SI-S3/V Comm.Interface CANopen

Why Choose the Yaskawa SI-S3/V CANopen Communication Option Card?

The Yaskawa SI-S3/V is a dedicated CANopen communication option card designed for use with Yaskawa V1000 inverter drives. This module enables the drive to connect directly to a CANopen industrial fieldbus network, allowing PLCs and automation controllers to monitor and control the drive through standardised communication protocols.

Once installed, the SI-S3/V allows a CANopen master controller to operate the drive, monitor its status and read or modify drive parameters across the network. This allows seamless integration of motor drives into distributed automation systems where reliable real-time communication is required.

Supporting standard CANopen communication profiles including DS-301 and DSP-402, the option card enables advanced motion and drive control functions within industrial automation networks. Its compact plug-in design ensures straightforward installation into compatible Yaskawa drives.

Industrial CANopen Networking for Drive Systems

CANopen is a widely used communication protocol in industrial automation systems, particularly in machine control and motion applications. Option cards such as the SI-S3/V allow inverter drives to become nodes within a CANopen network, enabling controllers to manage motor drives alongside other automation devices such as sensors and actuators.

Through CANopen integration, automation engineers can control drive operation, monitor performance and access diagnostic data from a central controller, improving system visibility and simplifying machine architecture.

Typical Applications

• CANopen-based factory automation systems.
• PLC-controlled motor drive installations.
• Packaging and production machinery.
• Conveyor and material handling systems.
• Industrial automation systems requiring networked drive control.
