VLT® AQUA Drive FC200 Fact Sheet

Optimized drive for AC motor driven water and waste water applications. User friendly setup makes installation
easy and enables owners to reach the highest level of performance and lowest cost of ownership.

Featuring a wide range of powerful, standard features, which can be expanded with performance improving options,
the VLT® AQUA Drive is equally suited to both new and retrofit projects.

Set up the drive quickly and easily with the user friendly quick menu. By collecting the most important water and pump parameters in one place, the risk of incorrect configuration is reduced significantly.

Instantly benefit from high efficiency, fast payback and the lowest overall cost of ownership for water and waste water applications.

Application options
Extend the functionality of the drive with integrated options:

VLT® General Purpose I/O MCB 101
3 digital inputs, 2 digital outputs, 1 analogue current output, 2 analogue voltage inputs.
VLT® Extended Cascade Controller MCO 101, VLT® Advanced Cascade Controller MCO 102
Upgrade the built-in cascade controller to operate more pumps with higher energy efficiency using master/follower
pump control. Run the pumps in use at the same speed and optimise staging speeds automatically during operation. Run time of all pumps is balanced to distribute wear and tear evenly.
VLT® Sensor Input MCB 114
Monitors the PT100/PT1000 and protects motors from overheating.
VLT® PTC Thermistor Card MCB 112
The MCB 112 is connected to safe stop and protects the motor from overheating. It is approved for controlling
a certified Ex proof motor in a potentially explosive atmosphere (ATEX) in zones 1 + 2 (gas) zones 21 + 22 (dust).

VLT® 24 V External Supply MCB 107
Back-up option to keep the control system alive during mains loss.
Coated PCB available
For harsh environments according to levels in IEC61721-3-3, standard 3C2, optional 3C3.
Relay & Analogue I/O option
(VLT® Relay Card MCB 105, VLT® Analog I/O MCB109) Flexible I/O options adding 3 relays or 3 analogue inputs and 3 analogue outputs respectively.
High power options
See the VLT® High Power Drive Selection Guide for a complete list.

Power options
Choose from a wide range of external
power options for use with our drive
in critical networks or applications:
■ VLT® Low Harmonic Drive:
Optimum reduction of harmonic distortion with built-in active filter.
■ VLT® Advanced Harmonic Filter:
For applications where reducing harmonic distortion is critical.
■ VLT® dU/dt filter:
Provides motor isolation protection.
■ VLT® Sine wave filter (LC filter):
For noiseless motor.
PC software tools
■ VLT® Motion Control Tool MCT 10
Ideal for commissioning and servicing the drive, including guided programming of cascade controller, real time clock, smart logic controller and preventive maintenance.
■ VLT® Energy Box
Comprehensive energy analysis tool. Energy consumption with and w/o drive can be calculated (drivepayback time). Online function for accessing drives energy log.
■ VLT® Motion Control Tool MCT 31
Harmonics calculations tool.

Note: VLT® AQUA Drive can provide 110% current for 1 minute. Higher overload rating is achieved by oversizing the drive.

* Two of the inputs can be used as digital outputs.

* Two of the digital inputs can be used for pulse inputs.
