CONTROL TECHNIQUES Unidrive HS70 Inverter Series

Control Techniques’ Unidrive HS70 series high-speed variable frequency AC/Servo drives deliver enhanced control of high speed motors. Additionally, machine throughput is maximized through enhanced single axis control and multi-axis network synchronization. Onboard real-time Ethernet (IEEE 1588 V2), onboard Advanced Motion Controller, and high speed I/O for position capture enables machine builders to create more sophisticated and flexible machines.
 

Features & Benefits:
1. Maximise throughput with superior motor control

• High bandwidth motor control algorithm for closed-loop induction, permanent magnet and servo motors - 3,000 Hz current loop bandwidth and 250 Hz speed loop bandwidth
• Flexible speed and position feedback interface supports a wide range of feedback technologies from robust resolvers to high resolution encoders
  • Up to three encoder channels simultaneously e.g. 1 feedback encoder, 1 reference encoder and 1 simulated output
  • MCi modules can eliminate the need for external PLCs and motion controllers
  • Simulated encoder output can provide position reference for CAMs, digital lock and electronic gearbox applications

2. Optimise system performance with onboard Advanced Motor Controller

• HS70 incorporates an Advanced Motion Controller capable of controlling 1.5 axes. The motion functions are carried out 'on the drive' so that system performance is maximised

3. Design flexible centralised and decentralised control systems

• MCi modules can be added to execute larger programs for advanced system control capability
• Onboard PLC for logic programs
• Machine Control Studio is an industry standard IEC61131-3 programming environment for efficient system design and configuration
• Integrated dual port Ethernet switch provides simple connectivity using standard connections
• Onboard real-time Ethernet (IEEE 1588 V2) uses RTMoE (Real Time Motion over Ethernet) to provide fast communication and accurate axis synchronisation
• Three System Integration ports are available to fit additional fieldbus, position feedback and I/O options

4. Conform to safety standards, maximise uptime and reduce costs by integrating directly with safety systems

• HS70 has an integrated Safe Torque Off (STO) input and can accommodate an SI-Safety module for safe motion functions
