All bus options have the ability to:
• Control the soft starter
• Monitor the soft starter status
• Monitor the soft starter trip state
• Monitor the soft starter current (not available on MCD 201)
• Monitor the soft starter thermal model overload temperature
(not available on MCD 201)
Parameters can also be uploaded to or downloaded from MCD 500
soft starters on Modbus, DeviceNet or PROFIBUS networks.
In order for the MCD 500 to accept commands from the serial
network, the soft starter must be in Auto On mode and links must
be fitted to terminals 17 and 25 to 18. In Hand On mode, the starter
will not accept commands from the serial network but the starter’s
status can still be monitored.
The following information is a general guide to MCD 500 and MCD
200 bus options. Refer to the relevant installation instructions and
users manual for more detail.
