Functional sufficiency is the principle of designing and creating automated control systems with the required characteristics, allowing optimal use of financial resources.
A series of digital DC electric drives Mentor MP the company Control Techniques /Leroy Somer it fully complies with this principle, and is confirmed by the best value /functionality, reliability ratio on the market.
As standard, the electronic speed controller has all the necessary components to build an automated control system for a DC electric motor. The use of optional modules inserted into slots on the front panel allows the user to significantly expand the functionality and optimize the system for the most complex tasks.
The use of a single Solution Platform by Control Techniques for its electrical equipment made it possible to make all external optional SM modules unified.
The SM modules are fully compatible with the frequency converters Commander SK, Unidrive SP, Commander SX, Digidrive SK, Proxidrive, Powerdrive, Digitax ST and Mentor MP digital drives.
