The VersaMax Micro series is GE’s compact PLC range aimed at small‑scale machine control, with integrated CPU, I/O and options for expansion up to about 84 points. It offers a budget‑friendly path with features like high‑speed counters, PID instructions and built‑in serial ports. That said, its programming environment is dated and memory is limited. It’s fine for straightforward tasks, but if you anticipate growth or need Ethernet or advanced motion, consider stepping up to the VersaMax modular family or a more modern micro‑PLC from other vendors.
