The drive contains capacitors which remain charged to a potentially lethal voltage after the AC supply has been disconnected. If the drive has been energized, the AC supply must be isolated for at least ten minutes before work may continue. MCi210 User Guide Issue Number: 2...
File system User programming The MCi210 module is capable of running a CoDeSys program created by a user with the Machine Control Studio (MC Studio) software. It is an integrated development environment that supports all five of the programming languages of the IEC 61131-3 standard, including Structured Text (ST), Ladder Diagram (LD), Function Block Diagram (FBD), Sequential Function Chart (SFC) and Instruction List (IL).
The configuration of the host drive and System Integration option module is performed using menus and parameters. A menu is a logical collection of parameters that have similar functionality. The MCi210 module contains a number of menus that are grouped by the slot number that the module is installed into.
• Align the option module above the drive as shown • Insert the option module tab into the slot on the drive • Press down on the option module until it clicks into place MCi210 User Guide Issue Number: 2...
8P8C connectors. A link/activity indicator is provided for each of the Ethernet ports. The indicators are located on the top surface of the module. The MCi210 module also provides a 6-way pluggable connector for digital inputs and outputs. Figure 4-1 MCi210...
The shells of the 8P8C (RJ45) Ethernet ports are isolated from 0V of the module and the drive. The ground tab on the MCi210 module is not required for electrical safety and is available only to increase immunity from electrical noise.
SELV classification. WARNING The MCi210 is equipped with 3 digital inputs, 1 selectable digital input or output and 1 digital output. These inputs and outputs can be read to or controlled by the user program in the module.
3 it will be accessed using Pr 2.3.010. The MCi210 module will also hold a copy of the host drive’s database. At power up, if the database held in the MCi210 is different to that of the drive, the MCi210 will upload the drive's database and overwrite the stored database.

Digital I/O The MCi210 is equipped with three dedicated digital input terminals, one configurable digital input/ output terminal and one dedicated digital output terminal. The digital outputs are positive logic such that they are at 24 V when active and will supply up to 20 mA of current.
Timer The MCi210 module offers timer functionality. The Timer Unit can be configured to be clocked from one of two digital inputs or the module's internal clock. When the internal clock is used, the frequency can be selected from four possible values; 50 MHz, 12.5 MHz, 3.125 MHz and 781.25 kHz.
