MentorSoft

MentorSoft is a complimentary Windows™-based drive configuration tool designed to simplify the process of drive system design, set up, and diagnostics. The software enables the complete control and display of all parameters within a drive. The software also provides valuable drive data storage, retrieval and programming functions. MentorSoft can be used offline, in the office, or online on the plant floor.

Parameter programming and monitoring may be done using the parameter tables or dynamic graphical flow diagrams. As on the drives parameters are grouped into logical menus of related parameters. Help menus and parameter descriptions are accessible by simply double clicking on the parameter of interest. It allows you to:

• Read, save and load drive configuration settings
• Monitor drive parameters and status
• Visualize and modify the configuration with live animated diagrams

MentorSoft is free of charge and can be obtained by clicking the download tab on this page.

 

CTScope

CTScope is a full featured software oscilloscope for viewing and analyzing changing values within the drive.  The time base can be set to give high speed capture for tuning or intermittent capture for longer term trends.  The interface is based on a traditional oscilloscope, making it familiar to engineers across the globe.

CTScope is free of charge and can be obtained by clicking the download tab on this page.

 

SyPTPro

SyPTPro is a full featured automation development environment that can be used for creating solutions to single or multiple drive applications. The programming environment fully supports three industry standard programming languages: Function Block, Ladder and Structured Text. Motion is configured using PLCopen function blocks that support a master and slave axis configuration.

SyPTPro is also used to configure CTNet, a high speed drive-to-drive network that links together multiple drives, SCADA, operator panels and I/O to form an intelligent networked system.
