Frequently Asked Questions

What are the available literature resources for VLT AutomationDrive and MCO 305?

Available literature includes the MCO 305 Design Guide, MCO 305 Command Reference, VLT AutomationDrive Operating Instructions, Programming Guide, Design Guide, Profibus Operating Instructions, DeviceNet Operating Instructions, and MCT-10 Operating Instructions. Technical literature is also online at www.danfoss.com/drives.

What safety precautions should be taken before repair work?

Before repair work, disconnect the VLT AutomationDrive from mains, disconnect DC bus terminals 88 and 89, wait at least 4 minutes, and remove motor plugs.

How do I initialize the frequency converter to default settings?

Initialization can be done via 14-22 Operation Mode by selecting 'Initialization' or manually by disconnecting from mains, pressing [Status] – [Main Menu] – [OK] simultaneously, and reconnecting mains.

What mounting kits are available for different VLT AutomationDrive frames when installing MCO 305?

Mounting kits vary by frame size. For bookstyle frames A2/A3, kits are 130B7530 (40mm) and 130B7531 (60mm). For B3, kits are 130B1413 (40mm) and 130B1414 (60mm). For compact frames A5, B, C, D, E, F, kits are 130B7532 (A5) and 130B7533 (others).

How should control cables be installed for MCO 305?

All control cables must be screened and the cable screen must be connected to earth at both ends. Use the correct cable for encoders to avoid noise problems.

Where are the MCO 305 control terminals located on different frame sizes?

On frame sizes A2 and A3, encoder and I/O terminals are behind the C option terminal cover, while CAN bus and debug terminals are on top. On frame sizes A5, B1, and B2, all terminals are next to the VLT AutomationDrive control card after removing the front cover.

What are the terminal functions for MCO 305?

Key terminals include X55 for Encoder 2, X56 for Encoder 1, X57 for Digital inputs, X58 for 24V DC supply, X59 for Digital outputs, X62 for MCO CAN Bus, and X60 for Debug connections (RS-485).

What are the basic MCO 305 parameter settings for an encoder?

Key parameters include 32-0* for Encoder 2 (Feedback) and 32-3* for Encoder 1 (Master). Settings cover signal type, resolution, protocol, data length, clock frequency, cable length, and monitoring.

How do I set up parameters for a CANopen feedback encoder?

For a CANopen feedback encoder, set 32-00 to [3] 'CAN encoder', configure 32-01 for resolution, 32-14 for the encoder's node ID, 32-15 to activate guarding, and 33-91 for the CAN bus baud rate.

What are the default settings for velocity and acceleration parameters?

The default setting for 32-80 Maximum Velocity (Encoder) is 1500 RPM. The default for 32-81 Shortest Ramp is 1.000.
