When used for motion control applications the Unidrive SP can be operated in either servo or closed loop vector mode. The Unidrive SP also provides customers a unique advantage with its three option slots that can be populated with option modules tailored for your specific application. The Unidrive SP with SM-EZMotion can be programmed with our PowerTools Pro software and the Unidrive SP with SM-Applications modules can be programmed using our SyPTPro software. Two great software platforms for one awesome servo drive. 

Unidrive SP can be configured using the keypad to operate in the following modes:

  • Closed loop AC drive
  • AC servo amplifier for rotary and linear motors
  • Regenerative (Active) power supply
  • Open loop V/Hz AC drive
  • Open loop Vector AC drive

  • Textile machines
  • Materials handling systems
  • Printing
  • Converting
  • Metal production and processing
  • Pick and Place
  • Material Handling
  • Indexing
  • Conveyor Positioning  
  • Labeling

Benefits

  • Universal drive and option module flexibility future proofs your investment, it also means you only fit the features you need, reducing costs, removing complexity and increasing spares availability
  • The same control philosophy through the whole drives range reduces the learning curve
  • The Unidrive SP supports over fourteen different feedback types including; encoder, resolver, sin cos and absolute encoders
  • Scalable intelligence reduces the required cabinet size and increases system performance, especially with high speed machines and motion applications
  • Unidrive SP can easily be integrated in an automation system using one or more click-in fieldbus option modules. Profibus, DeviceNet, Ethernet/IP, CanOpen, SERCOS, LonWorks and Interbus are fully supported and certified
  • When operating as a motion control drive/amplifier the Unidrive SP can control servo motors, closed loop vector motors and linear motors. Advanced position control modules such as the SM-EZMotion and SM-Applications Plus can also be easily added to provide unparalleled motion control performance
  • Compact design and reduced weight achieved through advanced thermal design, the use of low loss IGBTs and a rigid SMC plastic chassis
  • Safe Torque Off feature reduces system costs in machine safety design
  • Ethernet connectivity allows global drive access for monitoring, configuring and troubleshooting
  • Product performance and reliability has been proven in hundreds of thousands of applications
  • Operation with global power supplies – 230V, 460V, 575V and 690V
  • Worldwide product expertise and support
  • Worldwide certifications including CE and UL
