AltivarSchneider Electric VW3A3627 Altivar PROFINET Communication Module VFD Accessory
PROFINET communication module (100 Mbit/s, 2x RJ45) for Altivar ATV320/340/600/900 drives.
Description
About the VW3A3627
About the VW3A3627
The Schneider Electric VW3A3627 is a communication module that adds PROFINET connectivity to Altivar 32, Altivar Machine ATV320/ATV340, Altivar Process ATV600/ATV900/Modular drives. It transmits at 100 Mbit/s over two RJ45 ports, supports Link Layer Discovery Protocol for network topology detection, follows the PROFIdrive bus profile, and reports module and network status on two front-panel LEDs.
Certifications & Standards
- IEC 61800-7-201
Selection Notes
Choose the VW3A3627 for a plant standardized on PROFINET rather than PROFIBUS or EtherNet/IP, where the drive needs to sit on the same Ethernet backbone as PLCs and HMIs. Link Layer Discovery Protocol support simplifies network diagnostics by letting engineering tools map the physical topology automatically.
