Control Techniques Expand Intelligent DC Drives Range
Control Techniques new intelligent DC drive, Mentor MP, was
publicly unveiled at the Nuremberg SPS/IPC exhibition in 2008, the
launch was a great success with units in the 25A to 210A range now
in service around the world. At Nuremberg 2009 Control Techniques
will showcase their new large size 2 models for the first
time.
The first shipments of the new Size 2 drive will commence before
the end of the year, new models cover the range 350A to 1,850A and
up to 690V. Multiple drives can be connected together to
control armature currents of up to 7,400A in 6, 12 and 24 pulse
configurations. Every drive in this range ships with an inbuilt 20A
field controller which is suitable for the vast majority of DC
motors, however, for higher field currents and for upgrading older
equipment a new standalone controller called the FXMP25 will be
available.
A core strength of the Mentor MP range is its compatibility with
Control Techniques universal SM option module range, giving Mentor
MP access to the latest onboard PLC and Motion engines, high speed
Ethernet and Fieldbus communications and connectivity with modern
high resolution feedback devices.
Typical applications that can immediately benefit from Mentor MP
include:
- Metals
- Printing
- Material Handling
- Rubber and plastics
- Pulp and paper
- Crane and hoist

- Elevator and escalator
- Active input for DC bus connected AC drive systems
