Scalable, open, integrated Machine Control

Emerson Industrial Automation Italia presents the evolution of Unidrive M, the range of drives dedicated to production automation.

At the center of attention, the Enhanced Integrated Machine Control Unidrive M models, from  the  M400  to the M810 size, programmable in CODESYS.
Combined with the Dyneo series offer of permanent magnet motors, this drive and  motor control  solution provides an overall superior efficiency over all speed ranges and a quick return on investment.

The various possibilities
• The Unidrive  models, from  the M400 to M600, integrate a PLC programmable CODESYS, which enables the management of tasks in real-time using simple control logic, which enhances the capabilities of the drive.
• Unidrive M700 adds a real-time task to interface with the Machine Control Advanced 1.5 axis, and thus ensures key functions such as cycle time of 250 μs, motion profile generator, electric shaft, interpolated cam, homing function and position capture at high speed.
• Model M800 has a powerful CODESYS programming capabilities and Ethernet communication via the network interface integrated in the drive. It is ideal for motion applications and stand alones for the control of small machines that require the integration of I/O and user interfaces, or for PLC -based systems where PLC and motion need to be separated.
• The M810 model offers the same programming capabilities of the M800, but with the addition of more memory and an Ethernet switch with two extra gates, directly on the CODESYS microprocessor board.
The open automation architecture, designed to maximize the machine output, leaves the widest choice of components and protocols; furthermore, the control algorithm of the high-bandwidth motor increases the dynamic performance of the machine with any engine technology.
