6.1.7 VLT® EtherNet/IP MCA 121Ethernet is the future standard for communication at thefactory floor. The VLT® EtherNet/IP MCA 121 is based onthe newest technology available for industrial use andhandles even the most demanding requirements.EtherNet/IP™ extends standard commercial Ethernet to theCommon Industrial Protocol (CIP™) – the same upper-layerprotocol and object model found in DeviceNet.This option offers advanced features such as:• Built-in, high-performance switch enabling line-topology, which eliminates the need for externalswitches.• DLR Ring (from October 2015).• Advanced switch and diagnosis functions.• Built-in web server.• E-mail client for service notification.• Unicast and Multicast communication.6.1.8 VLT® Modbus TCP MCA 122The VLT® Modbus TCP MCA 122 connects to Modbus TCP-based networks. It handles connection intervals down to5 ms in both directions, positioning it among the fastestperforming Modbus TCP devices in the market. For masterredundancy, it features hot swapping between 2 masters.Other features include:• Built-in web-server for remote diagnosis andreading out basic drive parameters.• Email notification that can be configured to sendan email message to 1 or more recipients whencertain alarms or warnings occur, or when theyare cleared.• Dual master PLC connection for redundancy.6.1.9 VLT® POWERLINK MCA 123The MCA 123 option represents the 2nd generation offieldbus. The high bit rate of industrial Ethernet can nowbe used to make the full power of IT technologies used inthe automation world available for the factory world.This fieldbus option provides high performance, real-time,and time synchronization features. Due to its CANopen-based communication models, network management, anddevice description model, it offers a fast communicationnetwork and the following features:• Dynamic motion control applications.• Material handling.• Synchronization and positioning applications.6.1.10 VLT® EtherCAT MCA 124The MCA 124 option offers connectivity to EtherCAT®based networks via the EtherCAT Protocol.The option handles the EtherCAT line communication infull speed, and connection towards the drive with aninterval down to 4 ms in both directions, allowing the MCA124 to participate in networks ranging from lowperformance up to servo applications.• EoE Ethernet over EtherCAT support.• HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol) for diagnosisvia built-in web server.• CoE (CAN over Ethernet) for access to driveparameters.• SMTP (simple mail transfer protocol) for e-mailnotification.• TCP/IP for easy access to drive configuration datafrom MCT 10.6.2 Functional ExtensionsThis section describes the functional extension options thatare available with the VLT® AutomationDrive FC 302 series.For ordering numbers, refer to chapter 13.2 OrderingNumbers for Options and Accessories.6.2.1 VLT® General Purpose I/O ModuleMCB 101The VLT® General Purpose I/O Module MCB 101 offers anextended number of control inputs and outputs:• 3 digital inputs 0–24 V: Logic 0 < 5 V; Logic 1 >10 V.• 2 analog inputs 0–10 V: Resolution 10 bits plussign.• 2 digital outputs NPN/PNP push-pull.• 1 analog output 0/4–20 mA.• Spring-loaded connection.6.2.2 VLT® Encoder Input MCB 102The MCB 102 option offers the possibility to connectvarious types of incremental and absolute encoders. Theconnected encoder can be used for closed-loop speedcontrol and closed-loop flux motor control.The following encoder types are supported:• 5 V TTL (RS 422)• 1VPP SinCos• SSIOptions and Accessories Ove...
