Danfoss MCA 113 Fact sheet

VLT® PROFIBUS Converter MCA 113

Keep the functionality of the VLT® 3000 Probus without changing the PLC program.

Ordering number

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
conguration.

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
Probus.

For easy mechanical adaptation,
accessory adaptor plates with VLT
3000 mounting holes ensure correct
tting of the FC 302 in panels or on
walls.

Facts about our products

Save installation time with adaptor
plates

Reduce downtime and mounting
costs when exchanging a VLT® 3000
with a VLT® AutomationDrive FC 302.
Pre-drilled adaptor plates make it
easy to mount a new FC 302 fre­quency converter in place of a VLT

3000.

Not only does this reduce installation
costs, it also eliminates the need for
additional modications to the
cabinet or panel where the new drive
is installed. Drilling new holes and
cutting new threads can coarse chips
to damages electronic parts.

Owners can therefore exchange old
drives with new drives in existing
systems with ease. This is an advan­tage when a high degree of exibility
in upgrade strategies is required.

Adaptor plate, FC302 and a PROFIBUS converter
MCA113 can easily replace a VLT3000
