Ethernet is the modern communication protocol typically used in most modern installation due to its user-friendliness and maintainability. DeviceNet is Device level communication protocol allowing controllers to directly interact with field devices. Profibus also relies on RS485 communication standard, allowing I/O station to installed up to 1km away from the controller.
Genius bus is a serial based that is used by earlier GE Programmable Controllers. This controller family also supports implementation of Distributed I/O architecture, allowing I/O interface installed remotely, near the signal source and actuating elements.ĭistributed I.O architecture may be implemented utilizing a variety of protocols such as Genius, DeviceNet, Profibus and Ethernet communication. This controller features a modular hardware that supports a variety of Input and output modules, specialty and communication interface modules. The VersaMax family of controllers are advanced controllers, capable of being used in medium to large scale applications.
The VersaMax series of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) is manufactured by GE Fanuc.
