vacon adp-mcaa communication adapter for vacon
10, user’s instructions
1. INTRODUCTION
VACON-ADP-MCAA communication adapter has two functionalities:
1) It is needed as an adapter between Vacon 10 and the PC cable when Vacon 10 is
connected to a computer.
2) The adapter functions also as a parameter memory device that can store param-
eter settings from the drive. The parameter settings can be copied to another drive
with the help of this adapter.
NOTE! The parameters can only be
copied to another Vacon 10 drive of
same power and voltage!
VACON-ADP-MCAA communication adapter delivery includes only the adapter.
VACON-ADP-MCAA KIT delivery includes the adapter and the PC connection cable.
