What MyDrive Connect is for

MyDrive Connect is a commissioning app from Danfoss A/S for its VLT drive range. The listing names the VLT HVAC Drive, VLT AQUA Drive and VLT AutomationDrive, all of which are AC drives. It is aimed at people who set up these drives on site and need to program them and check their operation.

The app talks to one drive at a time over a direct wireless connection rather than through a network or a cloud service. The listing describes this as one-to-one communication.

Connecting to a drive over Wi-Fi

The link between the app and the drive runs over Wi-Fi and is password protected. The listing describes it as secure. Because the connection is direct, the drive does not need to be on a building network for the app to reach it.

Nothing in the listing mentions a subscription, account or paid unlock for this connection.

Reading drive status and changing parameters

A Status page shows the drive's current state in a format the listing calls easy to read. From the same app, you can program the drive's parameters directly. Quick parameter search helps you find a specific setting without scrolling the full list.

Together these let you check what the drive is doing, then change how it is configured, without leaving the app.

Live monitoring, fine tuning and manual control

Live graphs plot drive values as they change, which the developer offers for monitoring and fine tuning. You can adjust a setting and watch the graph respond to it.

Hand/Off/Auto control switches the drive between manual and automatic operation, and the listing says this selection persists. That means the mode you choose stays set rather than resetting each time you open the app.
