  • Features

    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
