Mentor II
The Intelligent Drive
DC drives are widely used in applications that
require regeneration, precise speed control, dynamic
performance, and constant torque over wide speed
ranges. The Mentor II delivers the universal DC drive
solution.
Simple stand-alone applications are easily configured
to control motor speed, voltage or current using
standard internal settings. Set-up is convenient using
the drive keypad, or MentorSoft, a Windows based
drive configuration tool. The Mentor II has extensive
diagnostic and communication abilities that enhance
system reliability. The drive’s standard yet powerful
microprocessor is a versatile system component that
can eliminate the need for a PLC with integral functions
such as thresholds, timers and logic gates that perform
basic control.
—Extrusion
The simple addition of the MD29, a 32-bit application
Mentor II

coprocessor card, provides high performance drive

—Intelligent
systems with local intelligence for true distributed
control. The MD29 enables users to incorporate custom
or proprietary process control application programs to
their drive. The Mentor II also provides a wide range of
communication protocol options.
Mentor II systems have proven to be extremely reliable MODE
