Control Techniques MCi200 & MCi210 Machine Control option modules:
Compatible with Control Techniques Unidrive M700 series
Unidrive M’s MCi200 and MCi210 modules extend machine control capability when combined with the Advanced MotionController embedded in Unidrive M700. Enabling easy connectivity of additional machine components and application software, MCi200 and MCi210 create a complete application solution. As a result of the highly flexible plug-in option module format, system design is streamlined by removing the need for PLCs and additional external equipment. Machine control is fast and easy to achieve thanks to Unidrive M’s user friendly programming software – Machine Control Studio – utilizing the industry-standard open IEC 61131-3 programming environment.
User programming
The MCi200 and MCi210 modules are capable of running
Machine Control Studio programs. It is an integrated development environment that supports all five of the
programming languages of the IEC 61131-3 standard, including
Structured Text (ST), Ladder Diagram (LD), Function Block
Diagram (FBD), Sequential Function Chart (SFC) and Instruction
List (IL). Continuous Function Chart (CFC) is also supported.
MCi210 ensures higher performance by delivering:
Two additional Ethernet ports with an internal switch
Support for standard Ethernet protocols, along with RTMoE for
PTP (IEEE 1588) synchronization
Modbus TCP/IP master (up to 5 nodes)
Parallel interface with drive processor provides faster data
exchange
Machine control over two segregated Ethernet networks
enables greater flexibility in machine design
Extends connectivity with 3 x digital inputs, 1 x digital output
