UNIDRIVE has a LED light on the front of the device that visually explains what
the driver is doing (see Section 4.1), if you want it to be visible you should take
this into consideration before choosing the location where your UNIDRIVE will be
mounted.
Warning
In order to ensure the proper functioning of the UNIDRIVE you must keep the
controller clean and dry and ensure an effective heat exchange between the
UNIDRIVE and the vehicle surface.

If your UNIDRIVE has a factory-installed cooling fan, you just make sure that the
installation location chosen guarantees a sufficient air flow to the cooler.

Otherwise, if you have chosen UNIDRIVE in Electrical Box Version, you must ensure
that the installation on board guaranteeing an adequate heat exchange between the

figure must be greater than D1(H1) size. A thermal grease should be used on both sides of
aluminum plate to improve the heat exchange between UNIDRIVE and the vehicle board.
The additional aluminum plate is not included on UNIDRIVE.
Tips and Advice
A thermal grease should be used on the rear side of the UNIDRIVE heatsink to
improve the heat exchange between UNIDRIVE and the vehicle surface.
If the installation method shown in Figure 2.1 is not sufficient to ensure an effective
heat dissipation from the UNIDRIVE, you should install a Fan Cooler or a Liquid
Cooler on your UNIDRIVE.

It’s also possible to connect two or more UNIDRIVE together for specific application
(e.g: steering wheel control) and drive different types of servomotor. These advanced
installations will not be dealt with in the present manual.

UNIDRIVE
Warning
The following wiring diagrams and operating instructions should be read
carefully and completed before wiring your UNIDRIVE up on your system.
The wiring diagram must be chosen in according to the operating mode
(PLC, Standalone, EV , CAN, RS323) that suits your needs.
Note
For M4896-X Type you should mount an external fuse, see Section 2.2.1.
2.3.1Standalone Mode
The Standalone mode is designed to drive your motor with only two inputs: a throttle
and a emergency input.
Other optional inputs can be used to extend the functionality of this operating mode
(See Table 2.4).
For the correct functioning of this operating mode, special attention must be paid
to choose the correct value of Analog Input (See Section 3.4.4) in according to the
throttle characteristics.
Note
If you’ve installed a 0-10V or 0-5V throttle the rotation direction of the motor
should be given through the FORWARD and the BACKWARD input.

It is the output to connect to buzzer, it
gets high when the rotation direction is
backward.
The Fast and Slow modes are designed to meet two different purposes:
Slow mode
It’s programmable so that the vehicle indoor moves slowly with accurate
operation.
Fast mode It allows a faster velocity for outdoor long distance path.
It’s scheduled both the configuration of the maximum motor velocity and the
maximum velocity at Slow mode (See Section 3.4.2).

For the correct functioning of this operating mode, special attention must be paid
to choose the correct value of Analog Input (See Section 3.4.4) in according to the
throttle characteristics.
Note
If you’ve installed a 0-10V or 0-5V throttle the rotation direction of the motor
should be given through DIR input.

When the RUN / STOP input gets high the brake is unlocked and the motor starts to
spin-up. If overtravels are enabled by Telemetry panel (see Section 3.4.6) UNIDRIVE
will stop the motor when one of two over-travel inputs (CCW OVERTRAVEL and CW
OVERTRAVEL) will get high.

2.3.3EV Mode
The EV mode is specially designed to control motors mounted in Electric Vehicles
(EV). This operating mode employs sophisticated proprietary algorithms to offer
you a driving experience as much as possible similar to traditional gasoline engine
vehicles. A detailed explanation of this operating mode is given in Section 3.6.
For the correct functioning of this operating mode, you must install only 0–10V or
0-5V throttle and choose the correct value of Analog Input (See Section 3.4.4) in
according to the throttle characteristics.
Note
In this operating mode the rotation direction of the motor should be given
through the FORWARD and the BACKWARD input.

This chapter covers what you need to know to configure your UNIDRIVER M Series
via Telemetry Panel.
Warning
This part of the manual assumes that UNIDRIVE was wired up correctly by
following methods described in Chapter 2.
Telemetry Panel allows the adjustment of a wide range of parameters through the
USB port in order to customize the vehicle’s performance characteristics. To install
Telemetry Panel you would simply double-click on Setup.exe file and following the
instructions in the setup assistant.
After the installation, you can select your preferred language1and temperature scale
- Celsius or Fahrenheit - from the list that appears under Setup menu.

In order to connect your UNIDRIVE to Telemetry Panel, you should connect it to
PC and wait for USB port recognition. After USB port recognition, you can launch
Telemetry Panel and click on Connection menu (Figure 3.1).
Connect button permits to start communication toward the select USB port.
Note
Telemetry panel automatically creates a list of available USB port. It’s then
necessary to choose the suitable port where UNIDRIVE is connected.
After connection, Telemetry Panel loads parameters from UNIDRIVE allowing you to
change them.

Telemetry Panel includes two functions which help you to estimate approximate
value of the following parameters:

The gain parameters for closed-loop current control.

•
The Offset Resolver/SinCos to sum to resolver/encoder position.
Warning
Please note that the suggested parameters are only a point of departure. They
must be adjusted according to system and you should run the motor only after
checking them.
3.5.1Gain Parameters for closed-loop Current Control
In order to calculate the value of Kp and Ki for closed-loop current control you need
two basic motor information: Winding resistance and Winding inductance.
You should normally find these parameters on data-sheet of your motor, otherwise
you must ask the motor manufacturer to provide these data.
50Chapter 3 Configuration
Page 55
To calculate Kp and Ki values by Telemetry Panel:
1. Move to Autotuning tab (Figure 3.6).
2. Insert the Winding resistance and Winding Inductance value.
3. Click on Calculate button.
Telemetry Panel shows you the value of Kp and Ki and gets you some information
(Cut Frequency, Motor RL Constant, PWM attenuation) which can be useful to tune
Kp and Ki parameters.
Note
Telemetry Panel will automatically send the suggested current loop Kp and Ki
values to UNIDRIVE.
3.5.2Offset Resolver/SinCos
Finding the correct value of Offset Resolver/SinCos is critical to the proper functioning
of the system. Telemetry Panel helps you determine the correct value of Offset

must be off the ground and free to rotate. All testing and adjustment must be
done in safe condition.

Maintenance
UNIDRIVE no needs any maintenance interventions. It’s only necessary to keep the
contacts and the controller clean and dry. The fuse is the only user-serviceable part
in the UNIDRIVE (See Table 2.2, Pag. 11).

Never attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the UNIDRIVE yourself, penalty
