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.
