Product Overview

The A8NDPV1 PROFIBUS Option Board allows information to be transferred seamlessly between
an FR-A800 or FR-F800 series inverter and a PROFIBUS network with minimal configuration re-
quirements. The interface installs directly onto the inverter's control board, and presents a stand-
ard DSUB port for connection to the PROFIBUS network.
The option board is connected directly to the control board of the inverter and communicates
with the inverter via a built-in communication port. Note that when the inverter's network com-
munication port is used by the A8NDPV1 PROFIBUS Option Board, it is unavailable for use by any
other network.
Before using the option board, please familiarize yourself with the product and be sure to thor-
oughly read the instructions and precautions contained in this manual. In addition, please make
sure that this instruction manual is delivered to the end user of the product, and keep this instruc-
tion manual in a safe place for future reference or unit inspection.
