To control or program the frequency converter from a PC, install the MCT 10 Set-up Software.
The PC is connected via a standard (host/device) USB cable, or via the RS-485 interface as shown in the
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 isolated laptop as PC connection to the USB connector on the VLT
AQUA Drive.
PC Software - MCT 10
All drives are equipped with a serial communication port. We provide a PC tool for communication between PC and frequency converter, VLT Motion
Control Tool MCT 10 Set-up Software.
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 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 drive in a network
• Expanding an existing network
• Future developed drives will be supported
MCT 10
Set-up Software support 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.
