Overview

The SI-N3 Option provides a communications connection between the drive and an ODVA

DeviceNet network. The SI-N3 Option connects the drive to a DeviceNet network and

facilitates the exchange of data.

DeviceNet is a communications link that connects industrial devices (e.g., limit switches,

photoelectric switches, valve manifolds, motor starters, smart motor controllers, operator

interfaces, and variable frequency drives) and control devices (e.g., programmable

controllers and computers) to a network. DeviceNet is a simple networking solution that

reduces the cost and time to wire and install factory automation devices while providing

interchangeability of similar components from multiple vendors.

Install the option/DeviceNet option on a drive to perform the following functions from a

DeviceNet master device:

• Operate the drive

• Monitor the drive operation status

• Change drive parameter settings
