Greater motor field control
- Built in field controller as standard
- Gives excellent field control for the majority of DC motors
- Reduces the need for external components
Enhanced field control with FXMP25
- The FXMP25 may be controlled digitally by using a standard RJ45 connection, allowing set-up by standard drive parameters
- The FXMP25 can also function in standalone mode using its integrated keypad and display
Enhanced system design
- The heatsink cooling fans are intelligently controlled and only run when required, thus increasing reliability and reducing maintenance
- Eighteen different option modules allow customisation of the drive, including fieldbus, Ethernet, I/O, extra feedback devices and motion controllers
- The drive system designer is able to embed automation and motion control within the drive, eliminating communications delays that reduce performance
Fast set-up, configuration and monitoring
- Quick and easy to set-up
- Can be configured using optional removable keypads
- Advanced autotune features help you get the best performance from your machine
- PC software and Smartcard tools for rapid commissioning
- Intelligent networked system with CTNet
- Program inbuilt controller with SyPTLite
- Develop tailored solutions for applications modules with SyPTPro
- Option modules for all common Industrial Ethernet, fieldbus networks
Retro-fit projects
- Easy integration with your existing motor, power supply, application equipment and communication networks has been ensured from the design stage
- Mentor MP brings performance and possibilities to your application with minimum migration costs
Ease of migration
- Mentor MP has been designed so existing Mentor II customers can easily migrate to the new platform
- All power terminal locations and mounting points have been retained
- Mentor MP has a much smaller frame size than the 900 A Mentor II with paralleling options to offer high power density
- CT Soft has a built in migration wizard to assist with the transfer of drive parameters and programs
- Smaller cable requirements make connections within the cubical easier. Construction of a custom-made bus-bar is not required
Motor Field Control
- Built in field controller as standard in every Mentor MP
- Gives excellent field control for the majority of DC motors
- Reduces the need for external components
An external motor field controller is recommended when:
-
- The required field current is greater than that offered by the standard drive, up to 25 A. For example, older motors with low field voltages
- The field is required to be forced down more quickly than is possible with a standard half controlled field bridge
- Applications can be implemented with simple field current reversal, without armature reversal, if machine dynamics can still be met
