About This Product
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.
Installing the option to a drive allows a DeviceNet master device to:
• operate the drive
• monitor the operation status of the drive
• change parameter settings.
