devices worldwide. PROFIBUS is the world’s most successful fieldbus, widely used in process automation, motion control and safety related tasks.
VLT® PROFIBUS Converter MCA 113 emulates the VLT® 3000 commands on the PROFIBUS network. All VLT 3000 commands from the PLC are translated in the MCA113 to VLT® AutomationDrive FC 302 commands. This eliminates the need to rewrite the PLC program and change the configuration.
As a result the PLC investment is retained and no expensive and time consuming reprogramming is required. Production downtime is reduced to a minimum, where the FC302 now becomes plug-and-play compatible with the VLT®3000 Profibus.
For easy mechanical adaptation, accessory adaptor plates with VLT 3000 mounting holes ensure correct fitting of the FC 302 in panels or on walls.
