High power modular drives
Unidrive M’s modular offering gives you never before seen flexibility in building compact, reliable high-power solutions. Paralleled together, Unidrive M can control asynchronous and synchronous motors up to 2.8 MW (4,200 hp). At the top of the modular drives range, the Frame 12 is a 500 kW (700 hp) single module. It offers great power density while keeping the size and system costs low.
Efficient system build
Designing and building a high power drive cubicle takes immense engineering knowhow. Most people don’t have that expertise in-house, but we do. And we’ve put it all into our DFS freestanding drives. The cubicle system is made to use our powerful modular drives. This helps the applications that need them the most. The results are maximum energy efficiency in an ingress protected package. Our cubicle drives come pre-assembled, easy to set up, with all necessary system components included. Furthermore, we can ship your Freestanding drive to you with a very short lead time, saving weeks on typical industry standards.
Multi-Protocol
A single drive that does it all...
Control Techniques’ philosophy has always been to support innovators, regardless of which communications protocol they may use. It’s for them that we’ve developed the most flexible high performance drive platform on the market.
Having multiple protocols supported by one drive means different systems can share one design. This reduces engineering effort and complexity. It also helps to simplify the inventory of parts and spares. But we didn’t stop there. Today, Unidrive M series drives come with EtherNet/IP, Modbus/TCP, RTMoE, and PROFINET RT. These features are standard on one drive platform and can be used at the same time. With this, Unidrive M delivers even more performance and extends the range of supported applications and achievable topologies. You can connect an HMI using Modbus TCP/IP with standard on-board communications. This can happen at the same time as a high-performance connection to a central PLC using EtherNet/IP or PROFINET RT.
RTMoE
Real-Time Motion over Ethernet (RTMoE) is included as standard on Unidrive M700 and M702 drives. It allows synchronized communication between drives with a cycle time of 250 μs. It uses the Precision Time Protocol from IEEE1588 V2. Inter-axis synchronization with RTMoE allows for complex and accurate electronic line-shaft applications. This can be done without needing a powerful PLC. All this functionality is at a fraction of the cost of other solutions available on the market today.
Traffic management
Every Ethernet based Unidrive incorporates dedicated network switches that allow the drives to be conveniently daisy chained together. Thus reducing the system wiring cost and saving valuable panel space. Using these special switches helps manage network traffic. This prevents overload and performance problems that can affect similar systems.
Cost-optimized integration
The diagram below shows how flexible Unidrive can be. It uses the high performance and cost-effective features of RTMoE. At the same time, it offers the supervisory control found in a traditional PLC.
Functional Safety
All Unidrive M drives have built-in dual Safe Torque Off (STO) inputs. These inputs are certified to SIL3 / PLe. They offer a simple and reliable safety solution.
The MiS210 safety option adds to the built-in STO. It can safely monitor or limit the range of motion.
Safety functions include: STO, SBC, SOS, SS1, SS2, SLS, SSM, SLA, SDI, SLP & SES
These provide the best flexibility in the safety system design, the modules support both wired and network safety connections. This includes CIP-Safety on EtherNet/IP and Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE).

Features
Feedback
The built-in, flexible speed and position feedback interface supports many feedback technologies. These include strong resolvers and high-resolution encoders. Some examples are SinCos, EnDat, SSI, HIPERFACE, and BiSS.
Sensorless
Unidrive supports sensor-less control of induction, permanent-magnet, and hybrid PM motors, reducing system cost and improving robustness.
High performance and high power
With Unidrive there is no compromise between power and control performance. Unidrive works well with high output switching frequencies across its power range. It is the best choice for applications that need strong performance control at high power levels.
Control
High bandwidth motor control supports switching frequencies up to 16 kHz. It works for open and closed loop induction, servo, and hybrid PM motors. This system provides up to 3,000 Hz current loop bandwidth and 250 Hz speed loop bandwidth. Unidrive, especially its high-speed versions, is good for tasks that need output frequencies over 600 Hz. This includes spindles and centrifuges.
Universally applicable
Having one universal drive in control of multiple parts of the application radically simplifies machine design. Your engineering team only have one product to learn, allowing them to spend more time on other tasks. It also means a single, universal replacement for any maintenance, repair or operational need.
On-board PLC
All Unidrive M series drives have a simple onboard PLC. This PLC can run programs for logic and IEC 61131-3 motion. It also handles sequencing with real-time tasks.
Advanced Motor Controller
The Unidrive M700 series has a 1.5 axes Advanced Motion Controller. This allows motion functions to run together on the drive. It operates at a cycle time of 250 μs. This setup reduces system delays and boosts performance. By using motion control on the drive, the system design can avoid being linked to certain PLC vendors. This also lowers the workload on the external PLC or can even replace it completely.
Key features of the Advanced Motion Controller include:
- 250 μs cycle time
- Motion profile generator
- Electronic gearbox
- Simple cam profiles with point-to-point selectable interpolation
- Homing functions
- High speed position freeze (Touch probe)
MCi integrated machine controllers
The MCi module acts as a second processor for PLC programs and multi-axis control. The module improves the drive's system and machine control. It can run application programs up to four times faster than a standard PLC. MCi programs can access and manage the Unidrive M’s Advanced Motion Controller. This works across many networks. It provides perfectly synchronized performance for multi-axis machines.
The modules are powered from the drives internal power supply, which means less wiring and less physical space is required. They work well with external parts like I/O, HMIs, and other networked drives. This is done through Unidrive M’s built-in communication ports and System Integration modules.
The MCi210 also provides two additional Ethernet ports with an internal network switch.
Integrated Safety
Updating system design means replacing old electro-mechanical safety parts with new variable speed drives. This change is now the standard in many industries. It helps improve efficiency and availability.
Unidrive has single or dual Safe Torque Off (STO) inputs. These inputs are certified to SIL3 / PLe. They offer a better and more reliable solution than traditional motor contactors.
