Emerson vfd Unidrive M700 series Machine controllers: MCi200, MCi210 and SI-Applications Plus.

Second processor for PLC programs and multi-axis control.
MCi modules add a powerful processor to Unidrive M700 which can execute comprehensive application programs to extend system and machine control capability. As a result of the highly flexible plug-in option module format, system design is streamlined by removing the need for PLCs and other external components. Programs are fast and easy to develop thanks to the user-friendly Engineering Control Studio software which uses industry standard IEC 61131-3 programming languages to build highly flexible and productive systems. MCi programs can access and manage Unidrive M’s embedded Advanced Motion Controller across a wide range of networks to provide perfectly synchronized multi-axis machine performance and throughput.

Save costs and streamline machine design.
- MCi modules can eliminate the need for external PLCs and motion controllers
- Plug-in option modules powered from the drive’s internal power supply mean less wiring and less physical space is required
- Simple integration with external components such as I/O, HMIs and other networked drives can be achieved using Unidrive M’s integrated standard Ethernet ports (with RTMoE or standard protocols), or fieldbuses supported by SI option modules (EtherCAT, PROFINET, PROFIBUS, CANopen)
- MCi210 has two additional Ethernet ports with an internal switch

Segregated network control.

Build high performance systems and productive machines.
- MCi modules execute comprehensive programs that can control multiple drives and motors simultaneously across real-time networks 
- M700’s onboard Ethernet using RTMoE (Real-Time Motion over Ethernet) provides synchronization and communication between drives using the Precision Time Protocol as defined by IEEE1588 V2 
- Performance is optimized by having a motion controller embedded in each networked drive
