Emerson VFD Drives Unidrive M600 industrial series

Emerson Unidrive M600 Optimized throughput, open automation systems, maximum ease of use.

Led by the results of extensive customer-driven market research, we have tailored six Unidrive M feature-sets to specific application needs identified within industrial automation.The Unidrive M600 adds useful networking capability, additional I/O and improved motor control performance for open loop applications to the family. It also provides an easy upgrade for existing Commander SK users.

High performance Emerson drive M600 series for induction and sensorless permanent magnet motors.

The M600 is the perfect choice for applications that require high performance open-loop control of induction or permanent magnet motors. SI-Encoder / SI-Universal Encoder option modules are available for applications that require more precise closed loop velocity and digital lock / frequency following of induction motors.

Enhance throughput with high performance open-loop control of induction and permanent magnet motors. 
- Advanced Rotor Flux Control (RFC) algorithm gives maximum stability and control of induction and permanent magnet motors 
- Up to 200% motor overload suitable for heavy industrial machinery applications.

Reduce system costs by directly integrating with applications.
- M600 incorporates an onboard PLC which can execute Engineering Control Studio (IEC61131-3) programs for logic control, sequencing, speed following and digital lock - removing the need for additional PLCs. 
- Fit up to three SI modules to add safe motion, speed feedback, additional I/O and fieldbus communications.

Energy efficiency Unidrive M is designed to enhance the energy efficiency of all applications: 
- Low power standby mode. In some applications, drives can sit idle for significant periods; Unidrive M’s reduced standby power saves energy
- Easy common DC bus configuration enables braking energy to be recycled within the drive system, reducing energy usage and eliminating external supply components 
- Unidrive M supports sensorless (open loop) control of compact high efficiency permanent magnet motors 
- Active Front End for regenerative AC drive systems 
- Dyneo®: perfectly synergized Permanent Magnet motor and Unidrive M solutions - optimized for performance and energy saving 
- Dyneo® Unidrive M and Permanent Magnet motor solutions offer exceptional efficiency levels across all operating speeds, especially at lower speeds where the efficiency is much higher than induction motors 
- Low losses, up to 98 % efficient.

Engineering Control Studio software in Emerson vfd Unidrive M600 series.

Unidrive M600’s onboard PLC is programmed using Engineering Control Studio which provides a flexible and intuitive environment for programming.

IEC 61131-3 automation programming.
The programming environment is fully IEC 61131-3 compliant and therefore familiar, fast and easy to use for control engineers around the world.

The following IEC 61131-3 programming languages are supported:
- Structured Text (ST) 
- Function Block Diagram (FBD) 
- Structured Function Chart (SFC) 
- Ladder Diagram (LD) 
- Instruction List (IL)

Also supported:
- Continuous Function Chart (CFC).
Intuitive IntelliSense functionality helps to write consistent and robust programs, speeding up software development. Programmers have access to a vibrant open-source community for function blocks. Engineering Control Studio also supports customers’ own function block libraries, with on-line monitoring of program variables with user defined watch windows and help for on-line change of programs, in line with latest PLC practices.

Power System Flexibility.
Unidrive M’s unique motor control algorithms combined with the latest microprocessor technology ensure it offers the highest stability and bandwidth for all industrial motor types. This enables users to maximize machine throughput in every application and with every motor, from standard AC induction motors to dynamic linear motors and from energy saving permanent magnet motors to high performance servo motors.

Motor control options available include:

Fast and Easy access for Commissioning, Monitoring and Diagnostics with Emerson frequency inverter Unidrive M600 series.

User interface options.
Unidrive M600 benefits from a number of keypad choices to meet your application needs. Unidrive M600 is quick and easy to set-up. The drives may be configured using a selection of keypads, SD or Smartcard or the supplied commissioning software that guides the user through the configuration process.

Unidrive M Connect commissioning tool.
The Unidrive M Connect PC tool is for commissioning, optimizing and monitoring drive/system performance. Its development draws from extensive user research, using human centered design principles to give the ultimate user experience:
- Task-based drive operations are simplified with intuitive graphical tools in a familiar Windows environment
- Dynamic drive logic diagrams and enhanced searchable listings
- Drive and motor performance can be optimized with minimal specialized drive knowledge 
- Tool is scalable to match application requirements 
- Supports the import of Unidrive SP parameter files and allows full drive cloning (i.e. parameter sets and application programs) 
- Matching Unidrive M to Emerson motors (such as Dyneo®) can be achieved quickly and easily using Unidrive M Connect’s motor database 
- Multiple communications channels for a more complete overview of the system 
- Drive discovery gives the ability to find drives on a network automatically without the user having to specify their addresses.

Unidrive M’s portable memory devices.
Smartcard: Smartcards can be used to back-up parameter sets and basic PLC programs, as well as copying them from one drive to another, including from a Unidrive SP: 
- Simplified drive maintenance and commissioning 
- Quick set-up for sequential build of machines 
- Upgrades to be stored on a Smartcard and sent to the customer for installation.
SD card: Standard SD cards can be used for quick and easy parameter and program storage using an adaptor. SD cards provide a huge memory capability allowing a system reload if required, and can be easily preprogrammed on a common PC.
