VLT® POWERLINK MCA 123represents
the second generation of eldbus.
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.

With this architecture, all additional
system features necessary for distri­buted automation systems are
provided in a standardized manner.
Therefore the integration of systems
built up with devices from multiple

manufacturers is easily possible.
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

Facts about our products

Setup in Automation Studio

The VLT® POWERLINK MCA 123 option
utilizes the features in the XDD le
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 conguration.
