| MULTIPLE PROCESSORS |
| The Carotron Elite®Pro has been designed with control loop speed and accuracy in mind. As a result, our control is equipped with 1 digital signal processor (DSP) and 5 microprocessors. The DSP is responsible for the Current Control Loop, Velocity Control Loop and I/O Functions. Three of the microprocessors are used to generate the gating signals to each of the SCRs. The other 2 microprocessors handle the Keypad and Communication functions. The final payoff is a DC Drive with superior speed and torque regulation, as compared with most Digital DC Drives. |
| ON BOARD EEPROM |
| One of the great advantages of the Elite®Pro is the on board EE PROM. EE PROM is a user modifiable read-only memory that can be erased and reprogrammed. Since the program code is stored here, field upgrades are made easy. In other words, software upgrades or application specific changes can be made without sending the unit back to the factory. |
| DIGITAL OPERATOR |
| The Elite®Pro has been equipped with an enhanced operator panel as a standard. The operator panel displays text messages on a 20 character x 4 line back lighted LCD display. Text messages can often eliminate the need to look up parameter codes in the instruction manual. Five soft keys are used to maneuver around in the simple menu structure of the Elite®Pro. Additionally, the operator panel remains mounted when the front cover is removed. The operator panel can also be remote mounted up to 1000 feet away with an optional NEMA 4 mounting kit and simple communication cable. |
| COMMUNICATIONS |
| Many Users and OEM’s have already recognized the benefits of serial communications with motor controllers. The lower cost of engineering and installation combined with enhanced flexibility make this an attractive low cost alternative to control wiring. Many products offer serial communications only as an option. The Elite®Pro comes with Modbus capability right out of the box. |
| SHUNT FIELD REGULATOR |
| The on board Field Regulator has two modes of operation. In the standard mode, the regulator supplies the standard 150/247/300VDC depending on the input voltage supply. In the closed loop mode, the shunt field current is regulated thus providing improved performance throughout the motor’s temperature range. This mode of operation along with the regulator’s ability to be used with an external voltage source makes it easy for the Elite®Pro to be used with motors that have non-standard field voltages. |
| OTHER FEATURES |
| • PRO-Link computer software for upload / download and file storage as well as Professors for assistance in set-up for specified operating modes
• Field Cross-over control for constant HP above base speed • Add on kits for NEMA 1 Enclosure with fuses, armature contactor and AC disconnect • Software options for Constant Tension Center Winder Control, Load Cell Tension Control, Center Let-off Control, and other application specific functions

DOWNLOAD PROLINK SOFTWARE V2 — is Carotron’s software package that is designed to be used with the Elite®Pro series of digital DC drives that support the Modbus serial communications protocol. The software will allow users to monitor, update, and document the settings in an Elite®Pro drive. Early models of the Elite®Pro did not use the Modbus protocol and ProLink version l.x.x is still required to communicate with these drives. The communication protocol of and Elite®Pro can easily be determined by observing the LCD on the drive when power is applied to the unit. The Modbus protocol is implemented in versions 16.x.x.x or later.
DOWNLOAD PROLINK SOFTWARE V1 – is Carotron’s software package that is designed to be used with the Elite®Pro series of digital DC drives that DO NOT support the Modbus serial communications protocol. The software will allow users to monitor, update and document the settings in an Elite®Pro drive.
