VLT® Programmable controllers

Programmable controllers provide AC drives with advanced control capabilities for dedicated high-end control of key applications.

VLT® Advanced Cascade Controller MCO 102

Easy to fit
Upgrades the built-in cascade controller to operate up to 8 pumps and provide more advanced pump control in master/follower mode
Supports the combination of multiple variable speed and fixed speed pumps, as well as configurations with pumps of differing capacity (mixed pump control)
The additional 7 digital inputs and the 24-V DC connection to the drive enable flexible adaptation to the application. The same cascade controller hardware is compatible with the entire power range up to 2 MW
Up to 8 pumps in standard cascade setup
Up to 8 pumps in master/follower setup

VLT® Motion Control MCO 305
