Control Techniques manufactured the UD78 as a part of the Unidrive series, specifically structured as a Servo Large Option Module. This device incorporates high-level precision with its analog input features, enhancing control in various applications. It employs a 2-wire and 4-wire serial communication type, enabling flexible integration into different systems.

The module includes built-in backup power supply capabilities rated at 24 VDC, ensuring operation even during power interruptions. The full-scale differential input voltage is set to ±9.8V, with an absolute maximum differential voltage of ±30.0V, allowing for significant input variations. Its boundaries include a maximum input voltage of ±50V relative to 0VD, which ensures robust tolerances against potential overvoltage situations.

Communication is managed through an RS485 port for efficient data exchange, while it also provides a dedicated RS232 interface for PC programming purposes. The device features open-loop resolution measured at 12-bit plus sign, enabling precise control.

Additional specifications include an input-filter time constant of 10 microseconds, ensuring rapid response times, and an impressive common-mode rejection ratio of 95 dB, which minimizes noise and enhances signal integrity. The input resistance is rated at 20 kΩ, supporting a wide range of operating conditions. Furthermore, it maintains full-scale asymmetry within ±0.1% maximum, which is crucial for accuracy in control applications.
