help Control Techniques Unidrive M700 FAQ
Can the Unidrive M700 control both induction motors and servo motors?
Yes. The M700 is a high-performance AC and servo drive designed for applications that need precise speed, torque, or position control. Its product range spans installations from roughly 0.75 kW into multi-megawatt industrial systems.
What motion control is built into the Unidrive M700?
The drive includes a 1.5-axis advanced motion controller capable of executing motion functions on a 250-microsecond cycle. This allows some synchronized machine functions to run within the drive instead of depending entirely on an external controller.
Does the Unidrive M700 include real-time Ethernet?
Yes. Control Techniques includes Real-Time Motion over Ethernet on the M700, supporting synchronized communication between drives and machine-control components.
Can an Unidrive M700 replace a separate PLC?
It can handle onboard application logic and motion functions, and optional MCi modules add a second processor for more demanding machine-control programs. Whether it replaces the main PLC depends on the required I/O, safety architecture, programming standard, and number of coordinated axes.
