The VLT® Modbus TCP MCA 122
Option oers connectivity to Modbus
TCP based networks, such as Groupe
Schneider PLC system via the Modbus
TCP Protocol.

The option is able to handle a single
connection with an Actual Packet
Interval down to 5 ms in both direc­tions, positioning it among the fastest
performing Modbus TCP devices in
the market.

Other features:

Built-in web-server for remote
diagnosis and reading out basic drive
parameters.

An E-mail noticator can be cong­ured for sending an e-mail message
to one or several receivers, if certain
warnings or alarms occur, or have
cleared again.

MCA 122 was introduced in 1998 and
is today one of the most developed,
proven and complete industrial
Ethernet network solutions available
for manufacturing automation.

MCA 122 is a member of a family
of networks that implements the
Modbus protocol at its upper layers.

Modbus encompasses a suite of
messages and services for a variety of
manufacturing automation applica­tions, including control, conguration
and information.

As a truly media-independent
protocol that is supported by hun­dreds of vendors around the world,
Modbus TCP provides users with a
unied communication architecture
throughout the manufacturing
enterprise.

The plug and play option can be
installed in VLT® HVAC Drive,
VLT® AQUA Drive and VLT® Automa­tionDrive frequency converters
