Performance control for every motor

Control Techniques’ unique motor control algorithms

combined with the latest microprocessor technology ensure
that Unidrive M drives offer the highest stability and bandwidth

for all industrial motor types. This enables maximum machine

throughput in every application and with every motor, from

standard AC induction motors to dynamic linear motors

and from energy saving permanent magnet motors to high
performance servo motors.

• High bandwidth motor control algorithm for open and
closed loop induction and PM servo motors with up to
3,000 Hz current loop bandwidth and 250 Hz speed loop
bandwidth

Matched servo motors for maximum
performance

Emerson offers two ranges of AC brushless servo motors to

match diverse application needs.

Unimotor fm

Flexible performance AC brushless servo motor

0.72 Nm -136 Nm (408 Nm peak) | 6.37 lb-in - 1,203 lb-in

(3,611 lb-in peak)

Unimotor hd

Compact servo motor for demanding applications

0.72 Nm - 85.0 Nm (255 Nm peak) | 6.37 lb-in - 752 lb-in
(2,256 lb-in peak)

Unimotor hd is a high dynamic servo motor range, designed

for maximum torque density. This AC brushless servo motor

range provides an exceptionally compact, low inertia solution
for applications where rapid acceleration and deceleration is

required.

Electronic nameplates

• All Unimotor servo motors with communication

based encoders come with electronic nameplate data
preloaded. Unidrive M uses this data directly for faster and
more accurate motor matching and commissioning.

Unimotor fm is a exible performance AC brushless servo
motor range optimized for use with Unidrive M. The motors

are available in six frame sizes with various mounting
arrangements, motor lengths and a wide range of feedback
options.

Matched drives and motors maximize
performance and energy efficiency

Unidrive M is designed to enhance the energy efciency of
all applications:

• Low power standby mode. In some applications, drives

can sit idle for signicant periods; Unidrive M’s reduced

standby power saves energy

• Easy common DC bus conguration enables braking
energy to be recycled within the drive system,
reducing energy usage and eliminating external supply
components

Motor control options available include:

Control Mode Features

• Unidrive M supports sensorless (open loop) control of

compact high efciency permanent magnet motors

• Active Front End for regenerative AC drive systems

MCi210 and SI-Applications Plus

Second processor for PLC programs and

Save costs and streamline machine design

multi-axis control

MCi modules add a powerful processor to Unidrive M700
which can execute comprehensive application programs to

extend system and machine control capability. As a result of the
highly exible plug-in option module format, system design is

streamlined by removing the need for PLCs and other external
components. Programs are fast and easy to develop thanks to
the user-friendly Machine Control Studio software which uses

industry standard IEC 61131-3 programming languages to
build highly exible and productive systems. MCi programs can
access and manage Unidrive M’s embedded Advanced Motion

Controller across a wide range of networks to provide perfectly
synchronized multi-axis machine performance and throughput.

• MCi modules can eliminate the need for external PLCs and
motion controllers

• Plug-in option modules powered from the drive’s internal
power supply mean less wiring and less physical space is

required

• 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)
