Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Compact Footprint: The SP0 frame size fits tight panel layouts without sacrificing performance — ideal for OEM machine builders.
- Multi-mode Control: Switches between V/Hz, open-loop vector, closed-loop vector, and servo modes from a single drive platform, reducing spare-parts inventory.
- Modular Expansion: SM option module slots allow fieldbus, encoder, and I/O expansion without replacing the drive.
- Auto-tune: Built-in motor auto-tune routine minimises commissioning time on new installations.
- Safe Torque Off (STO): Integrated SIL 2 / PLd safety function eliminates the need for external safety contactors in many applications.
- Energy Optimisation: Flux optimisation algorithm reduces motor losses at partial load — measurable energy savings in pump and fan applications.
Complete System Bill of Materials
For a fully operational Unidrive SP0 installation, consider the following complementary components:
- Line reactor / EMC filter (CT part: EMC-SP0-xxx) — required for CE compliance in residential environments
- Dynamic braking resistor — for applications with high-inertia loads or frequent deceleration
- SM-Keypad Plus — remote parameter display and copy unit
- SM-Applications module — onboard PLC for standalone operation
- SM-PROFIBUS / SM-DeviceNet / SM-CANopen — fieldbus communication modules
- Shielded motor cable (recommended ≤ 50 m for EMC compliance)
- 24 V DC auxiliary power supply — maintains control power during main supply interruption
Compliance & Industry Standards
- CE Marked — Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 2014/35/EU & EMC Directive 2014/30/EU
- UL Listed / cUL — UL 508C (Power Conversion Equipment)
- RoHS Compliant
- IEC 61800-5-1 (Adjustable Speed Electrical Power Drive Systems — Safety)
- IEC 61800-3 (EMC requirements for drive systems)
- EN ISO 13849-1 / IEC 62061 — STO function rated SIL 2 / PLd

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the UNI2403 run a single-phase motor?
A: No. The UNI2403 outputs three-phase power. It is designed to control three-phase induction or permanent-magnet motors up to 0.75 kW.
Q: Is the UNI2403 compatible with Modbus TCP/IP?
A: The base unit supports Modbus RTU over RS-485. Modbus TCP/IP requires an SM-Ethernet option module.
Q: What is the difference between UNI2403 and UNI2403-A?
A: The “-A” suffix typically denotes a revised hardware revision with minor component updates. Functionally and dimensionally they are interchangeable; always verify with the Control Techniques compatibility guide for your firmware version.
Q: Can I use this drive for a crane or hoist application?
A: Yes, with a dynamic braking resistor and closed-loop vector control mode. Ensure the STO wiring meets your local machinery safety standard.
Q: What spare parts should I stock alongside the UNI2403?
A: Recommended spares: internal DC bus capacitors (for drives >5 years old), cooling fan, and the SM option module matching your fieldbus.
