To program and interact with Schneider Electric Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) using the VW3A1101 LCP (Local Control Panel) display and SoMove software. There you’ll need to use the appropriate communication cable and follow specific steps to establish communication and configure the VFD parameters. Here’s a guide on how to set up and use the communication cable with SoMove for programming the VW3A1101 LCP display:
Requirements:
- Schneider Electric VFD (e.g., Altivar series) with compatible VW3A1101 LCP display
- SoMove Software (Schneider Electric’s configuration software)
- VW3A1101 LCP Communication Cable (typically provided with the LCP display)
- PC/Laptop with SoMove Installed
Installation Steps:

- Connect the LCP Communication Cable:
- Obtain the VW3A1101 LCP communication cable that is compatible with your VFD and LCP display.
- Connect one end of the LCP communication cable to the port on the VW3A1101 LCP display.
- Connect the other end of the LCP communication cable to a suitable communication port on your PC or laptop (usually a USB port).
- Configure Communication Settings in SoMove:
- Launch the SoMove software on your PC or laptop.
- Go to the communication settings or device discovery section within SoMove.
- Select the appropriate communication port that corresponds to the USB port you connected the LCP cable to.
- Choose the communication protocol supported by your VFD model (e.g., Modbus, CANopen, etc.) and configure the communication parameters (baud rate, parity, data bits) as needed.
- Discover and Connect to the VFD:
- Initiate the device discovery process within SoMove to scan for available VFDs on the configured communication port.
- Once the VFD is detected, select the VFD from the list displayed in SoMove and establish a connection.
- Programming and Configuration:
- With the VFD connected, you can use SoMove to program and configure various parameters of the VFD.
- Navigate through the configuration menus within SoMove to adjust motor settings, control parameters, monitoring options, and other VFD functionalities.
- Make sure to refer to the VFD’s user manual and documentation for specific parameter details and recommended settings.
- Save and Apply Changes:
- After configuring the desired settings, save the configuration within SoMove and apply the changes to the VFD.
- Monitor the VFDs operation using SoMove to ensure that the programmed parameters are functioning as expected.
Notes:
- Ensure that you are using the correct VW3A1101 LCP communication cable provided by Schneider Electric for your specific VFD and LCP display.
- Refer to the VFD’s documentation and SoMove user manual for detailed instructions on programming and configuration.
- Schneider Electric’s technical support resources can provide additional assistance if you encounter any issues during the setup or configuration process.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully program and configure Schneider Electric VFDs equipped with the VW3A1101 LCP display using the LCP communication cable and SoMove software.
