Drive Configuration Tools

UniSoft, CTSoft, MentorSoft, SESoft

UniSoft, CTSoft, MentorSoft and SESoft are
complimentary Windows based drive configuration
tools designed to enable the complete control and
display of all parameters within a drive. The “Softs”
provide valuable drive data storage, retrieval and
programming functions. These Softs can be used off-
line in the office or on-line on the plant floor.
Parameter programming and monitoring may be
done using the menu list screens or dynamic graphical
flow diagrams. Like 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.
In addition to the parameter programming screens,

System Programming ToolKit (SyPT)

SyPT (System Programming ToolKit), a multi-drive

SyPT provides three ways to fashion an application.
Drive Programming Language (DPL) is a simple
computer language patterned after BASIC with drive

and function block diagram editors provide industry-
standard graphical programming for those who prefer
those methods.

Fieldbus / Protocol
Communication networks allow large amounts of
data to be transferred quickly to and from network
nodes. Using a network fieldbus can significantly reduce
system wiring requirements and installation costs, while
enhancing wiring integrity.
The CT fieldbus interface modules and cards provide
high-speed communications with the popular networks
and protocols. Each interface uses RS485 isolated
communications for inter-drive voltage isolation and
noise immunity.

Universal Keypad (CTKP ) CTKP Dimensions

The CTKP Universal Keypad makes
programming Control Techniques’
most popular drives fast and simple.
This remote keypad has a 2-line, 16-
character, green back-lit LCD display.
A built-in database defines all drive
parameters in real units. Start, Stop
/ Reset and Reverse keys make
pushbutton control quick and easy while five navigation
keys provide fast browsing and modification of
parameters.
Customer-defined macro functions can be accessed
through three programmable soft keys. The two
line display can be programmed to display any drive
parameter, apply a scale factor, offset and descriptive
text. The 2 or 4-wire RS485 communications provides
single or multi-drop connectivity with a combination of
CT digital drives➀ and their option modules (UD7X series
and MD29 / AN). (See cable options, page 158.)
Its IP-65 rating provides rugged protection whether
it is hand-held or panel mounted. To further simplify Remote I/O Box (I/O Box)
installation, it’s designed to be powered from a CT
drive➁ rather than require an external power source. The I/O Box expands the
