SI-C3 Comm. Interface CCLink

Why Choose the Yaskawa SI-C3 Communication Interface Option Card?

The Yaskawa SI-C3 is a DeviceNet communication interface option card designed for integration with Yaskawa 1000-series inverter drives, including the A1000 and related models. This module enables the drive to connect directly to DeviceNet industrial networks, allowing seamless communication with PLCs, controllers and automation systems.

By installing the SI-C3 option card, the inverter drive becomes a fully integrated node within a DeviceNet fieldbus network. This allows centralised control of drive parameters, real-time monitoring of operational data and simplified automation system architecture.

The module supports high-speed industrial communication and allows engineers to reduce hardwired control connections by integrating drives into digital automation networks commonly used in manufacturing environments.
