5.1.3 How to Connect a PC to the Frequency
Converter
To control or program the frequency converter from a PC,
install the PC-based Configuration Tool MCT 10.
The PC is connected via a standard (host/device) USB cable, or
via the RS-485 interface as shown in the VLT HVAC Drive
Design Guide, chapter How to Install > Installation of misc.
connections.
NOTE
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.
Illustration 5.3: For control cable connections, see section
on Control Terminals.
5.1.4 PC Software Tools
PC-based Configuration Tool MCT 10
All Frequency converters are equipped with a serial communi-
cation port. Danfoss provides a PC tool for communication
between PC and frequency converter, PC-based Configuration
Tool MCT 10. Please check the section on Available Literature
for detailed information on this tool.
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 the Danfoss internet site

HVAC Drive Operating Instructions
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.
