1Safety information
WARNING
CAUT ION
NOTE
1.1 Warnings, Cautions and Notes
A Warning contains information which is essential for avoiding a safety hazard.
A Caution contains information which is necessary for avoiding a risk of damage to the
product or other equipment.
A Note contains information, which helps to ensure correct operation of the product.
1.2Important safety information. Hazards. Competence of
designers and installers
This guide applies to products which control electric motors either directly (drives) or indirectly
(controllers, option modules and other auxiliary equipment and accessories). In all cases the hazards
associated with powerful electrical drives are present, and all safety information relating to drives and
associated equipment must be observed.
Specific warnings are given at the relevant places in this guide.
Drives and controllers are intended as components for professional incorporation into complete
systems. If installed incorrectly they may present a safety hazard. The drive uses high voltages and
currents, carries a high level of stored electrical energy, and is used to control equipment which can
cause injury. Close attention is required to the electrical installation and the system design to avoid
hazards either in normal operation or in the event of equipment malfunction. System design,
installation, commissioning/start-up and maintenance must be carried out by personnel who have the
necessary training and competence. They must read this safety information and this guide carefully.
1.3Responsibility
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the equipment is installed correctly with regard to
all instructions given in this guide. They must give due consideration to the safety of the complete
system, so as to avoid the risk of injury both in normal operation and in the event of a fault or of
reasonably foreseeable misuse.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any consequences resulting from inappropriate, negligent or
incorrect installation of the equipment.
1.4Compliance with regulations
The installer is responsible for complying with all relevant regulations, such as national wiring
regulations, accident prevention regulations and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations.
Particular attention must be given to the cross-sectional areas of conductors, the selection of fuses
or other protection, and protective ground (earth) connections.
This guide contains instructions for achieving compliance with specific EMC standards.
All machinery to be supplied within the European Union in which this product is used must comply
with the following directives:
2006/42/EC Safety of machinery.
2014/30/EU: Electromagnetic Compatibility.
Unidrive M400 Control Quick Start Guide5
Issue Number: 4
1.5Electrical hazards
The voltages used in the drive can cause severe electrical shock and/or burns, and could be lethal.
Extreme care is necessary at all times when working with or adjacent to the drive. Hazardous voltage
may be present in any of the following locations:
•AC and DC supply cables and connections
•Output cables and connections
•Many internal parts of the drive, and external option units
Unless otherwise indicated, control terminals are single insulated and must not be touched.
The supply must be disconnected by an approved electrical isolation device before gaining access to
the electrical connections.
The STOP and Safe Torque Off functions of the drive do not isolate dangerous voltages from the
output of the drive or from any external option unit.
The drive must be installed in accordance with the instructions given in this guide. Failure to observe
the instructions could result in a fire hazard.
1.6Stored electrical charge
The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal voltage after the AC supply
has been disconnected. If the drive has been energized, the AC supply must be isolated at least ten
minutes before work may continue.
1.7Mechanical hazards
Careful consideration must be given to the functions of the drive or controller which might result in a
hazard, either through their intended behaviour or through incorrect operation due to a fault. In any
application where a malfunction of the drive or its control system could lead to or allow damage, loss
or injury, a risk analysis must be carried out, and where necessary, further measures taken to reduce
the risk - for example, an over-speed protection device in case of failure of the speed control, or a
fail-safe mechanical brake in case of loss of motor braking.
With the sole exception of the Safe Torque Off function, none of the drive functions must be
used to ensure safety of personnel, i.e. they must not be used for safety-related functions.
The Safe Torque Off function may be used in a safety-related application. The system designer is
responsible for ensuring that the complete system is safe and designed correctly according to the
relevant safety standards.
The design of safety-related control systems must only be done by personnel with the required
training and experience. The Safe Torque Off function will only ensure the safety of a machine if it is
correctly incorporated into a complete safety system. The system must be subject to a risk
assessment to confirm that the residual risk of an unsafe event is at an acceptable level for the
application.
1.8Access to equipment
Access must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Safety regulations which apply at the place
of use must be complied with.
1.9Environmental limits
Instructions in this guide regarding transport, storage, installation and use of the equipment must be
complied with, including the specified environmental limits. This includes temperature, humidity,
contamination, shock and vibration. Drives must not be subjected to excessive physical force.
6Unidrive M400 Control Quick Start Guide
Issue Number: 4
1.10Hazardous environments
The equipment must not be installed in a hazardous environment (i.e. a potentially explosive
environment).
1.11Motor
The safety of the motor under variable speed conditions must be ensured.
To avoid the risk of physical injury, do not exceed the maximum specified speed of the motor.
Low speeds may cause the motor to overheat because the cooling fan becomes less effective,
causing a fire hazard. The motor should be installed with a protection thermistor. If necessary, an
electric forced vent fan should be used.
The values of the motor parameters set in the drive affect the protection of the motor. The default
values in the drive must not be relied upon. It is essential that the correct value is entered in the
Motor Rated Current parameter.
1.12Mechanical brake control
Any brake control functions are provided to allow well co-ordinated operation of an external brake
with the drive. While both hardware and software are designed to high standards of quality and
robustness, they are not intended for use as safety functions, i.e. where a fault or failure would result
in a risk of injury. In any application where the incorrect operation of the brake release mechanism
could result in injury, independent protection devices of proven integrity must also be incorporated.
1.13Adjusting parameters
Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the drive. They must not be altered
without careful consideration of the impact on the controlled system. Measures must be taken to
prevent unwanted changes due to error or tampering.
1.14Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Installation instructions for a range of EMC environments are provided in the relevant Power
Installation Guide. If the installation is poorly designed or other equipment does not comply with
suitable standards for EMC, the product might cause or suffer from disturbance due to
electromagnetic interaction with other equipment. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that
the equipment or system into which the product is incorporated complies with the relevant EMC
legislation in the place of use.

2Introduction
M400 minimizes machine downtime with its optional intuitive advanced LCD Keypad that offers realtext multi-language display for rapid set-up and superior diagnostics. Its onboard PLC with real-time
tasking can be used for simple logic control using Machine Control Studio programming software
(powered by CODESYS) to enhance drive application capability.
2.1 Operating modes
The drive is designed to operate in any of the following modes:
1. Open loop mode
Open loop vector mode
Fixed V/F mode (V/Hz)
Square V/F mode (V/Hz)
2. RFC - A
Without position feedback sensor
2.1.1Open loop mode
The drive applies power to the motor at frequencies varied by the user. The motor speed is a result of
the output frequency of the drive and slip due to the mechanical load. The drive can improve the
speed control of the motor by applying slip compensation. The performance at low speed depends
on whether V/F mode or open loop vector mode is selected.
Open loop vector mode
The voltage applied to the motor is directly proportional to the frequency except at low speed where
the drive uses motor parameters to apply the correct voltage to keep the flux constant under varying
load conditions.
Typically 100 % torque is available down to 1 Hz for a 50 Hz motor.
Fixed V/F mode
The voltage applied to the motor is directly proportional to the frequency except at low speed where a
voltage boost is provided which is set by the user. This mode can be used for multi-motor
applications.
Typically 100 % torque is available down to 4 Hz for a 50 Hz motor.
Square V/F mode
The voltage applied to the motor is directly proportional to the square of the frequency except at low
speed where a voltage boost is provided which is set by the user. This mode can be used for running
fan or pump applications with quadratic load characteristics or for multi-motor applications. This
mode is not suitable for applications requiring a high starting torque.
2.1.2RFC-A mode
Rotor flux control provides closed loop control without the need for position feedback by using
current, voltages and key motor parameters to estimate the motor speed. It can eliminate instability
traditionally associated with open loop control such as operating large motors with light loads at low
frequencies.

The Safe Torque Off function provides a means for preventing the drive from generating torque in the
motor with a very high level of integrity. It is suitable for incorporation into a safety system for a
machine. It is also suitable for use as a conventional drive enable input.
The safety function is active when either one or both STO inputs are in the logic-low state as
specified in the control terminal specification. The function is defined according to EN 61800-5-2 and
IEC 61800-5-2 as follows. (In these standards a drive offering safety-related functions is referred to
as a PDS(SR)):
'Power, that can cause rotation (or motion in the case of a linear motor), is not applied to the motor.
The PDS(SR) will not provide energy to the motor which can generate torque (or force in the case of
a linear motor)'.
This safety function corresponds to an uncontrolled stop in accordance with stop category 0 of IEC
60204-1. The Safe Torque Off function makes use of the special property of an inverter drive with an
induction motor, which is that torque cannot be generated without the continuous correct active
behavior of the inverter circuit. All credible faults in the inverter power circuit cause a loss of torque
generation.
The Safe Torque Off function is fail-safe, so when the Safe Torque Off input is disconnected the drive
will not operate the motor, even if a combination of components within the drive has failed. Most
component failures are revealed by the drive failing to operate. Safe Torque Off is also independent
of the drive firmware.
The design of safety-related control systems must only be done by personnel with the
required training and experience. The Safe Torque Off function will only ensure the safety
of a machine if it is correctly incorporated into a complete safety system. The system must
be subject to a risk assessment to confirm that the residual risk of an unsafe event is at
an acceptable level for the application.
Safe Torque Off does not provide electrical isolation. The supply to the drive must be
disconnected by an approved isolation device before gaining access to power
connections.
It is essential to observe the maximum permitted voltage of 5 V for a safe low (disabled)
state of Safe Torque Off. The connections to the drive must be arranged so that voltage
drops in the 0 V wiring cannot exceed this value under any loading condition. It is strongly
recommended that the Safe Torque Off circuits be provided with a dedicated 0 V
conductors which should be connected to terminals 32 and 36 at the drive.

There are two autotune tests available in open loop mode, a stationary and a rotating test. A rotating
autotune should be used whenever possible so the measured value of power factor of the motor is

performs a stationary autotune, as above, then a rotating test is performed in which the motor is
accelerated with currently selected ramps up to a frequency of Rated Frequency (00.039) x 2/3,
and the frequency is maintained at that level for 4 seconds. To perform a Rotating autotune, set
Pr 00.038 to 2.
torque levels are applied to the motor to accelerate the motor up to 3/4 x Motor Rated Speed
(Pr 00.007) to determine the inertia from the acceleration/deceleration time.
A rotating autotune will cause the motor to accelerate up to 2/3 base speed in the
direction selected regardless of the reference provided. Once complete the motor will
coast to a stop. The enable signal must be removed before the drive can be made to run
at the required reference.The drive can be stopped at any time by removing the run

RFC-A0.000 to 200.000 s/rad0.100 s/rad
Defines the proportional gain for frequency controller 1.
RFC modes only.
The controller includes a feed forward proportional gain (Kp), a feed forward integral gain (Ki), and a
differential feedback gain (Kd).
Proportional gain (Kp)
If Kp is non-zero and Ki is zero the controller will only have a proportional term, and there must be a
frequency error to produce a torque reference. Therefore as the motor load increases there will be a
difference between the reference and actual frequencies.
Integral gain (Ki)
The integral gain is provided to prevent frequency regulation. The error is accumulated over a period
of time and used to produce the necessary torque reference without any frequency error. Increasing
the integral gain reduces the time taken for the frequency to reach the correct level and increases the
stiffness of the system, i.e. it reduces the positional displacement produced by applying a load torque
to the motor.
