SD-MCU Control Unit
The control unit SD-MCU (SECOMDRIVE Main Control Unit) is a universal control system for low voltage Inverters completely developed internally.
Focused on industrial applications, the control unit currently covers a wide range of types of controls for induction motors, regenerative front-ends and much more.
The fiber optic connection between the control unit and the power section simplifies the wiring also in the parallelization of the converters.
SECOM Drive Manager (SDM) it is the drive parameter configuration tool that speeds up and simplifies commissioning, monitoring and any driver update made by the customer with a simple ethernet connection.
The SD-MCU allows you to select the most suitable control method based on your needs.
It offers control strategies for Inverter, F3E (Fundamental Frequency Front end regenative unit), AFE (Active Front end regenerative unit) and more.
The SD-MCU is equipped with an integrated realtime PLC (IEC61131-3) that allows you to create custom logics, manage automation at various levels, control both the I/O on board and interface I/O expansion modules or, again, interact with the control software.

Control unit functions
The control unit SD-MCU comes with a series of functions that the user can select according to the type of application required.
| Control unit functions | |
|---|---|
| Flying restart | To estimate the motor speed before start with demagnetized motor | Fast flying restart | To estimate the motor speed before start in any condition (it requires SD-SYNC) | 2 Digital potentiometer | To generate a reference with configurable steps | 2 JOG | A pulse to reach a certain speed reference with a certain ramp time | Cold bypass (starter) | To start the motor up to the grid voltage and frequency and afterwards the motor will be connected to the grid and the inverter will be bypassed | Hot bypass | Bring the motor on line to the grid and vice versa | Helper (Master-follower) | A master drive can control other slave drive with a reference of torque (for motor control) or current (for AFE) | Ride through (Kinetic regeneration) | If the DC voltage goes down, the DC bus vale is substained by keeping the kinetic energy of motor and load | Grid waiting | If the DC voltage goes down, power module switch off the pulses till the DC voltage be back | Current brake and/or Vdc Rollback | To speed up the actual ramp stop time | Energy saver | To reduce as much as possible the motor power loss | Safe torque off | SIL 3 - safety function to avoid torque transfer | Speed droop | To share the load when more motors are mechanically coupled |
| Other functions | |
|---|---|
| Commissioning/ID test | A usefull set of function to detect the motor parameters from plate data, or at standstill or in run for magnetization curve detection | Short circuit management | For VAC generator, it is possible to control the short circuit current for protection selectivity with various strategy | Regulators auto-tuning | Main regulator coefficients are autodetected | Configurable I/O | Almost all the digital I/Os are configurable; for example an output can be connected to a bit of a command or status word | Various mechanical reference | Up to 4 ramps time with various way to select them, 4 skip frequency, torque reference, up to 2 reference source, etc | Allarms configuration | All the software alarm are configurable. The drive can perform even an OFF1/2/3 before switch to fault state | Internal custom PLC | Users can program a custom PLC to add functionalities, expand I/O, etc |
