Automation Solutions
Unidrive SP programmable drives offer more compact, higher-performance and lower-cost solutions in machinery automation applications. Over the past 20 years, Control Techniques has pioneered the embedding of programmable automation, motion control and communications features within its drive products.
Featured SM Option Modules
To provide the best possible dynamic motor performance, the following Control Techniques SM option modules contain a high-performance microprocessor that allows the base drive to be dedicated to shaft control as well as machine control.
SM-EZMotion
The SM-EZMotion option module and Control
Techniques’ FREE PowerTools Pro software
provide a user-friendly environment for
“out-of-the-box” configuration and motion programming. The EZMotion approach is ideal for rapid development of motion application solutions. The module has four digital inputs and two digital outputs for high-speed I/O operations.
SM-Applications Plus
SM-Applications Plus offers all of the features
of the SM-Applications Lite V2 module plus
Control Techniques’ CTNet network tool (see below), RS485 serial port and high-speed I/O. The
SM-Applications Plus option module is programmed using SyPTPro (System Programming Tool).
•Drive-to-drive communications: SM-Applications Plus option modules include a high-speed, drive-to-drive network called CTNet. This network is optimized for intelligent drive systems offering flexible peer-to-peer communications. CTNet has the capability to connect to remote I/O, operator panels, Mentor MP DC drives and PCs providing the ability to perform true parallel multi-tasking.
•Control Techniques’ CTSync is also standard on the SM-Applications Plus module, providing the drive clock synchronization with <4µsec jitter.
•Inputs/Outputs: This module has two digital inputs and two digital outputs for high-speed I/O operations such as position capture and actuator firing.
SM-Applications Lite V2
The SM-Applications Lite V2 option module
provides programmable control for standalone
drive applications or when the drive is connected
to a centralized controller via I/O or fieldbus. SM-
Applications Lite V2 may be programmed using Ladder Logic with SyPTLite or can use the full automation and motion control capabilities contained within SyPTPro, IEC 61131-3 software (see page 8 for more information).
•Real-time control: The SM-Applications Lite V2 module provides real-time access to all of the drive’s parameters plus access to data from I/O and other drives. The module uses a high-speed multi-tasking operating system with task update times as low as 250µs. Tasks are synchronized to the drive’s own control loops to give you the best possible performance for drive control and motion.
SM-Register
The SM-Register option module is designed to
provide a flexible, high-performance solution
for programmable motion requiring high-speed registration features – ideal for applications such
as printing, packaging and cutting machinery.
Features include:
•Motion programming using PLCopen or Control Techniques’ Advanced Position Controller (APC)
•Two fully independent registrations capture channels
•Storage for 256 events per channel, microseconds apart
•Pattern recognition
•Speed capacity in excess of 3000ft/min
•Abilitytofilterunwantedmarks(i.e.splashes,dirt,text,etc.)
•Minimum and/or maximum pulse width
•Distance from previous edge
•Compensation for registration sensor throughput delay
•CTNet and CTSync functionality
