Danfoss VLT AHF 005 Design Guide

10.3.7 Personal Computer Connection
To control the drive from a PC, install the MCT 10 Set-up
Software. The PC is connected via a standard (host/device)
USB cable, or via the RS485 interface as shown in the
section Bus Connection in the programming guide.
USB is a universal serial bus utilizing 4 shielded wires with
ground pin 4 connected to the shield in the PC USB port.
All standard PCs are manufactured without galvanic
isolation in the USB port.
To prevent damage to the USB host controller through the
shield of the USB cable, follow the ground recommen-
dations described in the operating guide.
When connecting the PC to the drive through a USB cable,
Danfoss recommends using a USB isolator with galvanic
isolation to protect the PC USB host controller from
ground potential
dierences. It is also recommended not
to use a PC power cable with a ground plug when the PC
is connected to the drive through a USB cable. These
recommendations reduce the ground potential dierence,
but does not eliminate all potential dierences due to the
ground and shield connected in the PC USB port.

10.4 Control Wiring and Terminals
Control cables must be shielded and the shield must be
connected with a cable clamp at both ends to the metal
cabinet of the unit.
For correct grounding of control cables, see
Illustration 10.7.

a Control cables and serial communication cables must be
tted with cable clamps at both ends to ensure the best
possible electrical contact.
b Do not use twisted cable ends (pigtails). They increase the
shield impedance at high frequencies.
