Sensorless

Unidrive supports sensorless 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 supports high output switching frequencies throughout the power range, making it the drive of choice when your application demands uncompromised high performance control at high powers.

Control

High bandwidth motor control supporting switching frequencies up to 16 kHz, for open and closed loop induction, servo and hybrid PM motors, giving up to 3,000 Hz current loop bandwidth and 250 Hz speed loop bandwidth. Unidrive, with its high speed variants, is suitable for applications where output frequencies above 600 Hz are needed, such as 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.

Integrated Safety

Modernising system design, replacing traditional electro-mechanical safety components with the capabilities of the latest generation of variable speed drives, is the new standard across industries to increase efficiency and availability.

Unidrive offers integrated single or dual Safe Torque Off (STO) inputs, certified to SIL3 / PLe, providing an elegant and more reliable solution over traditional motor contactors.

On-board PLC

All Unidrive M series drives incorporate an easy to use, onboard PLC which can execute programs for logic and IEC 61131-3 motion and sequencing with real-time tasks.

Advanced Motor Controller

The Unidrive M700 series integrates a 1.5 axes Advanced Motion Controller, allowing motion functions to be synchronously carried out on the drive at 250 μs cycle time, minimising system latencies and maximising performance. By implementing motion control on the drive, the system design can be liberated from being tied to specific PLC vendors, at the same time reducing the computational load on the external PLC or even replacing it altogether.

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

MCi programs can access and manage Unidrive M’s embedded Advanced Motion Controller across a wide range of networks, providing perfectly synchronised multi-axis machine performance.

The modules are powered from the drives internal power supply, which means less wiring and less physical space is required. They work seamlessly with external components such as I/O, HMIs and other networked drives through Unidrive M’s native communication ports and System Integration modules.

The MCi210 also provides two additional Ethernet ports with an internal network switch.

Two additional interfaces offer more connectivity and additional freedom

The latest generation of WAGO PFC200 controllers now offer up to four separately configurable ETHERNET ports. This means that all applications that place increased demands on connectivity can be implemented. The networks at the ports can be freely configured. This means that the controller can be integrated into an extensive network with two ports each and, at the same time, into a smaller local network. The possibilities range from connection to four different networks to all four ports with switches. This saves the need for an additional switch in the control cabinet, which is often necessary.

An integrated firewall functionality ensures a high level of security in local networks. The four interfaces on the PFC200 are designed as 100BASE-TX ports with RJ-45 sockets. All common ETHERNET protocols are supported. Typical applications for the PFC200 can be found in mechanical and plant engineering, in the process industry and in building automation. The powerful controller works with a real-time capable Linux® operating system and can be programmed with the languages ​​according to IEC 61131-3.

Your advantages:

• Four ETHERNET ports on one controller
• Freely configurable
• There is no need for an additional switch in the control cabinet.

Simple, reliable flow control

Water flow controls require extreme reliability and low energy consumption. As part of our newly introduced Specialist series of industry-specific drive technologies, the F600 inverter from Control Techniques is based on our company’s five decades of experience in the field of drive technology and enables precise and reliable flow control.

The Inverter has everything you need. The F600 has all the features you need and uses the language you understand. This is not a generic drive that has been upgraded with specific pump functions – it is a dedicated, specialty pump drive that has been designed from the ground up for the reliability and efficiency you need.

Speaks your language

The F600 inverter is tailored to all your needs and optimized to minimize the time required for set-up without sacrificing flexibility. Whatever the challenge, our clear naming and structuring of parameters ensures that we not only have the answers to this challenge, but also present them in a format that you understand.

Energy savings, realizing the potential

On average, 85% of a pump’s life cycle cost is related to its energy consumption, so optimizing energy consumption can mean a significant reduction in the total cost of ownership. The F600 converter scores with particularly efficient operation of applications with variable torque. You will see the benefits in reduced operating costs and lower energy consumption.

Full control

The F600 can also control the most efficient motors available that meet the IE5 efficiency level, such as: B. the Nidec Leroy Somer Dyneo + hybrid permanent magnet motor. All of these make the F600 the best choice for saving money every day.

Developed for your application

The F600 pump inverter offers a variety of special functions including dry run protection, pipe filling, pump cleaning, overclocking protection and level control. A number of different control modes for single pumps and different parallel pump configurations make the Control Techniques F600 an extremely versatile solution.

Unmatched total cost of ownership

through innovative protective functions and extended device service life

The F600 has extensive pump and motor protection functions that minimize unplanned downtimes, improve overall effectiveness and guarantee high profitability. Make your application really fail-safe and survive component failures without far-reaching problems.

Automatic troubleshooting

In the unlikely event that your pump fails, the F600 can dynamically restore operation and return to normal operation.

Limit control

If the actual value feedback exceeds the limit values ​​defined for your application, the F600 can trigger an alarm or stop the drive in order to protect your system and preserve its service life.

Protection against failure of the transmitter

If the connection to the transmitter is lost, the F600 can stop operation, continue at a fixed speed, or ignore the error, depending on the application requirements.

Fire mode

Fire mode allows the drive to disable all trip trips and continue running without interruption during emergency events if the application requires it.

The F600 is 98% efficient, which means that very little energy is lost in energy conversion.

The real savings potential is also tapped through the built-in functions of the F600, which can further reduce energy consumption:

Savings at low loads

The F600 helps to maximize energy savings with little use. With the state-of-the-art low load power saving function from Control Techniques, the converter dynamically reduces the applied voltage to reduce losses in the motor and increase the efficiency of the system.

The little giant is here! With the new compact controller CC100, WAGO is opening a new door in the world of automation. With its embedded Linux operating system, on-board I / Os, industrial interfaces and Type-C connectivity, the CC100 is on the market!
