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” conguration 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 exible 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 ring.
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 eldbus. 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 exible, 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
• Ability to lter unwanted marks (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

“Made-to-Order” Drive Configurations
Feature-rich Unidrive SP drives are optimized for servo applications requiring high peak torque, dynamic response, ease of use and
versatile integration features. Several core congurations are listed below to which feedback, communications or I/O option modules
can be added for custom solutions. All in all, there are over 10,000 possible Unidrive SP congurations allowing you to match your
specic application and development requirements. The following combination examples also offer the option of adding two
additional option modules.
Unidrive SP “Base.” With up to 14 different motor feedback
options, the base Unidrive SP can be easily controlled with
single- and multi-axis controllers, PLC’s and host controllers
for medium- to high-power applications. The analog torque
or velocity modes can be used with classic position controllers
using analog outputs and encoder inputs. The drive can be
controlled over a SERCOS or EtherCAT network with the
addition of an SM-SERCOS or SM-EtherCAT option module.
Drive set-up parameters can be easily stored on a credit
card -sized SmartCard. Simple sequencing logic can be
accomplished using the onboard Ladder editor. Conguration
and diagnostics is done using the FREE CTSoft software tool.
With out-of-the-box motion control in less than ve minutes,
the Unidrive SP is the ultimate servo drive in terms of ease of
use and motion performance. Utilizing a familiar Windows®
interface, machine builders can use PowerTools Pro software
to quickly set up and program the Unidrive SP “EZ” to perform
almost any motion prole. Applications requiring camming,
indexing, electronic gearing, velocity and torque modes
can be accomplished through simple drag-and-drop, ll-
in-the-blank set-up. Real-time programs with “Basic-like”
command structured text can be used to program the machine
sequencing. The programming interface guides the user
through the drive, I/O and motion congurations. The drive
offers a standalone solution for many common indexing and
synchronized motion applications.

Motion Made Easy™ Solutions
“Motion Made Easy™ ”
Each step is congured using
simple check boxes, drop-down
selections and drag-and-drop
functionality. A straightforward
programming language allows
users to develop more complex
applications and advanced
sequencing by simply dragging
functions onto the work area and
dropping them in place.
PowerTools Pro Software for Unidrive SP EZMotion
PowerTools Pro software provides advanced motion control programming for Control
Techniques drives with internal motion controller. This FREE software enables users
to fully realize the power of our EZMotion motion controller. A familiar Microsoft®
Windows® interface provides operators and machine builders with the tools needed to
access everything they need for complete servo control — PLS, Queueing, High-Speed
Capture, Electronic Gearing, Event Assignments and more.
Developing motion applications with PowerTools Pro is a simple “ve-step, topdown” process. The ve steps are displayed in a familiar “explorer” bar (insert, left)
for easier navigation:
• Hardware
conguration
Assignments – Use “virtual wiring” to create programs right out of the box without
writing a single line of code. For example, the assignment screen (below) allows you to
drag-and-drop the desired machine function onto the digital inputs and outputs.
• Drive setup
• I/O setup
• Motion
• Programs
Indexes – Indexes are
easily set up by lling in the
screen’s blanks to create an
index prole. Select from
Incremental, Absolute,
Registration or Rotary Plus
and Minus types. “Position
Trac ker™” synchronization is
easily achieved using menu
selections. Choose the
time base of the index by
selecting either real-time or
synchronization with a master.
