5.5.2 How to Connect a PC to the
Frequency Converter
To control or program the frequency converter from a PC,
install the PC-based Configuration Tool MCT 10 Set-up
Software.
The PC is connected via a standard (host/device) USB
cable, or via the RS-485 interface as shown in
NOTE
The USB connection is galvanically isolated from the
supply voltage (PELV) and other high-voltage terminals.
The USB connection is connected to protection earth on
the frequency converter. Use only an isolated laptop as PC
connection to the USB connector on the frequency
converter.
