Danfoss MCA 194 Fact sheet

VLT® DeviceNet Converter MCA 194

Keep the functionality of the VLT® 5000 with DeviceNet option installed without changing the PLC program.

Ordering number

Coated 130B5601

VLT® DeviceNet Converter MCA 194
emulates a VLT® 5000 on the Device­Net network. All VLT® 5000 commands
from the PLC are translated in the
MCA194 to VLT® AutomationDrive FC
302 commands. This eliminates the
need to re-write the PLC program and
change the conguration.

As a result the investment in the PLC
is retained, and no expensive and
time consuming re-programming is
required. The downtime is limited to
the time it takes to exchange the VLT®
5000 to the FC 302 with the MCA194
DeviceNet Converter option installed.

For easy mechanical adaptation,
accessory adaptor plates with VLT
5000 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
labour costs when exchanging a VLT®
5000 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

5000.

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.

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.
