Introduction
■
PC software and serial communication
Danfoss offers various options for serial communication.
Using serial communication, it is possible to monitor,
program and control one or several frequency
converters from a centrally located computer.
All VLT 8000 AQUA units have an RS 485 port as
standard with a choice of two protocols. The protocols
selectable in parameter 500 protocols are:
• FC Protocol
• Modbus RTU
A bus option card allows higher transmission speed
than RS 485. In addition, a higher number of units
can be linked to the bus and alternative transmission
media can be used. Danfoss offers the following
option cards for communication:
• Profibus
• LonWorks
• DeviceNet
Information on the installation of various options is
not included in these operating instructions.
Using the RS 485 port enables communication,
e.g. with a PC. A Windows
TM
program, called
MCT 10 , is available for this purpose. It can be
used to monitor, program and control one or
several VLT 8000 AQUA units.

PC Software tools
PC Software - MCT 10
All drives are equipped with a serial communication
port. We provide a PC tool for communication
between PC and frequency converter, VLT Motion
Control Tool MCT 10 Set-up Software.
MCT 10 Set-up Software
MCT 10 has been designed as an easy to use interactive
tool for setting parameters in our frequency converters.
The MCT 10 Set-up Software will be useful for:
• Planning a communication network off-line. MCT 10
contains a complete frequency converter database
• Commissioning frequency converters on line
• Saving settings for all frequency converters
• Replacing a drive in a network
• Expanding an existing network
• Future developed drives will be supported
MCT 10 Set-up Software support Profibus DP-V1 via
a Master class 2 connection. It makes it possible to
on line read/write parameters in a frequency converter
via the Profibus network. This will eliminate the need
for an extra communication network.
The MCT 10 Set-up Software Modules
The following modules are included in the
software package:
MCT 10 Set-up Software
Setting parameters
Copy to and from frequency converters
Documentation and print out of parameter
settings incl. diagrams
SyncPos
Creating SyncPos programme

Please order your CD containing MCT 10 Set-up
Software using code number 130B1000.

Fieldbus options
The increasing need for information in building
management systems makes it necessary to collect
or visualise many different types of process data.
Important process data can help the system technician
in the day to day monitoring of the system, which
means that a negative development, e. g. an increase
in energy consumption, can be rectified in time.
The substantial amount of data in large buildings
may generate a need for a higher transmission
speed than 9600 baud.
■
Profibus
Profibus is a fieldbus system with FMS and DP,
which can be used for linking automation units,
such as sensors and actuators, to the controls
by means of a two-conductor cable.
Profibus FMS is used if major communication
tasks are to be solved at cell and system level by
means of large volumes of data.
Profibus DP is an extremely fast communication
protocol, made specially for communication between
the automation system and various units.
VLT 8000 AQUA only supports DP.
