Mentor MP is the latest addition to the well known Mentor brand which offers the same flexible control platform as Control Techniques’ intelligent AC drive – Unidrive SP. It makes Mentor MP one of the most advanced DC drives on the market, giving energy efficient operation, high motor performance and extreme flexibility in its system interfacing capabilities and onboard processing power.
The new DC drive covers output current ranges from 25-1850 A with a single module approach (7400 A when paralleled) and is available in 12 and 24-pulse configurations, providing low harmonics. Optional keypads are offered as high-brightness LED or multilanguage LCD with plain text versions and a range of 18 plug-in option modules including SM-EtherCAT, SM-Register & SM-Applications can provide extra control, functionality and communication. Whilst Smartcard technology provides parameter, PLC and motion program storage in addition to drive parameter cloning.
