About This Product
The DeviceNet option provides a communications connection between the drive and an
ODVA DeviceNet network. The SI-N3 DeviceNet Option connects the drive to a DeviceNet
network and facilitates the exchange of data.
This manual explains the handling, installation and specifications of this product.
DeviceNet is a communications link to connect industrial devices (such as limit switches,
photoelectric switches, valve manifolds, motor starters, smart motor controllers, operator
interfaces, and variable frequency drives) as well as control devices (such as 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 "like" components from multiple vendors.
By installing the DeviceNet Option to a drive, it is possible to do the following from a
DeviceNet master device:
• Operate the drive
• Monitor the operation status of the drive
• Change parameter settings.
