Introduction
The Add-On Instruction (AOI) was created to expedite and simplify integration of Emerson Control
Techniques Unidrive M products into Rockwell Automation PLC applications. The AOI enables easy
integration of an Emerson Control Techniques drive into the RSLogixTM 5000 programming and
configuration environment, as well as the Logix Architecture by incorporating the drives' controller tags
and user-defined variables into one simple instruction.

Requirements
One of the following Emerson Control Techniques drives:
o Unidrive M200/M201, M300, M400 frame size 2 and above
o SI-Ethernet option module with firmware V01.04.02.08 or greater
Emerson Industrial Automation Unidrive M Connect software
o Unidrive M Connect V02.05.01.0 or greater
Emerson Control Techniques Add-On Instruction for the Unidrive M200-M400
Emerson Control Techniques Unidrive M Connect M200-M400 macro file
Allen-Bradley ControlLogix or CompacLogix PLC with Ethernet interface
Allen-Bradley RSLogixTM 5000 version 16 or higher
Ethernet connections between Allen-Bradley PLC and Unidrive M200-M400 with SI-Ethernet
OPTIONAL: CT-USB-CABLE and AI-485-ADAPTOR if needing to update firmware
Setup Overview
Set mode and region to Open-Loop and 60 Hz. NOTE: AOI will not function in RFC-A mode.
Configure motor parameters for your particular motor
Use the keypad (M200-M300 onboard, M400 needs CI-KEYPAD-LCD) to test motor operation
Disable the drive and download the M200-M400 macro file to the Unidrive M drive
Save the parameters in the drive
Configure the Allen-Bradley PLC Ethernet/IP interface to the Emerson Control Techniques drive
using RSLogixTM 5000. See below for more information.
Import the Control Techniques Add-On Instruction into your PLC program using RSLogixTM 5000
Create a Tag with the Data Type Unidrive_M
Insert the Add-On Instruction into your PLC program. There are only 3 required fields when
inserting the instruction: Tag created for AOI Data Type in the previous step, Out_ToDrive
(Ethernet Output Array Data), and Inp_FromDrive (Ethernet Input Array Data)
Test the drive system using the Run/Jog command
Write your application logic using the pre-defined data structures. See below for more
information.

Network/Terminal Control
Drive control can be initiated either over a network (default) or via the drive terminals.
o Cmd_AutoManual command
In network control, run and speed commands initiated through RSLogix program
In terminal control, run and speed commands initiated through drives digital and analog inputs

Troubleshooting
Make sure drive is enabled. Keypad reads rdy, if keypad reads inh enable drive. Digital I/O 2,
terminal 11 for M200/M201. STO input, terminals 31/34 or 31/35 for M300 and M400.
Make sure drive is not tripped
Motor data setup is correct
Macro file has been downloaded and saved to drive
Check Input assembly object size parameter 1.20.020 is 64 bytes
Check Output assembly object size parameter 1.20.021 is 64 bytes
Check that SI-Ethernet Menus 1.21 and 1.22 have values loaded into mapping parameters
o Menu 1.21 should have 16 input mapping parameters
o Menu 1.22 should have 16 output mapping parameters
Check the drive active IP address in parameter 15.010. This should be the same IP address as
the Generic Ethernet Module in RSLogixTM 5000.
Ethernet Connection Parameters are correct (Figure 2 above). I/O LED should be solid green. If
blinking green, this is a good indicator that these are wrong. Try cycling power to the drive.
Drive Control Word is Enabled (parameter 6.043)
Monitor drive Control Word (parameter 6.042) Out_ToDrive Word 0
Monitor drive Status Word (parameter 10.040) In_FromDrive Word 0
Make sure there are no errors in the RSLogixTM 5000 program (tags have been created, data
types, ect.)
Check Sts_ErrorCode in Unidrive M Connect
Check whether in terminal or network control Out_ToDrive Word 0 Bit 7
