‹ About This Product
The SI-P3 PROFIBUS-DP Option is an open digital communication system supporting a wide range of fast, time-critical
applications.
PROFIBUS Decentral Periphery (PROFIBUS-DP) is one of the three PROFIBUS variants. DP is dedicated to fast data
communication between systems and peripherals at a field level. This option connects a Yaskawa drive to a field network
using the PROFIBUS-DP protocol.
PROFIBUS-DP is included into the European Fieldbus Standard EN 50170.
The network is primarily used in process and factory automation.
Installing the option to a Yaskawa drive allows a PROFIBUS-DP master device to:
• operate the drive
• monitor the operation status of the drive
• change parameter settings.
