SI-N3/V Comm.Interface DeviceNet

Why Choose the Yaskawa SI-N3/V DeviceNet Communication Option Card?

The Yaskawa SI-N3/V is a DeviceNet communication option card designed to enable direct integration of Yaskawa V1000 inverter drives into DeviceNet industrial fieldbus networks. By installing this module, the drive can communicate with PLCs, controllers and other network devices, allowing centralised control and monitoring of motor drive systems.

The option card enables real-time communication between the inverter and a DeviceNet master controller. Through the network, engineers can issue run commands, adjust speed references and monitor drive status, alarms and diagnostic information directly from the automation system.

The SI-N3/V is widely used in factory automation environments where DeviceNet networks coordinate communication between drives, sensors and control equipment. Its compact plug-in design allows quick installation into compatible drives while maintaining the reliability and performance expected from Yaskawa automation products.
