1How to use this guide ...........................4
This guide is intended for personnel who have the necessary training and experience in system design, installation, commissioning and maintenance.
1.2 Information
This guide contains information covering the identification of the option module, terminal layout for installation, fitting of the option module to the drive,
parameter details, diagnostic information and the specifications of the option module.
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.
2.2 Electrical safety - general warning
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.
Specific warnings are given at the relevant places in this User Guide.
2.3 System design and safety of personnel
The drive is intended as a component for professional incorporation into complete equipment or a system. If installed incorrectly, the drive 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 experience. They must read this safety information and this User Guide carefully.
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 supply must be disconnected by an approved electrical isolation device before gaining to the electrical connections.
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.
Careful consideration must be given to the functions of the drive which might result in a hazard, either through their intended behavior 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.
The system designer is responsible for ensuring that the complete system is safe and designed correctly according to the relevant safety
standards.
2.4 Environmental limits
Instructions regarding transport, storage, installation and use of the drive must be complied with, including the specified environmental limits. These
instructions can be found in the relevant drive documentation. Drives must not be subjected to excessive physical force.
2.5 Access
Drive access must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Safety regulations which apply at the place of use must be complied with.
2.6 Compliance 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.
Instructions for achieving compliance with specific EMC standards may be found in the relevant drive documentation.
Within the European Union, all machinery in which this product is used must comply with the following directives:
2006/42/EC: Safety of machinery.
2004/108/EC: Electromagnetic Compatibility.
2.7 Adjusting 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.
The drive contains capacitors which 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 for at least ten minutes before work may continue.
All connections from the Option module to the drive are made via the drive connector. Connections from external equipment to the SI-I/O are made
via a 3-way plugable/removable screw connector for the two relays, and an 11-way plugable/removable screw connector for the digital and analog
I/O.
Figure 3-1 SI-I/O
All parameters associated with the SI-I/O can be found in section 7 Parameters on page 15.
3.2Option module identification
SI-I/O can be identified by:
1. The label located on the top of the Option module.
2. The color coding across the front of the SI-I/O (Orange).

3.2.1Date code format
The date code is split into two sections: a letter followed by a number. The letter indicates the year, and the number indicates the week number (within
the year) in which the Option module was built.The letters go in alphabetical order, starting with A in 1990 (B in 1991, C in 1992 etc).
Example:
A date code of V35 would correspond to week 35 of year 2012.
3.3Conventions used in this guide
The configuration of the host drive and Option module is done using menus and parameters. A menu is a logical collection of parameters that have
similar functionality. In the case of an Options module, the parameters will appear in menu 15, 16 or 17 depending on which slot the module is
installed to. The menu is determined by the number before the decimal point.
The method used to determine the menu or parameter is as follows:
•Pr S.mm.ppp - Where S signifies the Option module slot number and mm.ppp signifies the menu and parameter number of the Option module's
internal menus and parameters.
•Pr MM.ppp - Where MM signifies the menu allocated to the Option module set-up menu and ppp signifies the parameter number.
Pr mm.000 - Signifies parameter number 000 in any drive menu.
All the inputs/outputs in the SI-I/O are user programmable for function and signal processing.
By default, the digital inputs/outputs on the Option module are configured to operate in positive logic.
Configuration of the maximum of eight digital inputs for positive/negative logic is carried out by setting Pr S.01.008.
By default, the SI-I/O Module is set up for four programmable digital inputs/outputs. By configuring the analog I/O as digital inputs, it is possible for the
SI-I/O module to have four programmable inputs/outputs and also four digital inputs.
The functionality of these terminals is as follows:
•The logic sense selected can be positive or negative
•The logic state of each input is monitored by a read-only parameter
•The logic state can be inverted
•The digital input can be programmed to any suitable destination bit parameter
•The digital output can be sourced from any suitable bit parameter
•The output can operate either as a push-pull or an open collector output
3.5Analog I/O
By default, the SI-I/O is set up for three single-ended analog inputs and one analog output or one high resolution differential analog input, one singleended analog input and one analog output.
Analog inputs 1 and 2 can only be configured as ±10 Vdc voltage inputs or digital inputs. When both are configured as analog voltage inputs, they can
be used as a single high resolution differential analog input.
Analog input 3 can operate in voltage mode (±10 Vdc), current mode (0 to 20 mA) or as a digital input.
Analog output 1 can operate in voltage mode (±10 Vdc), current mode (0 to 20 mA) or as a digital input.
The high precision differential analog input and analog output is only supported on Unidrive M600 - M800.
3.6Relays
The two relays can be used to convey the logic state of any suitable parameter to external equipment. The logic state is processed as follows:
•A suitable source parameter is assigned to each relay
•The logic state can be inverted
•The state of the relay is monitored by a parameter
3.724 V internal power supply
If the user load exceeds 400 mA at 24 V, (24 V internal power supply), then an external
24 V power supply will be required which should be connected to the drive’s control terminals 1 and 2.
The user load comprises of:
•The drive’s digital outputs plus the SI-I/O digital outputs
Or
•The drive’s main encoder supply
The maximum output current from the drive’s digital output terminals 22, 24, 25 and 26 is 240 mA at 24 V, exceeding this will result in an ‘Output
overload’ digital output overload trip.
The SI-I/O has a maximum output current of 250 mA at 24 V across all four digital outputs.
If the maximum current of the drive and Option modules is exceeded a ‘PSU 24V' 24 V internal power supply overload trip will result.

5.2Wiring, shield connections
To prevent noise being induced onto any of the analog inputs or outputs, it is advisable to use twisted pair cable shielded with an overall outer shield.
The shield connections should be terminated at one of the zero volt terminals on the Option module, and to the zero volt connection of the signal
source. The termination of the shield should be kept as short as possible to prevent and noise being induced in this area.
