1.4 Product Overview
1.4.1 Intended Use
This manual relates to the VLT® FCD 300 PROFIBUS Converter MCA 117.
The VLT® FCD 300 PROFIBUS Converter MCA 117 is intended for replacing a VLT® Decentral Drive FCD 300 or a VLT® Decentral Drive
FCM 300 with a VLT® Decentral Drive FCD 302 in a PROFIBUS network.
With this PROFIBUS converter option, the FCD 302 reacts as an FCD 300 or an FCM 300 on the PROFIBUS network. Changes to PLC
programming or configuration are normally not necessary.
The FCD 302 identifies itself either as an FCD 300 or an FCM 300 on the PROFIBUS network. A write command to, for example, ramp-up
time in FCD 300 is automatically linked to the corresponding ramp-up time parameter in the VLT® Decentral Drive FCD 302.
NOTICE
Some parameters in the FCD 300 and FCM 300 are not supported in the FCD 302, and some parameters cannot be accessed via
the VLT® FCD 300 PROFIBUS Converter MCA 117. Refer to
for more information. If a write request is
attempted to a parameter selection which is not supported, the drive discards the value and issues a positive reply. Only
parameters and functions described in this manual are supported.
NOTICE
The replacement drive must match the power size or be bigger than the replaced FCD 300 or FCM 300. Make sure that the
brake chopper matches the new drive. Make sure that the new drive meets the local regulations concerning the Machinery
Directive, pre-fuses, and other appropriate regulations.
NOTICE
Observe local rules and regulations when replacing a drive in an existing installation.
