•
Master/slave mode runs all blowers/pumps at the
same speed, potentially reducing the energy
consumption to less than half that of valve
throttling or traditional, across-the-line on/o
cycling.
•
Lead-pump alternation assures that multiple
pumps or blowers are used equally.
24 V DC supply option MCB 107
The option is used to connect an external DC supply to

Cascade Control Options
The cascade controller options extend the number of
available relays. Once one of the options is installed, the
parameters needed to support the cascade controller
functions will be available through the control panel.
MCO 101 and 102 are add-on options extending the
supported number of pumps and the functionalities of the
built-in cascade controller in the VLT
®
AQUA Drive.
The following options for cascade control are available for
the VLT
®
AQUA Drive:
•
Built-in basic cascade controller (standard cascade
controller)
•
MCO 101 (extended cascade controller)
•
MCO 102 (advanced cascade controller)
For further information, see chapter 7
Specications.
The extended cascade controller can be used in two
dierent modes:
•
With the extended features controlled by
parameter group 27-** Cascade CTL Option.
•
To extend the number of available relays for the
basic cascade controlled by parameter
group 25-**. Cascade Controller.
MCO 101 allows using a total of
ve relays for cascade
control. MCO 102 allows controlling a total of eight pumps.
The options are able to alternate the lead pump with two
relays per pump.
NOTICE!
If the MCO 102 is installed, the relay option MCB 105 can
extend the number of relays to 13.
Application
Cascade control is a common control system used to
control parallel pumps or fans in an energy-ecient way.
The cascade controller option enables control of multiple
pumps congured in parallel by:
•
Automatically turning individual pumps on/o.
•
Controlling the speed of the pumps.
When using cascade controllers, the individual pumps are
automatically turned on (staged) and turned o (de-
staged) as needed in order to satisfy the required system
output for ow or pressure. The speed of pumps
