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
