Mentor MP

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
