Unidrive SP Overview chart

One range, any power
Unidrive SP is a complete drive automation range that covers the
power spectrum from 0.5 to 2,900 hp. All drives share the same
flexible control interface regardless of the power rating. Drives
are packaged in three formats; Panel Mount, Free Standing and
Modular.

Panel Mount – Standard drive
modules
0.5 to 200 hp
Unidrive SP Panel Mount drives are standard AC input, AC output
modules for installation within a control panel. The modules are
easy to install and commission and can be applied in a wide range
of applications.

150 to 1,000 hp
Unidrive SP Free Standing offers a fully engineered drive that
is supplied within a standard sized enclosure. Free Standing can be
ordered to include all of the power input equipment needed to allow
immediate connection to the motor and to the power supply.

60 to 2,900 hp
Unidrive SP Modular offers maximum power system flexibility;
drive modules can be connected together in a variety of ways to
create common DC bus systems, active input systems for returning
excess energy to the power supply and parallel drives for high
power motors. All drive modules are compact for easy handling.

NEW– Unidrive SP Size Zero
NEW– Unidrive SP Size Zero is a new member of the Panel Mount
range. It reduces the drive size by 60% for motors from 0.5 to 2
hp. The new model has the same parameter set, universal motor
control and user interface as the rest of the Unidrive SP
range.
Any motor, any encoder
Unidrive SP has a leading set of standard features equipped to
provide high-performance motor control for induction, servo and
synchronous motors. The control mode is simply selected using the
drive keypad.
- Servo – Precision, dynamic control supporting
a wide range of rotary and linear motors
- Closed Loop Vector – Ultimate precision
control of induction motors offering full motor torque at zero
speed.
- RFC Mode (Rotor flux Control) – Superior
dynamic performance and stability without a feedback device
- Open Loop Vector – Good open loop motor
performance with minimum configuration
- Open loop V/f Control – A simple control
algorithm that is ideal for parallel motors
- Regenerative – Active front end control mode
for harmonic elimination and regeneration
Unidrive includes the hardware required to connect to virtually
any feedback encoder type, allowing the designer to select the most
appropriate technology for the application:
- Incremental - Offers a good balance of cost
and performance
- SinCos - Provides increased position
resolution for precision and low speed applications
- SSI - Provides absolute position feedback
- EnDat & HIPERFACE - These encoders
transfer position data using a high speed communications network,
often combined with SinCos technology
Add the extra features you need
Click-in option modules allow you to customise the drive to suit
your needs. Over 25 different options are available including
Fieldbus, Ethernet, I/O, extra feedback devices and automation
controllers.
Intelligently Driven
Unidrive SP allows the drive system designer to embed automation
and motion control within the drive eliminating communication
delays that reduce performance while CTNet, a high performance
drive-to-drive network, links the different parts of the
system.
Reliability and Innovation
Unidrive SP is designed using a well proven development process
that prioritises innovation and reliability. This process has
resulted in Control Techniques having a market leading reputation
for both product performance and quality.
