Description
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 • At 900 A, Mentor MP has a much smaller frame size than Mentor II with smaller cable requirements enabling high power density paralleled configurations without custom-made bus bars • CT Soft has a built in migration wizard to assist with the transfer of drive parameters and programs 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
