Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Current Vector Control General-purpose Varispeed G7/F7 
Inverter and a SI-T MECHATROLINK-I/MECHATROLINK-II Communications Interface 
Card (called “SI-T Card” below).

This manual describes the operation and specifications of the SI-T Card, which connects to 
the MECHATROLINK-I/MECHATROLINK-II high-speed field network for exchanging 
data. Be sure that you have read and understood this manual before attempting to operate the 
SI-T Card. 

For details on operating the Inverter itself, refer to the Varispeed G7/F7 Series Instruction 
Manual (TOE-S616-60.1, TOE-S616-55.1).

Yaskawa Electric, Inc.
