Retrofit-ready DC platform

Control Techniques DC Drive

A powerful, smart, and scalable platform to modernize existing DC motor lines.

Mentor MP integrates performance, flexibility, and service sustainability into a single platform for facilities looking to preserve classic DC motor infrastructure, high-current process lines, and Mentor II modernizations.

Mentor MP DC

Engineering Perspective

Not just an ordinary DC drive, but a system built for years of trouble-free operation.

Unlike legacy DC drives, Mentor MP offers a fully digital, modular architecture that is completely compliant with the latest generation of automation standards.

Retrofit-focused architecture

Retains terminal and mounting layouts for Mentor II migrations, reducing conversion costs and commissioning risks.

Drive Intelligence

Brings automation capabilities into the drive with an on-board PLC, SyPTPro, and modular option structures.

Broad communication ecosystem

Enables easy integration with modern IT/OT networks via EtherCAT, PROFINET, PROFIBUS, Ethernet/IP, and additional feedback modules.

High power configuration

Provides a scalable platform approach for massive current requirements with parallel 6, 12, and 24 pulse topologies.

Engineering Decision Points

Internal Field Control

Includes an 8A internal field controller in Frame 1 devices, and 20A in Frame 2 devices. FXMP25 is required for higher currents.

Parallel Operation Note

Supports 6, 12, and 24 pulse parallel topologies. A 5% de-rating in armature current must be considered during parallel use.

Safety Note

Mentor MP does not have a built-in STO function. Safety architectures must be designed using external contactors and safety relays.

Commissioning Ecosystem

The true power of Mentor MP lies not just in the drive, but in the tools that manage it.

CTSoft

The primary tool for commissioning, parameter management, cloning, and smartcard operations.

CTScope

Real-time oscilloscope for time-based monitoring of variables within the drive and tuning processes.

SyPTLite

Ladder-based internal user program editor for simple logic applications.

SyPTPro

Advanced automation programming environment supporting Function Block, Structured Text, and PLCopen motion.
