208 / 230 / 380 / 480 Volts

3Ø DC Package

Overview

The Quantum MP is a packaged Mentor MP, provides the reliability, power and control to increase productivity for both new machines and applications where DC motors are already installed.

With added features like a DC loop contactor, high-speed input fuses and 115 VAC control logic and DC output fuse on all regenerative models. The Quantum MP saves engineering time and panel space that makes it ideal for North American customers.

Applications

Many DC drive applications are for retrofit systems to improve the performance and prolong the life of existing plants and machinery. New applications for DC drives include:

• High Power applications

• Ski lifts

• Printing Presses

• Heavy Moveable Structures

• Lumber and Paper Milling

• Dual-turret winding

• Plastic and Rubber Extrusion

• Cranes, Hoists, and Cabling

• Iron, Steel and Glassworks

• Tilt Vessels, Coilers, Spoolers

• Metal Fabrication and Wire drawing

• Winding and unwinding

• Pulp and Paper processing

• Metal Rolling and processing

 Benefits

• Powerful onboard intelligence allows the drives functionality to be finely customized to the application and allows the removal of troublesome analog control circuits

• Modular approach to high power drives allows multiple Quantum MP drives to be connected in parallel or series to economically achieve the required motor current and voltage rating

• CTSoft, a windows based software, provides an intuitive environment for configuring the drives functionality

• Our knowledge and experience in DC drive systems allows us to recommend the best solution for your individual circumstances

• Quantum MP integrates closely with the Control Techniques AC drives using CTNet, drive-to-drive communications

• Regenerative and non-regenerative modules available to suit your application

• Fieldbus options including; Ethernet, Profibus and DeviceNet allow Quantum MP to be integrated within an automation system

• Worldwide expertise and support

In addition to the features of the Mentor MP, the Quantum MP drive includes:

• High speed semiconductor fusing

• 115 VAC control interface

• DC loop contactor (with DB pole up to 250 hp @ 480 VAC)

• DC output fuse on all Regen models 

Field Control

OPTIONS

Software

Control Techniques' software suite makes it easy to access the complete feature set of our drives. These tools provide quick setup of the drive, optimize tuning, configuration back-up, programmable control and communications link set up.

• CTSoft - Drive configuration

• CTScope - Software oscilloscope 

• SyPTLite - Ladder program editor

• SyPTPro - Full automation system programming tool

• CTOPCServer - OPC compliant server for interfacing with Control Techniques' drives

The Software tools communicate using Ethernet, CTNet, Serial or USB connections. Ethernet allows the software tools to easily use the internet infrastructure allowing Control Techniques drives to be accessed remotely, from virtually anywhere around the world.

CTSoft

CTSoft is a configuration tool for commissioning, optimizing and monitoring Control Techniques drives.  It allows you to:

• Easily configure the drive using wizards

• Read, save and load drive configuration settings

• Manage the drive's smartcard data

• Monitor drive parameters and status

• Visualize and modify the configuration with live animated diagrams

CTSoft is free of charge and can be obtained by clicking the download tab on this page.

CTScope

CTScope is a full featured software oscilloscope for viewing and analyzing changing values within the drive.  The time base can be set to give high speed capture for tuning or intermittent capture for longer term trends.  The interface is based on a traditional oscilloscope, making it familiar to engineers across the globe.

CTScope is free of charge and can be obtained by clicking the download tab on this page.

SyPTLite

SyPTLite is an easy to use ladder logic program editor, suitable for simple drive applications. SyPTLite is ideal for controlling basic logic and sequencing onboard PLC and with SM-Applications Lite V2 solution module.

SyPTLite is free of charge and can be obtained by clicking the download tab on this page.

SyPTPro

SyPTPro is a full featured automation development environment that can be used for creating solutions to single or multiple drive applications. The programming environment fully supports three industry standard programming languages: Function Block, Ladder and Structured Text. Motion is configured using PLCopen function blocks that support a master and slave axis configuration.

SyPTPro is also used to configure CTNet, a high speed drive-to-drive network that links together multiple drives, SCADA, operator panels and I/O to form an intelligent networked system.

CTOPCServer

CTOPCServer is an OPC compliant server that allows PCs to communicate with Control Techniques' drives. The server supports communication using Ethernet, CTNet, Serial RS485 and USB. OPC is a standard interface on SCADA packages and is widely supported within Microsoft products. The server is supplied free of charge and can be obtained by clicking the download tab on this page.
