SI-P3/V Comm.Interface Profibus DP

Why Choose the Yaskawa SI-P3/V PROFIBUS-DP Communication Option Card?

The Yaskawa SI-P3/V is a dedicated PROFIBUS-DP communication option card designed for integration with Yaskawa V1000 inverter drives. This module allows the drive to connect directly to industrial PROFIBUS networks, enabling centralised control, monitoring and diagnostics through PLC-based automation systems.

By installing the SI-P3/V option card, engineers can exchange operational commands, drive parameters and status data between the inverter and a PROFIBUS-DP master controller. This integration allows the drive to become a network node within distributed automation systems, simplifying wiring and improving machine control architecture.

The module supports high-speed fieldbus communication using the widely adopted PROFIBUS-DP protocol, enabling reliable real-time control and monitoring of industrial motor drives across manufacturing and processing environments.

This integration allows automation engineers to monitor motor performance, issue commands and access diagnostic information from a central control system, improving efficiency and simplifying machine architecture.

Typical Applications

• PROFIBUS-based factory automation systems.
• PLC-controlled motor drive installations.
• Packaging and production machinery.
• Material handling and conveyor systems.
• Industrial automation requiring networked drive control.
