2 Introduction
2.1 Products covered by this User Guide
This User Guide covers the SI-Ethernet option module and the onboard factory installed Ethernet
interface. Both the SI-Ethernet module and the onboard Ethernet interface offer the same
functionality.
The onboard Ethernet interface provides Ethernet connectivity and is installed during manufacture
to the following drives:
• Unidrive M700
• Unidrive M702
The SI-Ethernet is an option module that provides Ethernet connectivity and can be installed to the
following drives:
• Unidrive M200 / M201 (sizes 2 to 9)
• Unidrive M300 (sizes 2 to 9)
• Unidrive M400 (sizes 2 to 9)
• Unidrive M600 (sizes 3 to 11)
• Unidrive M700 / M701 / M702 (sizes 3 to 11)
2.2 Features
The following list gives an overview of the functionality available:
• Single RJ45 connectivity with support for shielded twisted pair.
• 100 Mbs Ethernet with auto-negotiation.
• Full and half duplex operation with auto-negotiation.
• Auto crossover detection.
• TCP/IP.
• Modbus TCP/IP.
• EtherNet/IP.
• Switch or Gateway mode.
• VLAN tagging.
• SyPTPro over Ethernet.
• Unidrive M Connect over Ethernet.
• Machine Control Studio.
• Static IP configuration or DHCP client.
• Non-cyclic data transfer with user program.
• Up to 3 transmit and 3 receive cyclic links (easy mode).
• IEEE1588 Precision Time Protocol synchronization.
• RTMoE (Real Time Motion over Ethernet).
2.2.1 Backup/auxiliary supply
Some drives provide a method of powering up the control circuits (and therefore any option module
installed) if the AC supply is removed, this allows Ethernet communication to continue operating
when the main AC supply is switched off.
