications. The VersaMotion amplifiers have many user options that can be configured using the VersaMotion software tool included in the Proficy Logic Developer software.
