Product Description:

The MCA 114 is a VLT PROFIBUS converter by Danfoss suited for enhancing functionality in automated systems. It serves as a communication bridge, facilitating smooth data transfer between PROFIBUS networks and VLT drives. The module provides better system integration, simplified control and dependable operation in applications such as manufacturing lines, process control systems and intricate drive installations. The drive is designed to support PPO1 through PPO8 types, enabling the converter to manage a broad range of communication protocols within the PROFIBUS network.

The MCA 114 is designed to reuse the existing VLT 5000 GSD file, which simplifies network configuration by allowing integration into existing PROFIBUS systems without creating new device descriptions. It enables acyclic parameterization via PROFIBUS DP-V1, allowing users to read and write drive parameters directly over the network without interrupting normal cyclic communication. This functionality helps to streamline setup and maintenance, ensures that adjustments and monitoring can be performed efficiently for improved system performance. This module is designed to offer seamless compatibility with Danfoss’ MCT10 motion control tools. This simplifies system management by allowing users to configure, monitor and optimize VLT drives from a single software platform.

The MCA 114 is designed for field-mountable installation, allowing it to be directly mounted in industrial environments close to the VLT drives and PROFIBUS network components. This helps to reduce the need for additional control cabinets or complex wiring, making the process of installation and maintenance much simpler. This module is designed to interface seamlessly with standard PLC programs. This allows it to integrate smoothly into existing control logic without requiring extensive software modifications. It is designed to use the same PROFIBUS connector as the VLT 5000, ensuring straightforward physical integration with existing drive setups.
