1.3

Product Overview

1.3.1 Intended Use

This installation guide relates to EtherNet/IP Module for

VLT® soft starters.

The EtherNet/IP interface is designed to communicate with
any system complying with the CIP EtherNet/IP standard.
EtherNet/IP provides users with the network tools to
deploy standard Ethernet technology for manufacturing
applications while enabling internet and enterprise connec­tivity.

EtherNet/IP Module is intended for use with:

•

VLT® Compact Starter MCD 201/MCD 202,
24 V AC/V DC and 110/240 V AC control voltage.

•

VLT® Soft Starter MCD 500, all models.

NOTICE

The EtherNet/IP Module is NOT suitable for use with the
MCD 201/MCD 202 compact starters using 380/440 V AC
control voltage.

The EtherNet/IP Module allows a Danfoss soft starter to
connect to an Ethernet network and be controlled or
monitored using an Ethernet communication model.

Separate modules are available for PROFINET, Modbus TCP,
and EtherNet/IP networks.

The EtherNet/IP Module operates at the application layer.
Lower levels are transparent to the user.

Familiarity with Ethernet protocols and networks is
required to operate the EtherNet/IP Module successfully. If
there are

diculties when using this device with third­party products, including PLCs, scanners, and
commissioning tools, contact the relevant supplier.

1.4 Approvals and Certications

More approvals and certications are available. For more
information, contact a local Danfoss partner.

1.5

Disposal

Do not dispose of equipment containing

electrical components together with

domestic waste.

Collect it separately in accordance with

local and currently valid legislation.

2 Safety

The following symbols are used in this manual:

WARNING

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that could
result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that could
result in minor or moderate injury. It can also be used to
alert against unsafe practices.

NOTICE

Indicates important information, including situations that
can result in damage to equipment or property.

2.1 Qualied Personnel

Correct and reliable transport, storage, installation,
operation, and maintenance are required for the trouble­free and safe operation of the soft starter. Only qualied
personnel are allowed to install or operate this equipment.

Qualied personnel are dened as trained sta, who are
authorized to install, commission, and maintain equipment,
systems, and circuits in accordance with pertinent laws and
regulations. Also, the qualied personnel must be familiar
with the instructions and safety measures described in this
installation guide.

2.2

General Warnings

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

VLT® Soft Starter MCD 500 contains dangerous voltages
when connected to mains voltage. Only a qualied
electrician should carry out the electrical installation.
Improper installation of the motor or the soft starter can
cause death, serious injury, or equipment failure. Follow
the guidelines in this manual and local electrical safety
codes.
Models MCD5-0360C ~ MCD5-1600C:
Treat the busbar and heat sink as live parts whenever
the unit has mains voltage connected (including when
the soft starter is tripped or waiting for a command).

WARNING

PROPER GROUNDING

Disconnect the soft starter from mains voltage before
carrying out repair work.
It is the responsibility of the person installing the soft
starter to provide proper grounding and branch circuit
protection according to local electrical safety codes.
Do not connect power factor correction capacitors to the

output of the VLT® Soft Starter MCD 500. If static power
factor correction is employed, it must be connected to
the supply side of the soft starter.

WARNING

IMMEDIATE START

In auto-on mode, the motor can be controlled remotely
(via remote inputs) while the soft starter is connected to
mains.
MCD5-0021B ~ MCD5-961B:
Transportation, mechanical shock, or rough handling
may cause the bypass contactor to latch into the On
state.

To prevent the motor from starting immediately on rst
commissioning or operation after transportation:

•

Always ensure that the control supply is applied
before the power.

•

Applying control supply before power ensures
that the contactor state is initialized.

WARNING

UNINTENDED START

When the soft starter is connected to AC mains, DC
supply, or load sharing, the motor can 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 with an external switch, a
eldbus command, an input reference signal from the
LCP or LOP, via remote operation using MCT 10 Set-up
Software, or after a cleared fault condition.

To prevent unintended motor start:

•

Press [O/Reset] on the LCP before
programming parameters.

•

Disconnect the soft starter from the mains.

•

Completely wire and assemble the soft starter,
motor, and any driven equipment before
connecting the soft starter to AC mains, DC
supply, or load sharing.

WARNING

SAFETY OF PERSONNEL

The soft starter is not a safety device and does not
provide electrical isolation or disconnection from the
supply.

•

If isolation is required, the soft starter must be
installed with a main contactor.

•

Do not rely on the start and stop functions for
safety of personnel. Faults occurring in the
mains supply, the motor connection, or the
electronics of the soft starter can cause
unintended motor starts or stops.

•

If faults occur in the electronics of the soft
starter, a stopped motor may start. A temporary
fault in the supply mains or loss of motor
connection can also cause a stopped motor to
start.

To provide safety of personnel and equipment, control
the isolation device through an external safety system.

NOTICE

Before changing any parameter settings, save the current
parameter to a le using MCD PC Software or the Save

User Set function.

NOTICE

Use the autostart feature with caution. Read all the notes
related to autostart before operation.

The examples and diagrams in this manual are included
solely for illustrative purposes. The information contained
in this manual is subject to change at any time and
without prior notice. Responsibility or liability is never
accepted for direct, indirect, or consequential damage
resulting from the use or application of this equipment.
