VLT® POWERLINK MCA 123represents the second generation of fieldbus. The high bit rate of Industrial Ethernet is used and the full power of IT technologies to the automation world is available now for the factory world.
Ethernet is, when introduced in automation, still open and independent. POWERLINK does not only provide high performance real-time and time synchronisation features. Due to its CANopen-based communication models, network management and device description model offers much more than just a fast communication network.

Facts about our products
Setup in Automation Studio
The VLT® POWERLINK MCA 123 option utilizes the features in the XDD file
to provide a user-friendly interface. This means that the programmer can see the variables from the Frequency converter as channel names directly on screen. This reduces the risk of wrong assignments of I/O data and speeds up the configuration.
