New! Smart Start
Saves commissioning time
VLT® Motion Control Tool
The real eff ect is money saved
Set-up software provides easy control
of details as well as a general overview
of drive systems, large or small. The
tool handles all drives-related data.
Explorer-like interface
The MCT 10 software features
explorer-like interface design and
functionality to ease both use and
learning of the facilities.

organization to be more effi cient
Basic
■ Scope & Graph
■ Alarm history in saved projects
■ Graphical Timebased Actions,
Preventive Maintenance and
Basic Cascade Controller
■ Multiple fi eldbus support
Advanced
■ No limitation in
number of drives

On-line and off -line mode
In the online mode, you work with the
actual setup of the drives in question.
Your actions will have immediate
eff ect on the performance of the
drive(s).
Connections
■ USB
■ RS485
Project oriented
In project mode you work with the
drive parameters as a “virtual” set-up.
This allows you to adjust the whole
system before you implement it into
the drives and put it in action. In
project mode you can set the system
up even before the drives are installed.
A single command will update the
whole system. In case a drive is
exchanged, it is easily set up to
perform exactly as its predecessor.

Smart Start guides you through 10
basic steps for commissioning the
VLT® drive and ensures a quick, safe
and energy saving commissioning.
Smart Start is activated at the fi rst
power up, after a factory reset, or
from the quick menu.
When activating the Smart Start
feature, the drive will ask for informa-
tion it needs to run the application.
Smart Start will require
following information:
■ Number of motors connected
■ Thermal protection, yes/no
■ Nominal motor frequency
■ Motor voltage
■ Total motor power
■ Total motor current
■ Nominal motor speed
■ Minimum reference
■ Maximum reference
■ Application: Fan, pump or
compressor
The Smart Start also asks if you want
to apply the VLT® features Automatic
Motor Adaptation (AMA and the
Automatic Energy Optimisation (AEO).
The Smart Start will be deactivated
when the drive is programmed via
bus or fi eldbus and after a timeout.
NOTE: The Smart Start will only be
active if you choose the graphical
control panel.
