    Adding A DC Loop Contactor to a Mentor MP


    The Mentor MP DC Drives have been designed to provide a simple motor contactor sequencing
    circuit. In the default condition, Relay #2 is pre-programmed to control the coil of the DC Loop
    Contactor. The simplest set up is when the standard 24 Vdc inputs are used for starting and stopping
    the drive. This makes the system very simple when using relay contacts or outputs from a PLC.

    Application Example using 24 Vdc Control Logic (i.e. PLC Control)

    Relay 2 63 MC

    Motor Contactor Coil

    Stopping Modes:

    1. Coast Stop – If the run and enable are opened together, the contactor will open (after a 100
    millisecond delay) and the motor will either coast or dynamically brake to a stop (if there is a
    braking resistor connected as shown above).

    2. Ramp Stop – If the Enable input is held closed and the Run input is opened the motor will
    ramp to a stop. If the Mentor MP is a regenerative model, the motor speed can follow the ramp
    down at almost any rate assuming there is enough motor torque to do so. If it is a non-
    regenerative model the motor will follow the ramp as long as it is set longer than the natural
    coast time of the system.

    Parameters of Interest:

    #6.54 Run rising edge delay

    This parameter provides a time delay to allow the motor contactor to completely pick up before the
    drive enables the scr’s to “fire”. This ensures the power section of the drive is not active when the
    contactor closes. The default is 0 seconds, a value 100 milliseconds should be used otherwise the
    drive may experience AOC (Armature Over Current) trips.

    #6.55 Contactor enable

    This is the “read only” parameter which is used to control relay 2 output.

    #6.56 Drive active falling edge delay

    This parameter is a programmable delay time from when the Drive active (#10.02) goes low and the
    Contactor enable (#6.55) goes low (which would drop out the motor contactor). This time delay also
    sets the time the motor field is held at rated current (or voltage) before dropping to the economy level
    set by parameter #5.67. The default on this parameter is 30 seconds. It could be reduced if dynamic
    braking is not used. If the system employs “machine gun” jogging should be left at 30 seconds.

    #5.16 Contactor

    Armature feedback measured at the motor terminals (MA1 & MA2) set to “1”

    Application Example using 120 Vac Control Logic


    In this example, the system requires 120 Vac remote operators. They include; Start, Ramp Stop and
    DB-Estop. Sequencing of the drive is to be controlled by the contactor auxiliary switch. Contactor is
    sequenced in both Ramp and DB Stops.
