General Information
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any consequences resulting from inappropriate, negligent or incorrect
installation or adjustment of the optional operating parameters of the equipment or from mismatching the variable speed
drive with the motor.
The contents of this guide are believed to be correct at the time of printing. In the interests of a commitment to a policy
of continuous development and improvement, the manufacturer reserves the right to change the specification of the
product or its performance, or the contents of the guide, without notice.
All rights reserved. No parts of this guide may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electrical or
mechanical including photocopying, recording or by an information storage or retrieval system, without permission in
writing from the publisher.
Drive software version
This product is supplied with the latest software version. If this drive is to be connected to an existing system or machine,
all drive software versions should be verified to confirm the same functionality as drives of the same model already
present. This may also apply to drives returned from a Control Techniques Service Centre or Repair Centre. If there is
any doubt please contact the supplier of the product.
The software version of the drive can be checked by looking at Pr 11.29 (di14/0.49) and Pr 11.34. This takes the form
of xx.yy.zz where Pr 11.29 (di14/0.49) displays xx.yy and Pr 11.34 displays zz. (e.g. for software version 01.01.00,
Pr 11.29 (di14/0.49) = 1.01 and Pr 11.34 displays 0).
Environmental statement
Control Techniques is committed to minimising the environmental impacts of its manufacturing operations and of its
products throughout their life cycle. To this end, we operate an Environmental Management System (EMS) which is
certified to the International Standard ISO 14001. Further information on the EMS, our Environmental Policy and other
relevant information is available on request, or can be found at www.greendrives.com.
The electronic variable-speed drives manufactured by Control Techniques have the potential to save energy and
(through increased machine/process efficiency) reduce raw material consumption and scrap throughout their long
working lifetime. In typical applications, these positive environmental effects far outweigh the negative impacts of product
manufacture and end-of-life disposal.
Nevertheless, when the products eventually reach the end of their useful life, they must not be discarded but should
instead be recycled by a specialist recycler of electronic equipment. Recyclers will find the products easy to dismantle
into their major component parts for efficient recycling. Many parts snap together and can be separated without the use
of tools, while other parts are secured with conventional fasteners. Virtually all parts of the product are suitable for
recycling.
Product packaging is of good quality and can be re-used. Large products are packed in wooden crates, while smaller
products come in strong cardboard cartons which themselves have a high recycled fibre content. If not re-used, these
containers can be recycled. Polythene, used on the protective film and bags for wrapping product, can be recycled in the
same way. Control Techniques' packaging strategy prefers easily-recyclable materials of low environmental impact, and
regular reviews identify opportunities for improvement.
When preparing to recycle or dispose of any product or packaging, please observe local legislation and best practice.
REACH legislation
EC Regulation 1907/2006 on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals (REACH) requires
the supplier of an article to inform the recipient if it contains more than a specified proportion of any substance which is
considered by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to be a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) and is
therefore listed by them as a candidate for compulsory authorisation.
For current information on how this requirement applies in relation to specific Control Techniques products, please
approach your usual contact in the first instance. Control Techniques position statement can be viewed at:

1 Safety Information
1.1 Warnings, Cautions and Notes
A Warning contains information which is essential for
avoiding a safety hazard.
A Caution contains information which is necessary for
avoiding a risk of damage to the product or other equipment.
A Note contains information which helps to ensure correct operation of
the product.
1.2 Electrical safety - general warning
The voltages used in the drive can cause severe electrical shock and/or
burns, and could be lethal. Extreme care is necessary at all times when
working with or adjacent to the drive.
Specific warnings are given at the relevant places in this Guide.
1.3 System design and safety of
The drive is intended as a component for professional incorporation into
complete equipment or system. If installed incorrectly, the drive may
present a safety hazard.
The drive uses high voltages and currents, carries a high level of stored
electrical energy, and is used to control equipment which can cause
injury.
System design, installation, commissioning / start-up and maintenance
must be carried out by personnel who have the necessary training and
experience. They must read this safety information and this guide
carefully.
The STOP and START controls or electrical inputs of the drive must
not be relied upon to ensure safety of personnel. They do not
isolate dangerous voltages from the output of the drive or from any
external option unit. The supply must be disconnected by an
approved electrical isolation device before gaining access to the
electrical connections.
The drive is not intended to be used for safety-related functions.
Careful consideration must be given to the function of the drive which
might result in a hazard, either through its intended behaviour or through
incorrect operation due to a fault. In any application where a malfunction
of the drive or its control system could lead to or allow damage, loss or
injury, a risk analysis must be carried out, and where necessary, further
measures taken to reduce the risk - for example, an over-speed
protection device in case of failure of the speed control, or a fail-safe
mechanical brake in case of loss of motor braking.
personnel
1.4 Environmental limits
Instructions within the supplied data and information within the Mentor
MP User Guide regarding transport, storage, installation and the use of
the drive must be complied with, including the specified environmental
limits. Drives must not be subjected to excessive physical force.
1.5 Access
Access must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Safety
regulations which apply at the place of use must be complied with.
1.6 Fire protection
The drive enclosure is not classified as a fire enclosure. A separate fire
enclosure must be provided.
1.7 Compliance with regulations
The installer is responsible for complying with all relevant regulations,
such as national wiring regulations, accident prevention regulations and
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations. Particular attention
must be given to the cross-sectional areas of conductors, the selection
of fuses and other protection, and protective ground (earth) connections.
The Mentor MP User Guide contains instructions for achieving
compliance with specific EMC standards.
Within the European Union, all machinery in which this product is used
must comply with the following directives:
2006/42/EC: Safety of machinery
2004/108/EC: Electromagnetic compatibility
1.8 Motor
Ensure the motor is installed in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations. Ensure the motor shaft is not exposed.
Low speeds may cause the motor to overheat because the cooling fan
becomes less effective. The motor should be installed with a protection
thermistor. If necessary, an electric forced ventilation fan should be
used.
The values of the motor parameters set in the drive affect the protection
of the motor. The default values in the drive should not be relied upon.
It is essential that the correct value is entered into Pr 5.07 (SE07, 0.28), Motor rated current. This affects the thermal protection of the motor.
1.9 Adjusting parameters
Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the drive.
They must not be altered without careful consideration of the impact on
the controlled system. Measures must be taken to prevent unwanted
changes due to error or tampering.
1.10 Electrical installation
1.10.1 Electric shock risk
The voltages present in the following locations can cause severe electric
shock and may be lethal:
•AC supply cables and connections
•Output cables and connections
•Many internal parts of the drive, and external option units
Unless otherwise indicated, control terminals are single insulated and
must not be touched.
1.10.2 Stored charge
The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal
voltage after the AC supply has been disconnected. If the drive has been
energized, the AC supply must be isolated at least ten minutes before
work may continue.

3 Mechanical Installation
3.1 Safety
Follow the instructions
The mechanical and electrical installation instructions must
be adhered to. Any questions or doubt should be referred to
the supplier of the equipment. It is the responsibility of the
owner or user to ensure that the installation of the drive and
any external option unit, and the way in which they are
operated and maintained, comply with the requirements of
the Health and Safety at Work Act in the United Kingdom or
applicable legislation and regulations and codes of practice
in the country in which the equipment is used.
Competence of the installer
The drive must be installed by professional assemblers who
are familiar with the requirements for safety and EMC. The
assembler is responsible for ensuring that the end product or
system complies with all the relevant laws in the country
where it is to be used.
If the drive has been used at high load levels for a period of
time, the heatsink can reach temperatures in excess of 70°C
(158°F). Human contact with the heatsink should be
prevented.
Enclosure
The drive is intended to be mounted in an enclosure which
prevents access except by trained and authorized
personnel, and which prevents the ingress of contamination.
It is designed for use in an environment classified as
pollution degree 2 in accordance with IEC 60664-1. This
means that only dry, non-conducting contamination is
acceptable.
3.2.3 Cooling
The heat produced by the drive must be removed without its specified
operating temperature being exceeded. Note that a sealed enclosure
gives much reduced cooling compared with a ventilated one, and may
need to be larger and/or use internal air circulating fans.
For further information, refer to section 3.6.2 Enclosure sizing on
page 26.
3.2.4 Electrical safety
The installation must be safe under normal and fault conditions.
Electrical installation instructions are given in Chapter 4 Electrical installation on page 32.
3.2.5 Electromagnetic compatibility
If it is necessary to meet strict emission limits, or if it is known that
electromagnetically sensitive equipment is located nearby, then full
precautions must be observed. The use of an external EMC filter may be
required at the drive inputs, which must be located very close to the
drives.
Space must be made available for the filters and allowance made for
carefully segregated wiring. Both levels of precautions are covered in
Table 12-42 Drive power stage terminals on size 2 drives on page 164.
3.2.6 Hazardous areas
The drive must not be located in a classified hazardous area unless it is
installed in an approved enclosure and the installation is certified.
The drive enclosure is not classified as a fire enclosure. A
separate fire enclosure must be provided.
Many of the drives in this product range weigh in excess of
15kg (33lb). Use appropriate safeguards when lifting these
models.
See section 3.4 Mounting method on page 17.
3.2 Planning the installation
The following considerations must be made when planning the
installation:
3.2.1 Access
Access must be restricted to personnel only. Safety regulations which
apply at the place of use must be complied with.
3.2.2 Environmental protection
The drive must be protected from:
•moisture, including dripping water or spraying water and
condensation. An anti-condensation heater may be required, which
must be switched off when the drive is running
•contamination with electrically conductive material
•contamination with any form of dust which may restrict the fan, or
impair airflow over various components
•temperature beyond the specified operating and storage ranges
•corrosive gasses

Refer to section 12.1.2 Typical short-term overload limits on page 145
for drive losses.
Add the dissipation figures for each drive that is to be installed in the
enclosure.
Add the power dissipation figures for each EMC filter that is to be

Calculate the total heat dissipation (in Watts) of any other equipment to
be installed in the enclosure.
Add the figures of all of the above to get a total heat dissipation figure (in
Watts) for the equipment in the enclosure.
Calculating the size of a sealed enclosure
The enclosure transfers internally generated heat into the surrounding
air by natural convection. The larger the surface area of the enclosure
walls, the better is the dissipation capability. Only the surfaces of the
enclosure that are not in contact with a wall or floor can dissipate heat.

category III and lower, according to IEC 60664-1. This
means they may be connected permanently to the supply at
its origin in a building, but for outdoor installation additional
over-voltage suppression (transient voltage surge
suppression) must be provided to reduce category IV to
category III.

4.3 AC supply requirements
The standard drive is rated for a nominal supply voltage up to 480Vrms.
An optional rating of 575Vrms is available for size 1 drives.
An optional rating of 575Vrms and 690Vrms is available for size 2 drives.
Grounded delta supplies exceeding 575V are not permitted
for drives up to and including 210A. Grounded delta supplies
exceeding 600V are not permitted for drives rated 350A and
above.
4.3.1 Supply types
Drives rated for supply voltages of up to 575V (rated up to 210A) and
600V (350A and above), are suitable for use with any supply type i.e.
TN-S, TN-C-S, TT, IT with grounding at any potential i.e neutral, centre
or corner (“Grounded delta”).
Grounded delta supplies >575V are not permitted for drives rated up to
and including 210A. Grounded delta supplies >600V are not permitted
for drives rated 350A and above.
4.3.2 Supply fault current
The maximum fault current level of the supply to all circuits is 100kA
subject to the capability of the semiconductor fuse fitted.
4.3.3 MOV ground disconnect
The facility for disconnecting the jumper (link) between varistors and
ground is provided for special circumstances, where a sustained high
voltage may be present between lines and ground, for example during a
high potential test or in certain situations with IT supplies and multiple
generators. If the jumper (link) is disconnected then the immunity of the
drive to high voltage impulses is reduced. It is then only suitable for use
with supplies having overvoltage category II, i.e. not for connection at
the origin of the low voltage supply within a building.

The Mentor MP, in common with all naturally commutated thyristor
drives, causes voltage notches at the input supply terminals. In order to
avoid disturbance to other equipment using the same supply, the
addition of external line inductance is strongly recommended in order to
restrict the depth of the notches imposed on the shared supply. This is
generally not necessary where a dedicated transformer is used to supply
the drive.
The following recommendations for added line inductance, have been
calculated based on the power drive systems standard: EN 618003:2004 “Adjustable speed electrical power drive systems – Part 3: EMC
requirements and specific test methods”.
The current ratings specified in Table 4-2 are for typical motor currents
where the motor current ripple is no more than 50% of drive rating.

•It can be used to supplement the drive's own internal 24V when
multiple SM-Universal Encoder Plus, SM-Encoder Output Plus, SMI/O Plus, or SM-I/O 32 modules are being used and the current
drawn by these modules is greater than the drive can supply. (If too
much current is drawn from the drive, the drive will initiate a 'PS.24V'

allows any fieldbus modules, application modules, encoders or serial
communications to continue to operate.
•It can be used to commission the drive when the line power supply is
not available, as the display operates correctly. However, the drive
will be in the UV trip state unless the line power supply is enabled,
therefore diagnostics may not be possible. (Power down save

2. Assumes the use of 75°C rated cables, as per Table 310.16 of the
National Electrical Code.
The use of higher temperature rated cable would allow a reduction on
the minimum recommended cable size for Mentor MP shown above. For
high temperature cable sizing, please refer to the data supplied by the
manufacturer of the high temperature cable.
Maximum continuous input currents are given in section 2.1 Ratings on
page 6 to aid the selection of fuses and cabling. The maximum input
current is dependent on the ripple content of the output current. A value
of 100% ripple has been assumed for the given ratings.
The cable sizing selected when installing a Mentor MP must comply with
the local wiring regulations. The information provided in this section is
provided for guidance purposes only.
The power terminals on Mentor MP frame size 1 drives have been
designed to accommodate a maximum cable size of 150mm
2
(350kcmil)
with a temperature of 90°C (194°F).
The power terminals on Mentor MP frame size 2A drives have been
2
designed to accommodate a maximum cable size of 2 x 150mm
(2 x
350kcmil) with a temperature of 75°C (167°F).
The power terminals on Mentor MP frame size 2B drives have been
designed to accommodate 2 x 240mm
2
with a temperature of 90°C
(194°F). The use of cables sized using the US national electrical code as
shown in Table 4-8 requires the use of a terminal adaptor.
The power terminals on Mentor MP frame size 2C and 2D drives have
been designed for use with busbars. The drive can be used with cables
as shown in Table 4-8 with the use of a terminal adaptor.
The actual cable size depends on a number of factors including:
•Actual maximum continuous current
•Ambient temperature
•Cable support, method and grouping
•Cable voltage drop
In applications where the motor used is of a reduced rating, the cable
sizing selected can be appropriate for that motor. To protect the motor
and the output cabling the drive must be programmed with the correct
motor rated current.
When using reduced cable sizes, the branch circuit protection fuse rating
needs to be reduced in line with the cable size selected.
The following table shows typical cable sizes based on USA and
International standards, assuming 3 conductors per raceway/conduit, an
ambient temperature of 40°C (104°F) and applications with high output
current ripple content.
IEC 60364-5-52 use installation method B2, table A.52-4 for three loaded conductors, PVC insulation 30°C and apply derating factor for 40°C from

check the internal field fuses if the drive is tripping field loss (FdL) and
the field controller is enabled.
Isolate the power before removing the internal field fuses.

4.7 External suppressor resistor
The Mentor MP range of drives provide internal suppression of the
voltage overshoots created by commutation of the thyristors in the power
stage during the operation of the product. The internal suppression is
suitable for typical applications using recommended line reactors as
defined in section 4.4 Line reactors on page 37. The Mentor MP drives
provide the facility to allow for extra suppression for applications at the
boundaries of the drive's operating area. Applications which may require
an external suppression resistor to be installed have some or all the
following characteristics:
1. Supplies rated ≥10kA with less than the recommend line reactance.
2. High line-to-line voltage
The recommended external suppressor resistor selections are shown in
Table 4-18.
The following diagram shows the location of the external suppressor
resistor terminals above the L1 and L2 terminals:

Shielded cable should be used for bucket suppressor connections. For
UL applications the cable should comply with UL1063 in accordance
with UL508a.
For applications where the external suppressor resistance is chosen to
be less than the recommended value for reasons of economy, it is
essential that the resistance is not less than the minimum resistance
shown in Table 4-19. However selecting a resistance less than the
recommended value requires a more complex installation. The power
rating of the resistor can be selected by the user according to the
dissipation required for the application, up to a maximum of the values
specified in Table 4-19.

Overload Protection
When using an external suppressor resistor of a resistance or
power rating less than the recommended rating, it is essential
that an overload protection device is incorporated in the
resistor circuit (refer to Figure 4-13).
External suppressor resistor protection parameter settings
The software provided by the Mentor MP provides overload
protection. Failure to correctly configure Pr 11.62, Pr 11 .63
and Pr 11.6 4, as described in the Mentor MPAdvanced User Guide could lead to the resistor being overloaded.

4.8 Ground leakage
The ground leakage current depends on whether an external EMC filter
Ω
is installed. Ground leakage currents for external EMC filters can be
obtained from the manufacturers data sheet for the filter being used.
With no external EMC filter:
<1mA
4.8.1 Use of residual current device (RCD)
There are three common types of ELCB / RCD:
1. AC - detects AC fault currents
2. A - detects AC and pulsating DC fault currents (provided the DC
current reaches zero at least once every half cycle)
3. B - detects AC, pulsating DC and smooth DC fault currents
•Type’s A and AC should never be used with Mentor MP drives.
•Type B must be used with all Mentor MP drives.
Only type B ELCB / RCD are suitable for use with Mentor
If an external EMC filter is used, a delay of at least 50ms should be
incorporated to ensure spurious trips are not seen. The leakage current
is likely to exceed the trip level if all of the phases are not energized
simultaneously.
The installer of the drive is responsible for ensuring compliance with the
EMC regulations that apply where the drive is to be used.
MP drives.
4.9 EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility)
The Mentor MP meets immunity requirements (specified in Table 1243 Immunity compliance on page 164) with no special precautions.
N
Some special measures may be required in certain applications where
the control cables are long or pass outside the building. See section
4.9.4 Surge immunity of control circuits - long cables and connections
outside a building on page 47.
Radio frequency noise emission can occur from any of the power
connections i.e. main and auxiliary A.C connections, armature and field
output terminals.
For many applications in heavy industrial environments the noise
emission is not sufficient to cause interference to other equipment.
When radio frequency emission must be limited the method used should
be chosen to suit the situation.
4.9.1 Power drive systems standard
Compliance with the EMC standard for power drive systems (PDS) IEC
61800-3, EN 61800-3:2004 category C3
To meet this standard a standard armature filter and a standard field filter
must be installed. See Table 4-20 Mentor MP and EMC filter cross references on page 47 for EMC filter cross references.
Shielded cables must be used for the field and armature and the shields
must be clamped to ground at both ends. The standard is met for cable
lengths up to 100m.
4.9.2 Generic standard and PDS category C2
Compliance with the generic emission standards for industrial
environments category IEC 61000-6-4 and EN 61000-6-4:2007, and the
PDS standard category C2.
To meet this standard a standard field filter and a high performance
armature filter must be installed. See Table 4-20 Mentor MP and EMC filter cross references on page 47 for EMC filter cross references.
Shielded cables must be used for the field and armature and the shields
must be clamped to ground at both ends. The standard is met for cable

buildings used for residential purposes.
•The second environment is one that includes all establishments
other than those directly connected to a low-voltage power supply
network which supplies buildings used for residential purposes.
•Restricted distribution is defined as a mode of sales distribution in
which the manufacturer restricts the supply of equipment to
suppliers, customers or users who separately or jointly have
technical competence in the EMC requirements of the application of
drives.
4.9.4 Surge immunity of control circuits - long
cables and connections outside a building
The input/output ports for the control circuits are designed for general
use within machines and small systems without any special precautions.
In applications where they may be exposed to high-energy voltage
surges, some special measures may be required to prevent malfunction
or damage. Surges may be caused by lightning or severe power faults in
association with grounding arrangements which permit high transient
voltages between nominally grounded points. This is a particular risk
where the circuits extend outside the protection of a building.
As a general rule, if the circuits are to pass outside the building where
the drive is located, or if cable runs within a building exceed 30m, some
additional precautions are advisable. One of the following techniques
should be used:
1. Galvanic isolation, i.e. do not connect the control 0V terminal to
This is a product of the restricted distribution class according
to IEC 61800-3. In a residential environment this product may
cause radio interference in which case the user may be
required to take adequate measures.

wire is accompanied by its return (0V) wire.
2. Shielded cable with additional power ground bonding. The cable
shield may be connected to ground at both ends, but in addition the

The communications port applies a two-unit load to the communications
network. Connectors 2, 3, 7 and shield must always be made to the
serial communications port. Shielded cable must be used at all times.
4.10.1 Isolation of the serial communications port
The serial PC communications port is double insulated and meets the
requirements for SELV in EN 50178:1998.
In order to meet the requirements for SELV in IEC 60950 (IT
equipment) it is necessary for the control computer to be
grounded. Alternatively, when a lap-top or similar device is
used which has no provision for grounding, an isolation
device must be incorporated in the communications lead.
An isolated serial communications lead has been designed to connect
the drive to IT equipment (such as lap-top computers), and is available
from the supplier of the drive. See Table 4-23 for details.
Table 4-23 Isolated serial comms lead details
Part numberDescription
Surge suppression devices are available as rail-mounting modules, e.g.
from Phoenix Contact:
Unipolar TT-UKK5-D/24 DC
Bipolar TT-UKK5-D/24 AC
These devices are not suitable for encoder signals or fast digital data
networks because the capacitance of the diodes adversely affects the
signal. Most encoders have galvanic isolation of the signal circuit from
the motor frame, in which case no precautions are required. For data
networks, follow the specific recommendations for the particular
network.
4.10 Serial communications connections
The Mentor MP has a serial communications port (serial port) as
standard supporting two wire EIA(RS)-485 communications. See Table
4-22 for the connection details for the RJ45 connector.
Figure 4-16 Serial communications port
The “isolated serial communications” lead has reinforced insulation as
defined in IEC 60950 for altitudes up to 3,000m.
When using the CT EIA232 Comms cable the available baud rate is
limited to 19.2k baud.
4.10.2 Multi-drop network
The drive can be used on a 2 wire EIA485 multi-drop network using the
drive's serial communications port when the following guidelines are
adhered to.
Connections
The network should be a daisy chain arrangement and not a star,
although short stubs to the drive are allowed.
The minimum connections are pins 2 (RX TX), 3 (isolated 0V), 7 (RX\
4500-0087CT EIA232 Comms cable
4500-0096CT USB Comms cable
N
TX\) and the shield.
Pin 4 (+24V) on each drive can be connected together but there is no
power sharing mechanism between drives and therefore the maximum
power available is the same as a single drive. (If pin 4 is not linked to the
other drives on the network and has an individual load then the
maximum power can be taken from pin 4 of each drive.)
Termination resistors
If a drive is on the end of the network chain then pins 1 and 8 should be
linked together. This will connect an internal 120Ω termination resistor
between RXTX and RX\TX\. (If the end unit is not a drive or the user
wishes to use their own termination resistor, a 120Ω termination resistor
should be connected between RXTX and RX\TX\ at the end unit.)
If the host is connected to a single drive then termination resistors
should not be used unless the baud rate is high.
CT Comms cable
The CT Comms cable can be used on a multi-drop network but should
only be used occasionally for diagnostic and set up purposes. The

If the CT Comms cable is to be used, then pin 6 (TX enable) should be
connected on all drives and pin 4 (+24V) should be linked to at least 1
drive to supply power to the converter in the cable.
Only one CT Comms cable can be used on a network.
4.11 Shield connections
These instructions must be followed to ensure suppression of radiofrequency emission and good noise immunity in the encoder circuit. It is
recommended that the instructions for the connection of the encoder
cable be followed closely and, to use the grounding bracket and
grounding clamp supplied with the drive, to terminate the shields at the
drive.
4.11.1 Motor cables
Use of a motor cable with an overall shield for the armature and field
circuits may be needed if there is a critical EMC emissions requirement.
Connect the shield of the motor cable to the ground terminal of the motor
frame using a jumper (link) that is as short as possible and not
exceeding 50mm (2in) long. A full 360° termination of the shield to the
terminal housing of the motor is beneficial.
4.11.2 Encoder cable
To get the best results from shielding use cable with an overall shield
and separate shields on individual twisted pairs. Refer to section
4.15 Connecting an encoder on page 54.
4.11.3 Control cables
It is recommended that signal cables should be shielded. This is
essential for encoder cables, and strongly recommended for analog
signal cables. For digital signals it is not necessary to use shielded
cables within a panel, but this is recommended for external circuits,
especially for inputs where a momentary signal causes a change of state
(i.e. latching inputs).

4.11.4 Grounding hardware
The drive is supplied with a grounding bracket, to facilitate EMC
compliance. This provides a convenient method for direct grounding of
cable shields without the use of "pig-tails". Cable shields can be bared
and clamped to the grounding bracket using metal clips, clamps or cable
ties. Note that the shield must in all cases be continued through the
clamp to the intended drive terminal in accordance with the connection
details for the specific signal.

A supply needs to be connected to the dual fan unit enclosed within the
lower duct on Mentor MP size 2C and 2D. The fans can be configured
for a 230Vac (factory setting) or 115Vac supply as shown below on the
label next to the fan connections. When connecting the fan supply, the
screws should be tightened with a maximum torque of 1.2 Nm (0.88 Ib ft)

If any of the digital inputs (including the drive enable input)
are connected in parallel with an inductive load (i.e.
contactor or motor brake) then suitable suppression (i.e.
diode or varistor) should be used on the coil of the load. If no
suppression is used then over voltage spikes can cause
damage to the digital inputs on the drive.

4.15 Connecting an encoder
Additional measures to prevent unwanted emission of radio frequency
noise are only required where the installation is subject to specific
requirements for radio frequency emission.
Encoder connections:
To ensure suppression of radio frequency emission, observe the
following:
•Use an encoder with the correct impedance
•Use a cable with individually shielded twisted pairs.
•Connect the cable shields to 0V at both the drive and the encoder,
using the shortest possible links (pig-tails).
•The cable should not be interrupted. If interruptions are unavoidable,
ensure the absolute minimum length of "pig-tail" in the shield
connections at each interruption. Use a connection method that
provides substantial metallic clamps for the cable shield
terminations.
The above applies where the encoder body is isolated from the motor
and where the encoder circuit is isolated from the encoder body. Where
there is no isolation between the encoder circuits and motor body, and in
case of doubt, the following additional requirements must be observed to
give the best possible noise immunity.
•The shields must be directly clamped to the encoder and to the
drives grounding bracket. This may be achieved by clamping of the
individual shields or by providing an additional overall shield that is
clamped.
The recommendations of the encoder manufacturer should also be
adhered to for the encoder connections.
In order to guarantee maximum noise immunity for any application
double shielded cable as shown should be used.
In some cases single shielding of each pair of differential signals cables,
or a single overall shield with individual shield on the thermistor
connections is sufficient. In these cases all the shields should be
connected to ground and 0V at both ends.
If the 0V is required to be left floating a cable with individual shields and
an overall shield must be used.
Figure 4-21 and Figure 4-22 illustrate the preferred construction of cable
and the method of clamping. The outer sheath of the cable should be
stripped back enough to allow the clamp to be installed. The shield must
not be broken or opened at this point. The clamps should be installed
close to the drive or feedback device, with the ground connections made
to a ground plate or similar metallic ground surface.

Description
Mentor MP User Guide 55
Issue: 4 www.controltechniques.com
This chapter introduces the user interfaces, menu structure and security level of the drive.
5.1 Understanding the display
There are two types of keypad available for the Mentor MP. The SM-Keypad has an LED display, and the MP-Keypad has an LCD display.
5.1.1 SM-Keypad (LED)
The display consists of two horizontal rows of 7 segment LED displays.
The upper display shows the drive status or the current menu and
parameter number being viewed.
The lower display shows the parameter value or the specific trip type.
Figure 5-1 SM-KeypadFigure 5-2 MP-Keypad
The red stop button is also used to reset the drive.
5.1.2 MP-Keypad (LCD)
The display consists of three lines of text.
The top line shows the drive status or the current menu and parameter
number being viewed on the left, and the parameter value or the specific
trip type on the right.
The lower two lines show the parameter name or the help text.
UL
information
5.2 Keypad operation
Control buttons
The keypad consists of:
1. Joypad - used to navigate the parameter structure and change
parameter values.
2. Mode button - used to change between the display modes –
parameter view, parameter edit, status.
3. Three control buttons - used to control the drive if keypad mode is
selected.
4. Help button (MP-Keypad only) - displays text briefly describing the
selected parameter.
The Help button toggles between other display modes and parameter
help mode. The up and down functions on the joypad scroll the help text
to allow the whole string to be viewed. The right and left functions on the
joypad have no function when help text is being viewed.
The display examples in this section show the SM-Keypad, seven
segment, LED display. The examples are the same for the MP-Keypad,
The exceptions is that the information displayed on the lower row on the
SM-Keypad is displayed on the right hand side of the top row on the MPKeypad.

5.3 Menu 0 (sub block)
Menu 0 can be accessed by 2 methods:
1. Pr 11.4 4 (SE14, 0.35) = 0. Sub block mode.
2. Pr 11.4 4 (SE14, 0.35) <>0. Linear mode.
Menu 23 contains the parameters to allow menu 0 to be customized in
sub block mode. The first sub block is a user defined area (USEr) which
is configured by the parameters in menu 22. As default there are no
parameters configured to the user sub block and so it is empty. The next
7 sub blocks are pre-defined. Access to the pre-defined blocks is
enabled or disabled by Pr 23.03 to Pr 23.09.
Movement between sub blocks is achieved with the left and right keys.
Pr 23.01 contains all the sub block headers.
Table 5-1 and Figure 5-5 show the result of the direction keys when
Pr 11.44 (SE14, 0.35) is set to L1 (0). When Pr 11.4 4 (SE14, 0.35)is not
0 the left and right keys will allow access to the advance parameter set
and menu 0 will become a linear menu.

When moving to the user block header, the user block header is only
displayed if there are some valid parameters in the block. When moving
between pre-defined header blocks the pre-defined header block is only
displayed if the pre-defined block is enabled.
When moving between parameters within a block, only valid parameters
are displayed.

Coding
The coding defines the attributes of the parameter as follows.
CodingAttribute
{X.XX} Copied Mneu 0 or advanced parameter
Bit1 bit parameter: ‘On’ or ‘OFF’ on the display
BiBipolar parameter
UniUnipolar parameter
TxtText: the parameter uses text strings instead of numbers.
SPSpare: not used
Filtered: some parameters which can have rapidly changing
FI
values are filtered when displayed on the drive keypad for
easy viewing.
Destination pointer parameter: This parameter can be used
DE
to set up the location (i.e. menu/parameter number) where
the destination data is to be routed.
Variable maximum: the maximum of this parameter can
VM
vary.
Decimal place: indicates the number of decimal places used
DP
by this parameter.
No default: when defaults are loaded (except when the drive
ND
is manufactured or on EEPROM failure) this parameter is
not modified.
Rating dependant: this parameter is likely to have different
values and ranges with drives of different voltage and
current ratings. Parameters with this attribute will not be
transferred to the destination drive by a SMARTCARD when
the rating of the destination drive is different from the source
RA
drive if the drive voltage ratings are different or the file is a
parameter file. However, the value will be transferred if only
the current rating is different and the file is a differences
from default type file.
Not copied: not transferred to or from SMARTCARD during
NC
copying.
NVNot visible: not visible on the keypad.
PTProtected: cannot be used as a destination.
User save: saved in drive EEPROM when the user initiates
US
a parameter save.
RWRead/write: can be written by the user.
RORead only: can only be read by the user
Bit default one/unsigned: Bit parameters with this flag set to
one have a default of one (all other bit parameters have a
BU
default of zero. Non-bit parameters are unipolar if this flag is
one.
Power-down save: parameter automatically saved in drive
EEPROM when the under volts (UV) trip occurs. Power-
PS
down save parameters are also saved in the drive when the
user initiates a parameter save.

5.6 Menu structure
The drive parameter structure consists of menus and parameters.
The drive initially powers up in sub menu mode. Once Level 2 access
(L2) has been enabled (refer to Pr 11.44 (SE14, 0.35)) the left and right
buttons are used to navigate between numbered menus.
For further information, refer to section 5.13 Parameter access level and security on page 62.
Figure 5-7 Menu structure
The menus and parameters roll over in both directions.
For example:
•If the last parameter is displayed, a further press will cause the
display to roll-over and show the first parameter.
•When changing between menus the drive remembers which
parameter was last viewed in a particular menu and will display that
parameter. The menus and parameters roll over in both directions.
5.5 Menu 0 (linear)
Menu 0 is used to bring together various commonly used parameters for
basic easy set up of the drive.
Appropriate parameters are copied from the advanced menus into menu
0 and thus exist in both locations.
For further information, refer to section 5.3 Menu 0 (sub block) on
page 58.

5.8 Saving parameters
When changing a parameter in Menu 0, the new value is saved when
pressing the Mode button to return to parameter view mode from
parameter edit mode.
If parameters have been changed in the advanced menus, then the
change will not be saved automatically. A save function must be carried
out.
Procedure
1. Enter SAVE in Pr xx.00
2. Either:
•Press the redreset button
•Toggle the reset digital input, or
•Carry out a drive reset through serial communications by
setting Pr 10.38 to 100 (ensure that Pr xx.00 returns to 0).
5.9 Restoring parameter defaults
Restoring parameter defaults by this method saves the default values in
the drive’s memory. (Pr 11.44 (SE14, 0.35) and Pr 11.30 are not affected
by this procedure).
Procedure
1. Ensure the drive is not enabled, i.e. terminal 31 is open or Pr 6.15 is
OFF (0)
2. Select Eur or USA in Pr xx.00.

5.13 Parameter access level and security
The parameter access levels determine whether the user has access to
Menu 0 (in sub block mode) only or to all of the advanced menus (Menus
1 to 23), in addition to Menu 0 (in linear mode).
The user security determines whether the access to the user is read only
or read write.
The user security and the parameter access level can operate
independently of each other as shown in Table 5-5 .

5.13.2 Setting user security
Enter a value between 1 and 999 in Pr 11. 30 and press the button;
the security code has now been set to this value. To activate the security,
the access level must be set to Loc in Pr 11.44 (SE14, 0.35). When the
drive is reset, the security code will have been activated and the drive
returns to access level L1. The value of Pr 11.30 will return to 0 in order
to hide the security code. At this point, the only parameter that can be
changed by the user is the access level Pr 11.44 (SE14, 0.35).
5.13.3 Unlocking user security
Select a read write parameter to be edited and press the button; the
upper display will now show CodE.
Use the arrow buttons to set the security code and press the button.
With the correct security code entered, the display will revert to the
parameter selected in edit mode. If an incorrect security code is entered
the display will revert to parameter view mode.
To lock the user security again, set Pr 11. 44 (SE14, 0.35) to Loc and
press the reset button.

5.14 Serial communications
5.14.1 Introduction
The Mentor MP has a standard 2-wire EIA485 interface (serial
communications interface) which enables all drive set-up, operation and
monitoring to be carried out with a PC or controller if required. Therefore,
it is possible to control the drive entirely by serial communications
without the need for a keypad or other control cabling. The drive
supports two protocols selected by parameter configuration:
•Modbus RTU
•CT ANSI
Modbus RTU has been set as the default protocol, as it is used with the
PC-tools commissioning/start-up software as provided on the CD ROM.
The serial communications port of the drive is a RJ45 socket, which is
isolated from the power stage and the other control terminals (see
section 4.10 Serial communications connections on page 48 for
connection and isolation details).
The communications port applies a 2 unit load to the communications
network.
USB/EIA232 to EIA485 Communications
An external USB/EIA232 hardware interface such as a PC cannot be
used directly with the 2-wire EIA485 interface of the drive. Therefore a
suitable converter is required.
Suitable USB to EIA485 and EIA232 to EIA485 isolated converters are
available from Control Techniques as follows:
•CT USB Comms cable (CT Part No. 4500-0096)
•CT EIA232 Comms cable (CT Part No. 4500-0087)
When using one of the above converters or any other suitable converter
with the Mentor MP, it is recommended that no terminating resistors be
connected on the network. It may be necessary to 'link out' the
terminating resistor within the converter depending on which type is
used. The information on how to link out the terminating resistor will
normally be contained in the user information supplied with the
converter.
5.14.2 Serial communications set-up parameters
The following parameters need to be set according to the system
requirements.

This parameter defines the communications protocol used by the 485

keypad, via a Solutions Module or via the comms interface itself. If it is
changed via the comms interface, the response to the command uses
the original protocol. The master should wait at least 20ms before
sending a new message using the new protocol. (Note: ANSI uses 7
data bits, 1 stop bit and even parity; Modbus RTU uses 8 data bits, 2
stops bits and no parity.)

ANSI
When the ANSI protocol is used the first digit is the group and the
second digit is the address within a group. The maximum permitted
group number is 9 and the maximum permitted address within a group is
9. Therefore, Pr 11. 23 (Si02, 0.67) is limited to 99 in this mode. The
value 00 is used to globally address all slaves on the system, and x0 is
used to address all slaves of group x, therefore these addresses should
not be set in this parameter.
Modbus RTU
When the Modbus RTU protocol is used addresses between 0 and 247
are permitted. Address 0 is used to globally address all slaves, and so
this address should not be set in this parameter.

6.1.2 Parameter x.00 reset
When an action is started by setting Pr x.00 to one of the above values
and initiating a drive reset this parameter is cleared when the action is
completed successfully. If the action is not started, e.g. because the
drive is enabled and an attempt is made to load defaults, etc., Pr x.00 is
not cleared and no trip is produced. If the action is started and then fails
for some reason a trip is always produced and Pr x.00 is not cleared. It
should be noted that parameter saves etc. can also be initiated with the
copying parameter (Pr 11.42 (SE09, 0.30)). If actions that can be
initiated by either parameter are started and then completed successfully
Pr x.00 is cleared and Pr 11.42 (SE09, 0.30) is cleared if it has a value of
less than 3.
It should be noted that there could be some conflict between the actions
of Pr x.00 and Pr 11.42 (SE09, 0.30) Parameter copying when the drive
is reset. If Pr 11.42 (SE09, 0.30) has a value of 1 or 2 and a valid action
is required from the value of Pr x.00 then only the action required by
Pr x.00 is performed. Pr x.00 and Pr 11.42 (SE09, 0.30) are then reset to
zero. If Pr 11.42 (SE09, 0.30) has a value of 3 or 4 it will operate
correctly causing parameters to be save to a SMARTCARD each time a
parameter save is performed.

When all bits = 0, Pr 1.49 =1
Pr 1.41 = 1 then Pr 1.49 = 2
Pr 1.42 = 1 then Pr 1.49 = 3
Pr 1.43 = 1 then Pr 1.49 = 4

If this parameter is set to a non-zero value, the drive is enabled and a

direction if di12 (Pr 0.47, 1.12) = 0 or the reverse direction if di12
(Pr 0.47, 1.12) = 1. For example, if the test is initiated by applying run
reverse (Pr 6.32 = 1) the test is performed in the reverse direction. The
test will not start unless the drive is disabled before the test is initiated by
applying the enable or run, i.e. it will not start if the drive is in the stop
state. It is not possible to go into the stop state if di12 (Pr 0.47, 1.12) has
a non-zero value.
When the test is completed successfully the drive is disabled and will
enter the inhibit state. The motor can only be restarted if the enable is

The 16ms sliding window filter is always applied to the value
shown in di05 (Pr 0.40, 3.02), but this sliding window filter is not
normally applied to the actual speed feedback used by the speed
controller or the drive encoder reference system (Pr 3.43 to
Pr 3.46). The user may apply a filter to the speed controller input and the
drive encoder reference system input if required by setting Pr 3.42 to the
required filter time. The encoder ripple seen by the speed controller is
given by:
Encoder speed ripple = 60 / Filter time / (ELPR x 4)
If Pr 3.42 is set to zero (no filter) the ripple seen by the speed controller
and drive encoder reference system is given by:
Encoder speed ripple = 60 / 250μs / (ELPR x 4)

The speed feedback can be taken from the drive encoder port or
tachometer or armature voltage or a position feedback module installed
in any slot as selected with Fb01 (Pr 0.71, 3.26). di05 (Pr 0.40, 3.02)
shows the level of the speed feedback selected for the speed controller.
Display filtering is active when this parameter is viewed with one of the
drive keypads. The value held in the drive parameter (accessible via
comms or an option module) does not include this filter, but is a value
that is obtained over a sliding 16ms period to limit the ripple seen in this
parameter value. The speed feedback value includes encoder
quantization ripple given by the following equation:
Ripple in di05 (Pr 0.40, 3.02) = 60 / 16ms / (ELPR x 4)
Where ELPR is the equivalent encoder lines per revolution as defined
overleaf:
Figure 6-1 shows the filter arrangement. It should be noted that the
same filtering is provided at the speed controller input and for di05
(Pr 0.40, 3.02) when the feedback is obtained from an option module,
but the variable length window filter is controlled by Pr x.19.
It is not advisable to set the speed feedback filter too high unless it is
specifically required for high inertia applications with high controller
gains because the filter has a non-linear transfer function. It is preferable
to use the current demand filters (see Pr 4.12 or Pr 4.23) as these are
linear first order filters that provide filtering on noise generated from both
the speed reference and the speed feedback. It should be noted that any
filtering included within the speed controller feedback loop, either on the
speed feedback or the current demand, introduces a delay and limits the
maximum bandwidth of the controller for stable operation.
The speed ripple can be quite high, for example with a 4096 line encoder
the speed ripple is 14.6rpm, but this does not define the resolution of the
speed feedback which is normally much better and depends on the
length of the measuring period used to obtain the feedback. This is
shown in the improved resolution of the value accessible in di05
(Pr
0.40, 3.02) which is measured over 16ms, i.e. a resolution of
0.23rpm with a 4096 line encoder. The speed controller itself
accumulates all pulses from the encoder, and so the speed controller
resolution is not limited by the feedback, but by the resolution of the
speed reference. If a SINCOS encoder is used from an option the
encoder speed ripple is reduced by a factor of 2
(2-Interpolation bits)
. For
example with the nominal 10 bits of interpolation information, the speed
ripple is reduced by a factor of 256. This shows how a SINCOS encoder
can reduce noise caused by encoder quantization without any filtering in
the speed feedback or the current demand, so that high gains may be
used to give high dynamic performance and a very stiff system.

7 Running the motor
This chapter takes the new user through all the essential steps to
running a motor for the first time, in each of the possible operating
modes.
Ensure that no damage or safety hazard could arise from the
motor starting unexpectedly.
The values of the motor parameters affect the protection of
the motor.
The default values in the drive should not be relied upon.
It is essential that the correct value is entered in Pr 5.07
(SE07, 0.28) Motor rated current. This affects the thermal
protection of the motor.
If the keypad mode has been used previously, ensure that
the keypad reference has been set to 0 using the
buttons as if the drive is started using the keypad it will run to
the speed defined by the keypad reference (Pr 1.17).
If the intended maximum speed affects the safety of the
machinery, additional independent over-speed protection
must be used.

Mentor MP is able to perform either a static, rotating or continuous autotune. The motor must be at a standstill
before an autotune is enabled.
Static autotune for current loop gains
When this operation is performed the drive will perform an estimation of Motor constant (Pr 5.15), Continuous
proportional gain (Pr 4.13), Continuous integral gain (Pr 4.14), Discontinuous integral gain (Pr 4.34), Back
EMF set point (Pr 5.59), Armature resistance (Pr 5.61) and Flux loop I gain (Pr 5.72) with respect to the

selected motor map and store the values.
To perform a static autotune:
•Set Pr 5.12 (SE13, 0.34)= 1
•Close the Drive Enable signal (terminal 31). The drive will display ‘rdY’
•Close the run signal (terminal 26 or 27). The lower display will flash ‘Auto’ and ‘tunE’ alternatively, while
the drive is performing the autotune
•Remove the enable signal when the autotune has finished
•Remove the run signal
•Close the enable signal. Close the run signal (terminal 26 or 27). Provide speed reference to run the drive
up to a low speed, the drive will regulate its own estimated speed.
•Check that the feedback device is functioning correctly:
•When the feedback device being used is seen to be functioning correctly, stop the drive and select the
correct feedback device using Pr 3.26 (Fb01, Pr 0.71)
For improved estimated speed accuracy and torque control in the field weakening range a rotating autotune is

ActionDetail
Mentor MP is able to perform either a static, rotating or continuous autotune. The motor must be at a standstill
before an autotune is enabled.
Static autotune for current loop gains
When this operation is performed the drive will perform an estimation of Motor constant (Pr 5.15), Continuous
proportional gain (Pr 4.13), Continuous integral gain (Pr 4.14), Discontinuous integral gain (Pr 4.34), Back
EMF set point (Pr 5.59), Armature resistance (Pr 5.61) and Flux loop I gain (Pr 5.72) with respect to the
selected motor map and store the values.
To perform a static autotune:
Static autotune
•Set Pr 5.12 (SE13, 0.34)= 1
•Close the Drive Enable signal (terminal 31). The drive will display ‘rdY’
•Close the run signal (terminal 26 or 27). The lower display will flash ‘Auto’ and ‘tunE’ alternatively, while
the drive is performing the autotune
•Remove the enable signal when the autotune has finished
•Remove the run signal
A rotating autotune Pr 5.12 (SE13, 0.34) = 2 should not be carried out when the field controller is in voltage
mode, Pr 5.75 = On (USA default).
•Close the enable signal. Close the run signal (terminal 26 or 27). Provide speed reference to run the drive
up to a low speed, the drive will regulate its own estimated speed.
Checking speed
feedback
•Check that the feedback device is functioning correctly:
•When the feedback device being used is seen to be functioning correctly, stop the drive and select the
correct feedback device using Pr 3.26 (Fb01, Pr 0.71).

Before attempting to tune the drive the following data is required
•Armature full load current
•Armature voltage
•Field current
•Field voltage
•Base speed
•Maximum speed
In the following worked example the data below has been used
•Armature full load current = 67A with an overload of 90A for up to 30
seconds
•Armature voltage = 500V
•Field current = 1.85A
•Field voltage = 300V
•Base speed = 1750 rpm
•Maximum speed = 2500rpm
8.1 Armature current
•Set the motor rated current in Pr 5.07 (SE07, 0.28) to 67A.
•Set current limits in Pr 4.05 and Pr 4.06 to 90/67 x 100 = 134%
•Set the motor thermal time constant in Pr 4.15 = -30 / ln(1 - (1.05 /
8.2 Speed feedback
8.2.1 Estimated speed feedback
For estimated speed feedback set Pr 3.26 (Fb01, 0.71) to ESt SPd. This
uses an estimated speed feedback based on the motor back emf, motor
rated speed, motor rated voltage, armature resistance, armature current
and field flux feedback.
8.2.2 Tachometer speed feedback
For tachometer speed feedback set Pr 3.26 (Fb01, 0.71) to tACHO. Set
the tachometer voltage rating in V/1000rpm in Pr 3.51 (Fb02, 0.72) and
the tachometer input mode Pr 3.53 (Fb03, 0.73) to suit the type of
tachometer used.
8.2.3 Encoder speed feedback
For encoder speed feedback set Pr 3.26 (Fb01, 0.71) to drv. Set the
lines per revolution (Pr 3.34 (Fb05, 0.75)), encoder supply voltage
(Pr 3.36 (Fb06, 0.76)) and encoder type (Pr 3.38 (Fb07, 0.77)).
8.2.4 Solutions Module speed feedback
If an Solutions Module is being used to provide speed feedback then
Pr 3.26 (Fb01, 0.71) should be set to SLot1, SLot2, or SLot3.
8.3 Field current
The rated field current is set in Pr 5.70 (SE10, 0.31). When the field
current equals the compensated rated field current (see Pr 5.74), 100%
field flux is produced.
8.3.1 Field weakening with a speed feedback device
If field weakening is required the field compensation factor (Pr 5.74), the
motor saturation breakpoints (Pr 5.29, Pr 5.30) and the voltage at which
field weakening is required to begin (Pr 5.59) must be set.
Setting up the drive in field weakening is straightforward when a speed
feedback device is available. The rotating autotune (Pr 5.12 (SE13,
0.34) = 2) automatically sets up the parameters above. Follow the quick
start commissioning / start-up (from European defaults) as shown in
Table 6-1 on page 64 to set up the drive. Enable field weakening
(Pr 5.64 = On). Save parameters.
For field weakening from USA defaults Pr 5.75Field voltage mode
should be set to OFF. Pr 5.28 Field weakening compensation disable
should be set to OFF. Follow the quick start commissioning / start-up
(from European defaults) as shown in Table 6-1 on page 64 to set up the
drive. Enable field weakening (Pr 5.64 = On). Save parameters.

) = 31.5
8.3.2 Field weakening in estimated speed mode (no
speed feedback device)
The Rotating Autotune (Pr 5.12 (SE13, 0.34) = 2) sets up the field
controller for more accurate flux control and open loop speed accuracy.
The rotating autotune needs to know the motor speed and so a speed
feedback device has to be connected to the drive before a rotating
autotune can be carried out. In some applications a speed feedback
device may not be required and so the procedure below allows the user
to manually adjust the field controller parameters to achieve better open
loop speed control.
•Follow the quick start commissioning / start-up (from European
defaults) as shown in Table 6-1 Pre-defined sub block parameters on page 64 until a static autotune (Pr 5.12 (SE13, 0.34)
= 1) has been carried out.
•Set Pr 5.64 Field weakening enable to On.
•Ensure that Pr 5.29 , Pr 5.30, Pr 5.68 and Pr 5.74 are set to their
default values of 50%, 75%, 100% and 100% respectively.
•Set the speed demand to 1/4 of Base speed (Pr 5.08 (SE08, 0.29))
and run the machine up to speed and check the speed of the
machine using a hand held device.
•If the machine speed is lower than 1/4 of base speed (which is
normally the case) adjust the Field compensation factor (Pr 5.74)
down until the correct machine speed is reached. If the machine
speed is higher than
nameplate field current is low), adjust the rated field current (Pr 5.70
(SE10, 0.31)) up until the correct machine speed is reached.
•Set Pr 5.68 Maximum flux to 75% and measure the actual speed of
the machine (speed 75)
•Set Pr 5.68 Maximum flux to 50% and measure the actual speed of
the machine (speed 50).
•Stop the machine and set Pr 5.68 Maximum flux back to 100%.
•Set Pr 5.29 Motor saturation breakpoint 1 = 50 x set speed / actual
speed (Speed 50)
•Set Pr 5.30 Motor saturation breakpoint 2 = 75 x set speed / actual
speed (speed 75).
•Save parameters.
For field weakening from USA defaults Pr 5.75Field voltage mode
should be set to OFF. Pr 5.28 Field weakening compensation disable
should be set to OFF. The procedure above should then be followed to
set up the drive for field weakening.

8.3.3 Field economy
Field economy can be used to keep the field energized, at a low level of
current (to prevent overheating), when the motor is not running to
prevent condensation forming in the motor. The field economy level and
the timeout can be adjusted.
To use this function it is necessary to set:
•Set Pr 5.65 to enable the field economy timeout
•Set Pr 5.67 to the percentage of full field that you want to use in
economy mode e.g 10%.
•Set Pr 5.66 to the time after the drive enable signal is removed to the
field current reducing to the economy level.
8.4 Current loop gains self-tuning
For optimum performance the current loop must be set-up. The
dynamics of the current loop are principally a function of the electrical
characteristics of a particular motor.
The drive determines the electrical characteristics of the motor by
injecting current into the armature winding.
8.4.1 Static autotune for current loop gains
If Pr 5.12 (SE13, 0.34) is set to a 1, the drive is enabled and a run
command is applied in either direction the drive performs a static
autotune test. The test will not start unless the drive is disabled and
before the test is initiated by applying the enable or run, i.e. it will not
start unless the drive is in a stop state.

Information
When this operation is performed the drive will determine the Motor
constant (Pr 5.15), Continuous proportional gain (Pr 4.13), Continuous
integral gain (Pr 4.14), Discontinuous integral gain (Pr 4.34), Back EMF
set point (Pr 5.59), Armature resistance (Pr 5.60) and Flux loop I gain
(Pr 5.72) with respect to the selected motor map and store the values.
8.4.2 Continuous autotune for current loop gains
In the static autotune the armature current loop gains are set up with no
flux in the motor. In some motors the inductance of the armature
changes significantly when flux is present in the machine. If this is the
case, a continuous autotune can be enabled to correct the gains for the
fluxed machine.
When Pr 5.26 is set to On, the continuous autotune is enabled which
continuously monitors the motor ripple and adjusts Motor constant
(Pr 5.15), Continuous proportional gain (Pr 4.13) and Discontinuous integral gain (Pr 4.34) for optimum performance.
The static autotune should still be carried out because Continuous integral gain (Pr 4.14) is not set by the continuous autotune.
Calculation of the gains is suspended when the voltage field weakening
loop becomes active so that the gains are not increased when the field is
weakened (less flux in the machine).
This function does not operate when the drives are set-up in serial 12
pulse.
8.4.3 Drive commissioning output
The Mentor MP has a test pin that gives instantaneous armature current
feedback. The pin is identified by a half sign wave symbol and is located
to the right of the tachometer terminals. An oscilloscope probe can be
attached to this pin to monitor the armature current.
8.5 Speed loop gains tuning
The speed loop gains control the response of the speed controller to a
change in speed demand. The speed controller includes proportional
(Kp) and integral (Ki) feed forward terms, and a differential (Kd)
feedback term. The drive holds two sets of these gains and either set
may be selected for use by the speed controller with Pr 3.16
Pr 3.16 may be changed when the drive is enabled or disabled.
•If Pr 3.16 = 0 - gains Kp1, Ki1 and Kd1 are used
•If Pr 3.16 = 1 - gains Kp2, Ki2 and Kd2 are used
8.5.1 Proportional gain (Kp) Pr 3.10 (SP01, 0.61)and
If Kp has a value and the integral gain Ki is set to zero the controller will
only have a proportional term, and there must be a speed error to
produce a torque reference. Therefore as the motor load increases there
will be a difference between the reference and actual speeds.
This effect, called regulation, depends on the level of the proportional
gain, the higher the gain the smaller the speed error for a given load.
If the proportional gain is too high either the acoustic noise produced by
speed feedback quantization becomes unacceptable, or the stability limit
is reached.
8.5.2 Integral gain (Ki) Pr 3.11 (SP02, 0.62) and
The integral gain is provided to prevent speed regulation. The error is
accumulated over a period of time and used to produce the necessary
torque demand without any speed error. Increasing the integral gain
reduces the time taken for the speed to reach the correct level and
increases the stiffness of the system, i.e. it reduces the positional
displacement produced by applying a load torque to the motor.
Unfortunately increasing the integral gain also reduces the system
damping giving overshoot after a transient. For a given integral gain the
damping can be improved by increasing the proportional gain. A
compromise must be reached where the system response, stiffness and
damping are all adequate for the application. The term is implemented in
the form of
the controller is active without causing large torque demand transients.

8.5.3 Differential gain (Kd) Pr 3.12 (SP03, 0.63) and
Pr 3.15
The differential gain is provided in the feedback of the speed controller to
give additional damping. The differential term is implemented in a way
that does not introduce excessive noise normally associated with this
type of function. Increasing the differential term reduces the overshoot
produced by under-damping, however, for most applications the
proportional and integral gains alone are sufficient.
8.5.4 Manually setting up the speed loop gains
Figure 8-1 Responses
There are two methods of tuning the speed loop gains dependant on the
setting of Pr 3.17:
1. Pr 3.17 = 0, User set-up.
This involves the connecting of an oscilloscope to analog output 1 to
monitor the speed feedback. Give the drive a step change in speed
reference and monitor the response of the drive on the oscilloscope.
The proportional gain (Kp) should be set up initially. The value should be
increased up to the point where the speed overshoots and then reduced
slightly.
The integral gain (Ki) should then be increased up to the point where the
speed becomes unstable and then reduced slightly.
It may now be possible to increase the proportional gain to a higher
value and the process should be repeated until the system response
matches the ideal response as shown.
Figure 8-1 shows the effect of incorrect P and I gain settings as well as
the ideal response.
2. Pr 3.17 = 1, Bandwidth set-up
If bandwidth based set-up is required, the drive can calculate Kp and Ki
if the following parameters are set up correctly:
Pr 3.18 - Motor and load inertia - it is possible to measure the load inertia
as part of the auto-tuning process (see Pr 5.12 (SE13, 0.34)).
Pr 3.20 - Required bandwidth,
Pr 3.21 - Required damping factor,
Pr 5.32 - Motor torque per amp (Kt).

8.5.5 Speed loop gains for very high inertia
Pr 3.17 = 2 - Kp gain times 16
If this parameter is set to 2 the Kp gain (from whichever source), is
multiplied by 16. This is intended to boost the range of Kp for
applications with very high inertia. It should be noted that if high values
of Kp are used it is likely that the speed controller output will need to be
filtered, see (Pr 3.42). If the feedback is not filtered it is possible that the
output of the speed controller will be a square wave that changes
between the current limits causing the integral term saturation system to
malfunction.
8.6 Current limit tapers
With some motors the commutation limit of the motor requires that the
maximum armature current be reduced at higher speeds, the current
limit tapers can be used to provide this speed dependent current limit.

9 SMARTCARD operation
9.1 Introduction
This is a standard feature that enables simple configuration of
parameters in a variety of ways. The SMARTCARD can be used for:
•Parameter copying between drives
•Saving whole drive parameter sets
•Saving ‘differences from default‘ parameter sets
•Storing Onboard PLC programs
•Automatically saving all user parameter changes for maintenance
purposes
•Loading complete motor map parameters.
Refer to Figure 9-1 for installing the SMARTCARD. Ensure the
SMARTCARD is inserted with the MP arrow pointing upwards.
The drive only communicates with the SMARTCARD when commanded
to read or write, this means that the card may be ‘hot swapped’.
Figure 9-1 Installation of the SMARTCARD
9.2 Easy saving and reading
The SMARTCARD has 999 individual data block locations. Each
individual location from 1 to 499 can be used to store data.
The drive can support SMARTCARDS that have a capacity of between
4kB and 512kB.
The usage of the data block locations in the SMARTCARD are shown in
Table 9-1.
Table 9-1 SMARTCARD data blocks
Data blockTypeExample of usage
1 to 499Read / WriteApplication set-up
500 to 999Read OnlyMacros
Parameter sets labelled as ‘Differences from default‘ will be much
smaller than whole parameter sets. Therefore they use a lot less
memory because most applications only require a few parameters to be
changed from the default setting.
The whole card may be protected from writing or erasing by setting the
read-only flag as shown in section 9.3.9 9888 / 9777 - Set / clear the SMARTCARD read only flag on page 83.
Either of these indications will tell the user that data is being transferred

The card should not be removed during data transfer because the drive
will trip. If a trip occurs you must either try to transfer the data again or, in
the case of a card-to-drive transfer, the default parameters should be
loaded.

4yyy - Write default differences to a SMARTCARD
The data block only contains the parameter differences from the last
time default settings were loaded.
Six bytes are required for each parameter difference. The data density is
not as high as when using the 3yyy transfer method as described in the
section 3yyy - Transfer data to the SMARTCARD but in most cases the
number of differences from default is small and the data blocks are
therefore smaller. This method can be used for creating drive macros.
PS parameters are not transferred to the SMARTCARD.
Writing a parameter set to the SMARTCARD
Setting Pr 11.42 (SE09, 0.30) to Prog (2) and resetting the drive will save
the parameters to the SMARTCARD, i.e. this is equivalent to writing
3001 to Pr xx.00. All SMARTCARD trips apply except 'C.Chg'. If the data
block already exists it is automatically overwritten.
When the action is complete this parameter is automatically reset to
nonE (0).
9.3.2 Reading from the SMARTCARD
6yyy - Read default differences from a SMARTCARD
When the data is transferred back to a drive, using 6yyy in Pr xx.00, it is
transferred to the drive RAM and the drive EEPROM. A parameter save
is not required to retain the data after power-down. Set-up data for any
Solutions Modules installed are stored on the card and are transferred to
the destination drive. If the Solutions Modules are different between the
source and destination drive, the menus for the slots where the
Solutions Module categories are different are not updated from the card
and will contain their default values after the copying action.
The drive will produce a 'C.Optn' trip if the Solutions Modules installed to
the source and destination drive are different or are in different slots. If
the data is being transferred to a drive of a different voltage or current
rating a 'C.rtg' trip will occur.
Table 9-3 lists the rating dependent parameters (RA coding bit set) that
will not be written to the destination drive and will contain their default
values after the copying action.
Table 9-3 Rating dependent parameters
Parameter Function
4.05Current limit
4.06Current limit
4.07Current limit
4.24User current maximum scaling
5.07 (SE07, 0.28) Motor rated current
5.09 (SE06, 0.27) Armature rated voltage
Reading a parameter set from the SMARTCARD
Setting Pr 11.42 (SE09, 0.30) to rEAd (1) and resetting the drive will
transfer the parameters from the card into the drive parameter set and
the drive EEPROM, i.e. this is equivalent to writing 6001 to Pr xx.00. All
SMARTCARD trips apply. Once the parameters are successfully copied
this parameter is automatically reset to nonE (0). Parameters are saved
to the drive EEPROM after this action is complete.
This operation is only performed if data block 1 on the card is a full
parameter set (3yyy transfer) and not a default difference file (4yyy
transfer). If data block 1 does not exist a 'C.dAt' trip occurs.
9.3.3 Auto saving parameter changes
This setting causes the drive to automatically save any changes made to
Menu 0 parameters on the drive to the SMARTCARD. The latest Menu 0
parameter set in the drive is therefore always backed up on the
SMARTCARD.
Changing Pr 11.42 (SE09, 0.30) to Auto (3) and resetting the drive will
immediately save the complete parameter set from the drive to the card,
i.e. all User Save (US) parameters except parameters with the NC
coding bit set. Once the whole parameter set is stored only the individual
modified menu 0 parameter setting is updated.
Advanced parameter changes are only saved to the card when Pr xx.00
is set to a 1000 and the drive reset.

information
All SMARTCARD trips apply, except ‘C.Chg’. If the data block already
contains information it is automatically overwritten.
If the card is removed when Pr 11.42 (SE09, 0.30) is set to 3, Pr 11.42
(SE09, 0.30) is then automatically set to nonE (0).
When a new SMARTCARD is installed Pr 11.42 (SE09, 0.30) must be
set back to Auto (3) by the user and the drive reset so the complete
parameter set is rewritten to the new SMARTCARD if auto mode is still
required.
When Pr 11.42 (SE09, 0.30) is set to Auto (3) and the parameters in the
drive are saved, the SMARTCARD is also updated, therefore the
SMARTCARD becomes a copy of the drives stored configuration.
At power up, if Pr 11.42 (SE09, 0.30) is set to Auto (3), the drive will save
the complete parameter set to the SMARTCARD. The drive will display
‘cArd’ during this operation. This is done to ensure that if a user puts a
new SMARTCARD in during power down the new SMARTCARD will
have the correct data.
When Pr 11.42 (SE09, 0.30) is set to Auto (3) the setting of Pr 11.42
(SE09, 0.30) itself is saved to the drive EEPROM but NOT to the
SMARTCARD.
9.3.4 Booting up from the SMARTCARD on every
power up (Pr 11.42 (SE09, 0.30) = boot (4))
When Pr 11.42 (SE09, 0.30) is set to boot (4) the drive operates the
same as Auto mode, except when the drive is powered up. The
parameters on the SMARTCARD will be automatically transferred to the
drive at power-up if the following are true:
•A card is inserted in the drive
•Parameter data block 1 exists on the card
•The data in block 1 is type 1 to 5 (as defined in Pr 11.38)
•Pr 11.42 (SE09, 0.30) on the card set to boot (4)
The drive will display 'boot' during this operation. If the drive mode is
different from that on the card, the drive gives a 'C.Typ' trip and the data
is not transferred.
If 'boot' mode is stored on the copying SMARTCARD this makes the
copying SMARTCARD the master device. This provides a very fast and
efficient way of re-programming a number of drives.
If data block 1 contains a bootable parameter set and data block 2
contains an Onboard PLC program (type 17 as defined in Pr 11 .38), then
the onboard PLC program will be transferred to the drive at power up
along with the parameter set in data block 1.
“Boot” mode is saved to the card, but when the card is read, the value of
Pr 11.42 (SE09, 0.30) is not transferred to the drive.
9.3.5 Booting up from the SMARTCARD on every
power up (Pr xx.00 = 2001)
It is possible to create a difference from default bootable file by setting
Pr xx.00 to 2001 and resetting the drive. This type of file causes the
drive to behave in the same way at power-up as a file created with boot
mode set up with Pr 11.42 (SE09, 0.30). The difference from the default
file is that it has the added advantage of including Menu 20 parameters.
Setting Pr xx.00 to 2001 will overwrite data block 1 on the card, if it
already exists.
If a data block 2 exists and contains an Onboard PLC program (type 17
as defined in Pr 11. 38 ), this will also be loaded after the parameters have
been transferred.
A bootable difference from default file can only be created in one
operation and parameters cannot be added as they are saved via Menu
0.
9.3.6 Comparing drive full parameter set with the
SMARTCARD values
Setting 8yyy in Pr xx.00, will compare the SMARTCARD file with the
data in the drive:
•If the compare is successful Pr xx.00 is simply set to 0
•If the compare fails a ‘C.cpr’ trip is initiated

Data can be erased from the SMARTCARD one data block at a time or
with data blocks 1 to 499 in selected together.
•Setting 7yyy in Pr xx.00 will erase SMARTCARD data block yyy

1. If the Solutions Module(s) installed to the source and destination
drive are different, or are in different slots, the drive will produce a
'C.Optn' trip.
2. If the data is being transferred to a drive of a different voltage or
current rating a 'C.rtg' trip will occur.
It is possible to suppress these trips by setting the warning suppression
flag. If this flag is set the drive will not trip if the Solutions Module(s) or
drive ratings are different between the source and the destination drives.
The Solutions Module or rating dependent parameters will not be
transferred.
•Setting 9666 in Pr xx.00 will set the warning suppression flag
•Setting 9555 in Pr xx.00 will clear the warning suppression flag
9.3.9 9888 / 9777 - Set / clear the SMARTCARD read
only flag
The SMARTCARD may be protected from writing or erasing by setting
the read only flag. If an attempt is made to write or erase a data block
when the read only flag is set, a 'C.rdo' trip is initiated.
When the read only flag is set only codes 6yyy or 9777 are effective.
•Setting 9888 in Pr xx.00 will set the read only flag
•Setting 9777 in Pr xx.00 will clear the read only flag
9.4 Data block header information
Each data block stored on a SMARTCARD has header information
detailing the following:
•A number which identifies the data block (Pr 11.37)
•Type of data stored in the data block (Pr 11.38)
•Drive mode if the data is parameter data (Pr 11.38)
•Version number (Pr 11.39)
•Checksum (Pr 11.40)
•Read-only flag
•Warning suppression flag
The header information for each data block that has been used can be
viewed in Pr
number set in Pr
If Pr 11. 37 is set to 1000: the checksum parameter (Pr 11.40) shows the
number of bytes left on the card in 16 byte pages.
If Pr 11. 37 is set to 1001: the checksum parameter (Pr 11.40) shows the
total capacity of the card in 16 byte pages. Therefore, for a 4kB card this
parameter would show 254.
If Pr 11. 37 is set to 1002: the checksum parameter (Pr 11.40) shows the
state of the read-only (bit 0) and warning suppression flags (bit 1).

SMARTCARD trip: The menu 0 parameter modification cannot be saved to the SMARTCARD because the necessary
file has not been created on the SMARTCARD
A write to a Menu 0 parameter has been initiated with the keypad by exiting edit mode and Pr 11.42 (SE09, 0.30) is set for
auto or boot mode. However the necessary boot file has not been created on the SMARTCARD to take the new parameter
value. This occurs when Pr 11.42 (SE09, 0.30) is changed to auto or boot mode, but the drive is not subsequently reset.
SMARTCARD trip: SMARTCARD can not perform the required function as it is being accessed by a Solutions
Module
An attempt has been made to access a SMARTCARD. However an Solutions Module is already accessing the
SMARTCARD.
Parameter data or default difference data is being transferred from a SMARTCARD to the drive, but the Solutions Module
categories are different between source and destination drives. This trip does not stop the data transfer, but is a warning that
the data for the Solutions Modules that are different will be set to the default values and not the values from the card. This trip
also applies if a compare is attempted between the data block and the drive.
An attempt has been made to modify a read-only SMARTCARD (i.e. erase the card, erase a file or create a file). A
SMARTCARD is read-only if the read-only flag has been set or the card contains data blocks with numbers from 500 to 999.
Attempting to create data blocks with numbers from 500 to 999 will always cause a trip.
An attempt has been made to transfer a data block from a SMARTCARD to the drive or to compare a SMARTCARD data
block and the checksum is incorrect or the data structure on the card is incorrect.
An attempt has been made to transfer a data block from a SMARTCARD to the drive or to compare a SMARTCARD data
block and the block does not exist.
An attempt has been made to access a SMARTCARD, but a card is not present or communications failure has occurred
between the drive and the card. This trip is also produced if an attempt is made to access a data block that has already been
opened by an Solutions Module.
Parameter data or default difference data is being transferred from a SMARTCARD to the drive, but the current and /or
voltage ratings are different between source and destination drives. This trip does not stop the data transfer, but is a warning
that the data for the Solutions Modules that are different will be set to the default values and not the values from the card. This
trip also applies if a compare is attempted between the data block and the drive.
This trip is produced during a compare if the drive mode in the data block is different from the current drive mode and the file
is a parameter or defaults differences file. This trip is also produced if an attempt is made to transfer parameters from a
parameter or default difference to the drive if the drive mode in the data block is outside the allowed range of drive modes for
the drive.
A compare has been carried out between a data block on a SMARTCARD and the drive and the compare has failed. This trip
only occurs if the compare has not already failed with the following trips: C.Typ, C.rtg, C.Optn, C.BUSy, C.Acc or C.Err.

10 Onboard PLC
10.1 Onboard PLC and SYPT Lite
The Mentor MP has the ability to store and execute a 6kB Onboard PLC
ladder logic program without the need for additional hardware in the form
of a Solutions Module.
The ladder logic program is written using SYPT Lite, a Windows™
based ladder diagram editor allowing the development of programs for
execution in SM-Applications Plus.
Advantages of SYPT Lite:
•SYPT Lite is designed to be easy to use and to make program
development as simple as possible. The features provided are a
sub-set of those in the SYPT program editor.
•SYPT Lite programs are developed using ladder logic, a graphical
language widely used to program PLCs (IEC 61131-3).
•SYPT Lite allows the user to draw a ladder diagram representing a
program.
•SYPT Lite provides a complete environment for the development of
ladder diagrams. Ladder diagrams can be created, compiled into
user programs and downloaded to SM-Applications Plus for
execution, via the RJ45 serial communications port on the front of
the drive.
•The run-time operation of the compiled ladder diagram on the target
can also be monitored using SYPT Lite and facilities are provided to
interact with the program on the target by setting new values for
target parameters.
•SYPT Lite is available on the CD that is supplied with the drive.
10.2 Benefits
The combination of the Onboard PLC and SYPT Lite means that Mentor
MP can replace nano and some micro PLCs in many applications. The
Onboard PLC programs can consist of up to a maximum of 50 ladder
logic rungs (up to 7 function blocks and 10 contacts per rung). The
Onboard PLC program can also be transferred to and from a
SMARTCARD for backup or quick commissioning / start-up.
In addition to the basic ladder symbols, SYPT Lite contains a sub-set of
the function from the full version of SYPT. These include:
•Arithmetic blocks
•Comparison blocks
•Timers
•Counters
•Multiplexers
•Latches
•Bit manipulation
Typical applications for the Onboard PLC include,
•Ancillary pumps
•Fans and control valves
•Interlocking logic
•Sequences routines
•Custom control words.
10.3 Limitations
Compared with the SM-Applications Plus or SM-Applications Lite V2
modules when programmed with SYPT, the Onboard PLC program has
the following limitations:
•The maximum program size is 6080 bytes including header and
optional source code.
•The Mentor MP is rated for 100 program downloads. This limitation
is imposed by the flash memory used to store the program within the
drive.
•The user cannot create user variables. The user is only able to
manipulate the drive parameter set.
•The program cannot be downloaded or monitored over CTNet. The
program is only accessible via the drives RJ45 serial
communications port.

information
•There are no real-time tasks, i.e. the scheduling rate of the program
cannot be guaranteed. SM-Applications Plus tasks such as Clock,
Event, Pos0 or Speed are not available.
•The Onboard PLC should not be used for time-critical applications.
For time-critical applications either the SM-Applications Plus or SMApplications Lite V2 Solutions Modules should be used.
The program runs at a low priority. The Mentor MP provides a single
background task in which to run a ladder diagram. The drive is prioritized
to perform its major functions first, e.g. motor control, and will use any
remaining processing time to execute the ladder diagram as a
background activity. As the drive's processor becomes more heavily
loaded, less time is spent executing the program.
Figure 10-1 Mentor MP Onboard PLC program scheduling
The user program is scheduled for a short period approximately once
every 64ms. The time for which the program is scheduled will vary
between 0.2ms and 2ms depending on the loading of the drive's
processor.
When scheduled, several scans of the user program may be performed.
Some scans may execute in microseconds. However, when the main
drive functions are scheduled there will be a pause in the execution of
the program causing some scans to take many milliseconds. SYPT Lite
displays the average execution time calculated over the last 10 scans of
the user program.
The Onboard PLC and SYPT Lite form the first level of functionality in a
range of programmable options for Mentor MP.
•SYPT Lite can be used with either the Onboard PLC or with SMApplications Lite V2 to create ladder logic programs.
•SYPT can be used with either the SM-Applications Lite V2 or SMApplications Plus to create fully flexible programs using ladder logic,
function blocks or DPL script.

The Drive Onboard PLC program first run parameter is set for the
duration of program scan from the stopped state. This enables the user
to perform any required initialisation every time the program is run. This
parameter is set every time the program is stopped.

10.7 Onboard PLC and the SMARTCARD
The Onboard PLC program in a drive may be transferred from the drive
to a SMARTCARD and vice versa.
•To transfer an Onboard PLC program from the drive to a
SMARTCARD, set Pr xx.00 to 5yyy and reset the drive
•To transfer an Onboard PLC program from the SMARTCARD to a
drive, set Pr xx.00 to 6yyy and reset the drive.
(Where yyy is the data block location, see Table 9-1 SMARTCARD data blocks on page 81 for restrictions on block numbers).
If an attempt is made to transfer an Onboard PLC program from a drive
to the SMARTCARD when the drive contains no program, the block is
still created on the SMARTCARD but it will contain no data. If this data
block is then transferred to a drive, the destination drive will then have
no Onboard PLC program.
The smallest SMARTCARD compatible with Mentor MP has a capacity
of 4064 bytes and each block can be up to 4064 bytes in size. The
maximum size of a user program is 4032 bytes so it is guaranteed that
any Onboard PLC program downloaded to a Mentor MP will fit on to an
empty SMARTCARD. A SMARTCARD can contain a number of
Onboard PLC programs until the capacity of the card is used.

11 Advanced parameters
This is a quick reference to all parameters in the drive showing units,
ranges, limits etc, with block diagrams to illustrate their function. Full
parameter descriptions can be found in the Mentor MP Advanced User
Guide on the supplied CD ROM.
These advanced parameters are listed for reference purposes only. The
lists in this chapter do not include sufficient information for adjusting
these parameters. Incorrect adjustment can affect the safety of the
system, and damage the drive and or external equipment. Before
attempting to adjust any of these parameters, refer to the Mentor MP
Advanced User Guide.

The coding defines the attributes of the parameter as follows.
Table 11-2 Key to parameter table coding
CodingAttribute
{X.XX} Copied Mneu 0 or advanced parameter
Bit1 bit parameter: ‘On’ or ‘OFF’ on the display
BiBipolar parameter
UniUnipolar parameter
TxtText: the parameter uses text strings instead of numbers.
SPSpare: not used
Filtered: some parameters which can have rapidly changing
FI
values are filtered when displayed on the drive keypad for
easy viewing.
Destination pointer parameter: This parameter can be used
DE
to set up the location (i.e. menu/parameter number) where
the destination data is to be routed.
Variable maximum: the maximum of this parameter can
VM
vary.
Decimal place: indicates the number of decimal places used
DP
by this parameter.
No default: when defaults are loaded (except when the drive
ND
is manufactured or on EEPROM failure) this parameter is
not modified.
Rating dependant: this parameter is likely to have different
values and ranges with drives of different voltage and
current ratings. Parameters with this attribute will not be
transferred to the destination drive by a SMARTCARD when
the rating of the destination drive is different from the source
RA
drive if the drive voltage ratings are different or the file is a
parameter file. However, the value will be transferred if only
the current rating is different and the file is a differences
from default type file.
Not copied: not transferred to or from SMARTCARD during
NC
copying.
NVNot visible: not visible on the keypad.
PTProtected: cannot be used as a destination.
User save: saved in drive EEPROM when the user initiates
US
a parameter save.
RWRead/write: can be written by the user.
RORead only: can only be read by the user
Bit default one/unsigned: Bit parameters with this flag set to
one have a default of one (all other bit parameters have a
BU
default of zero. Non-bit parameters are unipolar if this flag is
one.
Power-down save: parameter automatically saved in drive
EEPROM when the under volts (UV) trip occurs. Power-
PS
down save parameters are also saved in the drive when the

Parameter ranges and variable maximums:
The two values provided define the minimum and maximum values for
the given parameter. In some cases the parameter range is variable and
dependant on either:
•other parameters
•the drive rating
•or a combination of these
The values given in Table 11-4 are the variable maximums used in the
drive.

If Pr 1.08 = 0: MAX_SPEED_REF = Pr 1.06 (SE02, 0.23)
If Pr 1.08 = 1: MAX_SPEED_REF is Pr 1.06 (SE02, 0.23) or – Pr 1.07 (SE01, 0.22) whichever is the largest
(If the second motor map is selected Pr 21.01 is used instead of Pr 1.06 (SE02, 0.23) and Pr 21.02 instead of
Pr 1.07 (SE01, 0.22))
Maximum applied to speed reference limits
A maximum limit may be applied to the speed reference to prevent the nominal encoder frequency from
exceeding 500kHz. The maximum is defined by
SPEED_LIMIT_MAX (in rpm) = 500kHz x 60 / ELPR = 3.0 x 10
10,000 rpm.
ELPR is equivalent encoder lines per revolution and is the number of lines that would be produced by a
quadrature encoder.
Quadrature encoder ELPR = number of lines per revolution
F and D encoder ELPR = number of lines per revolution / 2
This maximum is defined by the device selected with the speed feedback selector (Pr 3.26 (Fb01, 0.71)) and
the ELPR set for the position feedback device.
Maximum speed
This maximum is used for some speed related parameters in menu 3. To allow headroom for overshoot etc. the
maximum speed is twice the maximum speed reference.
SPEED_MAX = 2 x MAX_SPEED_REF
Maximum ramp rate
If (Pr 1.06 (SE02, 0.23) [Pr 21.01] >= 1000 and Pr 2.39 = 0) or Pr 2.39 >= 1000 then
The maximum drive current is the current at the over current trip level and is given by:
DRIVE_CURRENT_MAX = RATED_CURRENT_MAX x 2
Maximum current limit settings for motor map 1
This maximum current limit setting is the maximum applied to the current limit parameters in motor map 1. See
introduction to Menu 4 for the definition.
Maximum current limit settings for motor map 2
This maximum current limit setting is the maximum applied to the current limit parameters in motor map 2. See
introduction to Menu 4 for the definition.
Maximum torque producing current
This is used as a maximum for torque and torque producing current parameters. It is
MOTOR1_CURRENT_LIMIT_MAX or MOTOR2_CURRENT_LIMIT_MAX depending on which motor map is
currently active.
Current parameter limit selected by the user
The user can select a maximum for Pr 4.08 (torque reference) and Pr 4.20 (percentage load) to give suitable
scaling for analog I/O with Pr 4.24. This maximum is subject to a limit of CURRENT_LIMIT_MAX.
USER_CURRENT_MAX = Pr 4.24
For 4 quadrant drives maximum armature voltage = Vac x 1.15
Quadrant maximum
QUADRANT_MAX
0 for a 2 quadrant drive.
1 for a 4 quadrant drive.
Maximum power in kW
POWER_MAX
[9999.99kW]
The maximum power has been chosen to allow for the maximum power that can be output by the drive with
maximum DC output voltage and maximum controlled current.
Therefore:
POWER_MAX = ARMATURE_VOLTAGE_MAX x DRIVE_CURRENT_MAX
The values given in square brackets indicate the absolute maximum value allowed for the variable maximum.
