Plug in Motion and Machine Controllers
Expand the capabilities of this powerful drive series with plug-in option modules. Choose from:
- MCi200 Machine Controller programmed with Machine Control Studio IEC61131 software
- MCi210 Machine Controller with additional high speed I/O and Ethernet ports
- PTi210 Motion Made Easy controller programmed with PowerTools Studio software
Flexible universal encoder port
Increase flexibility and reduce system costs through simultaneously connecting up to three* high performance encoder channels as
standard. As an example, the drive can interface with a feedback encoder, reference encoder and provide a simulated encoder output without the need for additional option modules.
- Two universal encoder input channels
— Support for standard incremental and SinCos encoders, including those with absolute commutation signals
— Support for communications based encoders with up to 4 Mb rate and line compensation to support long cable lengths of up to 100 m (support includes, EnDat 2.2, HIPERFACE and SSI)
— Support for Resolver for feedback in harsh environments - One simulated encoder output
— Position reference for CAMs, digital lock and electronic gearbox applications
— Implemented through hardware to maximize performance
Feedback
The built-in, ultra-flexible speed and position feedback interface supports a wide range of feedback technologies from robust resolvers to high resolution encoders, including SinCos, EnDat, SSI, HIPERFACE and BiSS.
Sensorless
Unidrive supports sensorless control of induction, permanent-magnet, and hybrid PM motors, reducing system cost and improving robustness.
High performance and high power
With Unidrive there is no compromise between power and control performance. Unidrive supports high output switching frequencies throughout the power range, making it the drive of choice when your application demands uncompromised high performance control at high powers.
Control
High bandwidth motor control supporting switching frequencies up to 16 kHz, for open and closed loop induction, servo and hybrid PM motors, giving up to 3,000 Hz current loop bandwidth and 250 Hz speed loop bandwidth. Unidrive, with its high speed variants, is suitable for applications where output frequencies above 600 Hz are needed, such as spindles and centrifuges.
Universally applicable
Having one universal drive in control of multiple parts of the application radically simplifies machine design. Your engineering team only have one product to learn, allowing them to spend more time on other tasks. It also means a single, universal replacement for any maintenance, repair or operational need.
On-board PLC
All Unidrive M series drives incorporate an easy to use, onboard PLC which can execute programs for logic and IEC 61131-3 motion and sequencing with real-time tasks.
Advanced Motor Controller
The Unidrive M700 series integrates a 1.5 axes Advanced Motion Controller, allowing motion functions to be synchronously carried out on the drive at 250 μs cycle time, minimising system latencies and maximising performance. By implementing motion control on the drive, the system design can be liberated from being tied to specific PLC vendors, at the same time reducing the computational load on the external PLC or even replacing it altogether.
Typical applications:
- Speed and position control for gearing and ratio control, winding (coilers), web handling, metal cutting, flying shear, rotary knife, test stands, printing, packaging machines, textiles, woodworking, tire manufacturing
