Advantages of the structure and configuration of the inputs and outputs of the Mentor MP electric drive
- programmable inputs and outputs, relays provide easy integration of the electric drive into an existing control system.
- all inputs and outputs, the electric drive relays are already programmed by the manufacturer, the user can immediately start starting the equipment.
In more than 80% of cases, the standard I/O configuration of the Mentor MP electric drive is sufficient for users, if necessary, it can be significantly expanded using external SM models: SM-I/O Plus, SM-I/O 32, SM-I/O Lite, SM-I/O Timer, SM-I/O PELV, SM-I/O 120, SM-I/O 24V Protected for more information, see here.
This section of the site provides information about the configuration of inputs and outputs, the default terminal functions used, and examples of building a function using logic circuits.
For detailed consultations, please contact our engineers. In our company you can buy Mentor MP DC drives, all types of equipment are available.
