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 Decentralized 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.
Install the option/PROFIBUS option on a drive to perform the following functions from a
PROFIBUS-DP master device:
