1.3 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 instal-
lation 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.
The main features are:
•
Direct positioning via fieldbus
•
Relative, absolute, and touch probe positioning
•
32 fixed positions (64 via fieldbus)
•
End limit handling (software and hardware)
•
Mechanical brake handling
•
Error handling
•
Jog speed/manual operation
•
Home function
•
Auto PID calculation
