Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the VLT® Positioning Controller MCO 351?

The MCO 351 expands the functional properties of the frequency converter for positioning applications and can handle most positioning applications with vertical and horizontal movements.

What are the safety precautions for high voltage in frequency converters?

Frequency converters contain high voltage. Installation, start-up, and maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel only to avoid death or serious injury.

What are the supported encoder types for the MCO 351?

The MCO 351 supports TTL/RS422 incremental, SSI absolute, and Sin/Cos 1 Vpp encoders. CANopen encoders are also supported via X62.

How can the MCO 351 be controlled?

The MCO 351 can be controlled via digital/analog inputs or via fieldbus. The control source is selected in parameter 19-04 Control Source.

What is the purpose of the X57 Digital Input terminal?

The X57 terminal provides inputs for functions like touch probe switch, hardware limit switches, home switch, go to target position, and quick stop.

What is the function of Relay 01 and Relay 02?

Relay 01 is for the mechanical brake (normally open), and Relay 02 monitors the brake status (normally closed).

How is the MCO 351 software version identified?

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

What is the required waiting time after power disconnection for service?

After AC mains disconnection, wait the specified time in Table 2.1 (e.g., 5 minutes for 380-480V converters) before servicing to avoid electrical hazards from charged capacitors.

How is the MCO 350/351 installed in existing VLT® AutomationDrives?

For retrofit installation, a specific mounting kit is required depending on the enclosure type (e.g., A2, A3, A5, B3). The MCO 350/351 can be used in slot C0 or combined with another option in slot C1.

Where are the MCO 350/351 terminals located for different enclosure types?

For enclosure types A2 and A3, terminals are behind the C option cover. For A5, B1, and B2, terminals are next to the VLT® AutomationDrive control card after removing the front cover.
