These Operating Instructions provide information for safe
installation and commissioning of the VLT® Positioning
Controller MCO 351. The Operating Instructions are
intended for use by qualified personnel. Read and follow
the Operating Instructions to use the product safely and
professionally, and pay particular attention to the safety
instructions and general warnings. Keep these Operating
Instructions available with the MCO 351 at all times.
Compliance with the information in these Operating
Instructions is a prerequisite for:
Trouble-free operation
•
Recognition of product liability claims
•
Therefore, read the Operating Instructions before working
with the MCO 351.

Overview
The VLT® Positioning Controller MCO 351 is for use with
the FC 300 series frequency converters. The control card
option expands the functional properties of the frequency
converter in positioning applications. It is user-friendly,
enabling the set-up of all parameters via the VLT
AutomationDrive Local Control Panel (LCP) or via the VLT
MCT 10 Set-up Software.
The module is available as an option card for field installation or as a built-in option in all VLT® AutomationDrives.
It is available with and without conformal coating.
As the MCO 351 is a standard product with fixed
functional properties, no additional application
programming is required.
The positioning controller can handle most positioning
applications with vertical as well as horizontal movements.
The option is suited for applications with an overall control
system, for example a PLC.

1.5 Disposal
Equipment containing electrical
components can not be disposed of
together with domestic waste.
It must be separately collected with
electrical and electronic waste according
to local and currently valid legislation.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which could
result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used
to alert against unsafe practices.
NOTICE
Indicates important information, including situations that
may result in damage to equipment or property.
2.2 Safety Warnings
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
Frequency converters contain high voltage when
connected to AC mains input power. Failure to perform
installation, start up, and maintenance by qualified
personnel could result in death or serious injury.
Installation, start up, and maintenance must be
•
performed by qualified personnel only.
WARNING
UNINTENDED START
When the frequency converter is connected to AC mains,
DC power supply, or load sharing, the motor may start at
any time. Unintended start during programming, service,
or repair work can result in death, serious injury, or
property damage. The motor can start by means of an
external switch, a serial bus command, an input
reference signal from the LCP or LOP, via remote
operation using MCT 10 software, or after a cleared fault
condition.
To prevent unintended motor start:
Disconnect the frequency converter from the
•
mains.
Press [Off/Reset] on the LCP before
•
programming parameters.
Ensure that the frequency converter, motor, and
•
any driven equipment is fully wired and
assembled when the frequency converter is
connected to AC mains, DC power supply, or
load sharing.
WARNING
DISCHARGE TIME
Frequency converters contain DC link capacitors that can
remain charged even when AC mains is disconnected. To
avoid electrical hazards, remove AC mains from the
frequency converter before doing any service or repair
and wait the amount of time specified in Table 2.1.
Failure to wait the specified time after power has been
removed before doing service or repair on the unit could
result in death or serious injury.

This chapter is only relevant if the MCO 350/351 is
delivered as an option for upgrading an existing VLT
33
AutomationDrive. When ordered with the frequency
converter, MCO 350/351 is pre-installed. For retrofit,
purchase a mounting kit.
There is a different mounting kit for different enclosures.
Use MCO 350/351 in slot C0 or combine it with another
option in slot C1.

4.1 MCO 350/351 Control Terminals
4.1.1 Enclosure Types A2 and A3
Encoder and I/O terminal are located behind the C option
terminal cover, see Illustration 4.1.
MCO CAN bus terminals and debug terminals (RS-485) are
on the top of the C option cover. If these connections are
used, cut out the plastic parts above the connectors and
mount the cable relief.
Enclosure Types A5, B1, and B2
4.1.2
All MCO 350/351 terminals are located next to the VLT
AutomationDrive control card. Remove the front cover to
get access. See Illustration 4.2.
MCO control terminals are plug connectors with screw
terminals. Terminals X55, X56, X57, X58, and X59 are
duplicated to be used for both bookstyle and compact
enclosure type.
See Illustration 4.3 to locate the terminal blocks.
