NOTE!
The USB connection is galvanically isolated from the supply voltage (PELV) and other high-voltage terminals. The USB connection is
connected to protection ground on the adjustable frequency drive. Only use an isolated laptop as a PC connection to the USB connector
on the VLT AQUA Drive.
PC Software - MCT 10
All drives are equipped with a serial communication port. We provide a PC tool for communication between PC and adjustable frequency drive, called the
VLT Motion Control Tool MCT 10 Set-up software.
MCT 10 Set-up Software
MCT 10 has been designed as an easy-to-use interactive tool for setting parameters in our adjustable frequency drives.
The MCT 10 Set-up software will be useful for:
• Planning a communication network off-line. MCT 10 contains a complete adjustable frequency drive database
• Commissioning adjustable frequency drives on-line.
• Saving settings for all adjustable frequency drives.
• Replacing a drive in a network
• Expanding an existing network.
• Drives developed in the future will be fully supported.
