Quantum MP

Flexible system integration

Quantum MP is a modern packaged DC drive that has unparalleled flexibility through the integration of Control Techniques' AC drive control technology on a DC drive. This means the Quantum MP inherits system integration flexibility, such as:

• Two available SM option module slots for automation control, I/O, feedback devices and communications
• SMARTCARD for PLC program and parameter storage
• PC tools for easy configuration, monitoring, and diagnostics

Additional features include:

• Patented (pending) galvanic isolation protects control circuits against poor quality industrial power supplies and high voltage circuitry
• Powerful onboard intelligence fine-tunes the drive’s functionality to the application and allows the removal of troublesome analog control circuits
• Communication options include EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, PROFIBUS DP, and DeviceNet allowing Quantum MP to be integrated within any automation system
• CTSoft, a windows-based software package, provides an intuitive environment for configuring the drive's functionality
• Quantum MP integrates closely with Control Techniques AC drives using CTNet drive-to-drive communications

Technology for reliability and performance

Quantum MP takes a step forward in performance, robustness and reliability:

• High performance motor control
• Galvanic isolation (patent pending) between power and control protects the control circuits and other equipment connected to the drive from the high voltages on the power circuit. This feature is unique on DC drives
• Protection system against poor industrial power supplies and lightning strikes
• Integrated drive and motor protection
