5 How to Operate the Low Harmonic Drive
5.1.12 How to connect a PC to the frequency converter
To control or program the frequency converter (and the filter part) from a PC, install the PC-based Configuration Tool MCT 10.
The PC is connected via a standard (host/device) USB cable to both devices, or via the RS-485 interface as shown in the
Install > Installation of misc. connections .
NB!
The USB connection is galvanically isolated from the supply voltage (PELV) and other high-voltage terminals. The USB connection is
connected to protection earth on the frequency converter. Use only an isolated laptop as PC connection to the USB connector on the
frequency converter.

PC-based Configuration Tool MCT 10
The Low Harmonic Drive is equipped with two serial communication ports. Danfoss provides a PC tool for communication between PC and frequency
converter, PC-based Configuration Tool MCT 10. Please check the section on
MCT 10 set-up software
MCT 10 has been designed as an easy to use interactive tool for setting parameters in our frequency converters. The software can be downloaded from
http://www.Danfoss.com/BusinessAreas/DrivesSolutions/Softwaredownload/DDPC+Software+Program.htm .
the Danfoss internet site
The MCT 10 set-up software will be useful for:
• Planning a communication network off-line. MCT 10 contains a complete frequency converter database
• Commissioning frequency converters on line
• Saving settings for all frequency converters
• Replacing a frequency converter in a network
• Simple and accurate documentation of frequency converter settings after commissioning.
• Expanding an existing network
• Future developed frequency converters will be supported
MCT 10 set-up software supports Profibus DP-V1 via a Master class 2 connection. It makes it possible to on line read/write parameters in a frequency
converter via the Profibus network. This will eliminate the need for an extra communication network.
