SI-N3 Comm. Interface DeviceNET
MPN: SI-N3
Alt. SKU: 100-046-869
Why Choose the Yaskawa SI-N3 DeviceNet Communication Option?
The Yaskawa SI-N3 is a dedicated DeviceNet communication option card designed for compatible Yaskawa AC drives. It provides a communication link between the drive and an ODVA DeviceNet industrial network, enabling network-based drive control, monitoring, diagnostics and parameter access.
Using a DeviceNet master controller or PLC, the SI-N3 allows operators to start and stop the drive, send speed references, monitor operating status and access drive parameters through the network. It is widely used in industrial automation systems requiring reliable fieldbus communication.
