Unidrive M – the drive for industrial
applications

Unidrive M is a family of six variable speed drives designed for
industrial applications. Each Unidrive M model has been designed

for specic application needs identied through extensive market

research. Unidrive M is evolving the future of industry with the
latest drive technology which includes 21 patents granted and 42
patents pending.

Integrate, automate and communicate with
Unidrive M options

Unidrive M supports a wide range of option modules and
interface units which allow the drive to integrate seamlessly with

existing systems. Options include feedback, communications,
applications (onboard PLCs), I/O and enhanced safety features.

Unidrive M uses a high speed parallel bus between the drive and

SI modules, improving reaction time. Communications interfaces
are independently certied for conformance with the relevant

standards to ensure performance and interoperability.

MCi200/MCi210 options substantially extend Unidrive M’s

machine control capability using the latest generation of

microprocessor technology. These modules are congured using
the industry standard IEC61131-3 programing environment.

Combined with its onboard performance, this makes Unidrive M
the market-leading industrial drive.

MACHINE CONTROL

Machine Control Modules

Unidrive M’s MCi200 and MCi210 modules extend machine

control capability when combined with the Advanced Motion

Controller embedded in Unidrive M700. Enabling easy

connectivity of additional machine components and application

software, MCi200 and MCi210 create a complete application
solution. As a result of the highly exible plug-in option module
format, system design is streamlined by removing the need

for PLCs and additional external equipment. Machine control

is fast and easy to achieve thanks to Unidrive M’s user friendly
programming software - Machine Control Studio - utilizing the
industry-standard open IEC 61131-3 programming environment.

The MCi200 and MCi210 machine control modules provide:

High performance machine control – high speed

communications of 250 µs enables optimum performance.

High bandwidth – control multiple drive and motor axes thanks

to MCi210’s second Ethernet port.

Optimum ease of use – rapidly create machine control

programs with Unidrive M’s programming software, developed

with extensive human centred design research and based on the

industry-standard IEC 61131-3 programming environment.

Open environment – Standard IEEE 1588 Ethernet and IEC

61131 software enable open machine control programming,

boosting the choice of component connectivity.

Streamlined machine design – plug-in option module format

means less wiring, less physical space required and less nancial
cost, while increasing design simplicity.

User programming

The MCi200 and MCi210 modules are capable of running

Machine Control Studio programs. It is an integrated
development environment that supports all ve of the
programming languages of the IEC 61131-3 standard, including
Structured Text (ST), Ladder Diagram (LD), Function Block
Diagram (FBD), Sequential Function Chart (SFC) and Instruction
List (IL). Continuous Function Chart (CFC) is also supported.

Optimum connectivity

Simple integration with external components such as I/O, HMIs
and other networked drives can be achieved using Unidrive M’s
integrated standard Ethernet ports (with RTMoE or standard
protocols), or eldbuses supported by SI option modules (EtherCAT,
PROFINET, PROFIBUS, CANopen).

MCi200 & MCi210

Build high performance systems and
productive machines

• MCi modules execute comprehensive programs that can

control multiple drives and motors simultaneously across real­time networks

• M700’s onboard Ethernet using RTMoE (Real Time Motion
over Ethernet) provides synchronization and communication

between drives using the Precision Time Protocol as dened by
IEEE1588 V2

• Performance is optimized by having a motion controller

embedded in each networked drive

The Clock and Position tasks are cyclic and will run at an interval set by the user. The Freewheeling task is the lowest priority task and will

run when processor resource allows.

MCi210 ensures higher performance by delivering:

• Two additional Ethernet ports with an internal switch

• Support for standard Ethernet protocols, along with RTMoE for

PTP (IEEE 1588) synchronization

• Modbus TCP/IP master (up to 5 nodes)

• Parallel interface with drive processor provides faster data
exchange

• Machine control over two segregated Ethernet networks

enables greater exibility in machine design

• Extends connectivity with 3 x digital inputs, 1 x digital output
and 1 x digital I/O
