Danfoss 130B1153 VLT® Position Controller MCO351, unctd

The VLT® Positioning Controller MCO 351 is for use with the FC 300 series frequency converters.

Frequency converters contain high voltage. Installation, start-up, and maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel only.

The MCO 351 supports TTL/RS422 incremental, SSI absolute, and Sin/Cos encoders. CANopen encoders are also supported via X62.

This manual provides information for safe installation and commissioning of the VLT® Positioning Controller MCO 351 for qualified personnel.

After AC mains disconnection, wait the specified time in Table 2.1 (e.g., 5 minutes for 200-240V) before service to avoid electrical hazards.

Screen all control cables and connect the cable screen to ground at both ends to avoid EMC problems.

In A2 and A3 enclosures, terminals are behind the C option cover. In A5, B1, and B2 enclosures, they are next to the VLT® AutomationDrive control card.

The control source is selected in parameter 19-04 Control Source. Digital/analog inputs are inactive when fieldbus is selected, and vice-versa.

Key MCO parameters include 32-0* for Encoder2 setup, 32-3* for Encoder1 setup, 32-6* for PID values, and 32-8* for maximum velocity and ramps.

The software version number can be found by referring to parameter 19-90 Type/Version.

Danfoss products are used across several key industries including HVAC, Food and Beverage, Packaging, Water and Wastewater, Refrigeration, and Marine applications. Their drives and automation solutions serve a wide range of applications such as pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, process and material treatment equipment, mills, drums, kilns, winding/unwinding systems, drilling equipment, propulsion systems, winches, and power conversion for generation and smart grids. Danfoss has particular expertise in marine applications with over 40 years of experience, providing solutions for ship owner-operators, shipyards, system integrators, and OEMs.

Key features of Danfoss products include integrated design elements (harmonics, EMC design, DC choke, and EMC filter) that save installation time and panel space while improving reliability. Installation and setup features include removable terminals, USB ports for easy PC connection, application setup wizards, and optional memory modules for convenient parameter transfer. Safety and control features encompass integrated Safe Torque Off (STO) dual channel functionality, control algorithms that run both induction and PM motors, and integrated brake choppers for drives up to 22 kW. Additional operational benefits include side-by-side mounting without derating, operation up to 45°C without derating, and robust construction designed for maximum uptime and efficiency across various industrial applications.

Danfoss products offer various environmental protection ratings to meet different application requirements. Their VLT drive series are available in IP00 (Chassis), IP20 (Protected chassis), IP21 (NEMA Type 1), IP54 (NEMA Type 12), IP55, and IP66 (NEMA 4X) ratings. These ratings provide protection ranging from basic chassis protection to dust-tight and water-resistant enclosures suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, with NEMA 4X/IP66 offering the highest level of protection against windblown dust, rain, splashing water, and external ice formation.
