Mentor MP (25A to 7400A)

400V / 575V / 690V

High performance DC drive

 

Our Software suite makes it easier to access the drive's full feature set. It allows you to quickly setup the drive, optimise the tuning, back-up the configuration, program the onboard automation controller and setup communications links.

  • 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 drive configuration tool for commissioning, optimising and monitoring Control Techniques drives.  It allows you to:

  • The new home page reduces the learning curve for new users and provides powerful shortcuts for experienced users
  • Easily configure the drive using wizards
  • Read, save and load drive configuration settings
  • Manage the drive's smartcard data
  • Visualise and modify the configuration with live animated diagrams
  • New wizards guide new and experienced users systematically through the process of setting up the drive and migrating parameter sets from Mentor II to Mentor MP

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

SyPTPro

SyPTPro is a full featured automation development environment that can be used for developing tailored solutions to single or multiple drive applications. The programming environment fully supports three industry standard programming languages: Function Block, Ladder and Structured Text. Motion control is configured using the new PLCopen motion language, supporting multiple axes.

PLCopen Motion Function Blocks

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.

SyPTPro Network Configuration

SyPTPro guides programmers systematically through the process of migrating Mentor II applications to Mentor MP
