The Altivar 32 Drives have been created and designed alongside a range of communication cards. Through the use of Communication Cards the Altivar 32 VFD’s (variable frequency drives) can also be connected to other industrial communication buses and networks.

• The communication cards are available in a “cassette” format and are easy to use.
• Easy to mount and remove.
• Facilitates the exchange of data.
• Offers users an easy option of networking solutions that reduces the cost and time to wire and install factory automation devices.
• Seamless integration into the main control system architectures.
• Facilitates customisation to specific applications.

• The communication port protocol is for a EtherCAT.
• Has an electrical connection of two connectors RJ45.
• The transmission rate is 100 Mbps .
• This particular model has a cable distance of <= 100 m for 100 Mbps.
• The VW3A3601 Communication card has a display type pf one LED input status, one LED RUN, 1 LED error and one LED output status.
