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.
Unidrive SP “EZ” (Base drive + SM-EZMotion module).
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.
Unidrive SP “Apps” (Base drive + SM-Applications Plus module). This
full-functionality machine control set-up is optimized for high-performance
machine cells requiring drive-to-drive networking and precision motion
control synchronization. SyPT Pro is an IEC61131-3 compliant software
development environment used to provide effective machine control,
motion and network communications. Ethernet and I/O connectivity
enable interfacing with other automation components and intellectual
property protection ensures your valuable knowledge remains secure.
“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.
