Control Techniques KI-KEYPAD-RTC Remote Drive Keypad
The Control Techniques KI-KEYPAD-RTC is a premium, plain-text LCD keypad accessory designed for the high-performance Unidrive M series. Operating as a direct interface for Unidrive M600, M700, M701, and M702 AC drives, this keypad provides a multi-language display supporting up to four lines of text for simplified diagnostic monitoring and quick parameter modifications. Equipped with a battery-operated Real-Time Clock (RTC), it allows for precise, chronological time-stamping of faults and operational events directly on the drive, which is essential for minimizing system downtime and optimizing industrial maintenance schedules.

Simplified Drive Diagnostics and Parameterization
The major industrial benefit of the KI-KEYPAD-RTC is the inclusion of the onboard real-time clock. When system trips or industrial faults occur, the keypad logs the exact date and millisecond-accurate time of the event, helping engineers isolate mechanical or electrical root causes rapidly. Users can easily navigate through drive structures, edit parameter sets, and view detailed descriptions instead of relying on cryptic, numeric fault codes.
Localized and Remote Cabinet Installation
-
KI Port Integration: Slips directly into the dedicated keypad mounting bay on the front of Unidrive M600 to M702 drives for a zero-footprint, clean installation.
-
Remote Mounting Layout: Can be securely mounted to an external electrical enclosure or cabinet door using a standard 1-to-1 wired RJ45 communications cable (up to 100 meters) for parameter access without exposing personnel to high-voltage interior components.
-
Sealed Ergonomic Design: Rugged pushbuttons allow smooth scrolling, navigation, parameter entry, and quick drive starting, stopping, or resetting directly from the front display.
