Introduction to VLT Motion Control Option MCO 305
What is VLT Motion Control Option MCO 305?
MCO 305 is an integrated programmable Motion Controller for VLT Automation Drive FC 312 and FC 312; it
adds functionality and flexibility to the already very comprehensive standard functionality of these drives.
FC 312 and FC 312 with MCO 305 is an intelligent drive offering highly accurate and dynamic motion control
featuring, Synchronization (electronic shaft), Positioning and electronic CAM control. In addition the pro-
grammability offers the possibility to implement a variety of application functions such as monitoring and
intelligent error handling.
Development of application programs for MCO 305 and configuration/commissioning is done via easy to use
PC software tools integrated in VLT Motion Control Tools MCT 10. The PC software tools includes program-
ming editor with program examples, CAM profile editor as well as "test-run" and "scope" function for con-
troller optimizing. MCO 305 is based on event controlled programming using a structured text programming
language developed and optimized for this application.
FC 312 and FC 312 can be delivered as an "all-in-one" drive with the MCO 305 module preinstalled or
MCO 305 can be delivered as option module for field installation.
