- Description
The Schneider Electric VW3A3608 is a communication module that adds CANopen and CANmotion connectivity to Altivar 32, Altivar Machine ATV320/ATV340, Altivar Process ATV600/ATV900/Modular and Lexium 32 drives. It uses two RJ45 connectors wired for daisy-chain installation, letting drives be linked node-to-node along a single CANopen trunk without a separate junction block at every node.

Selection Notes
Choose the VW3A3608 over the SUB-D9 CANopen variant when the installation needs daisy-chain RJ45 wiring between adjacent drives rather than point-to-point SUB-D9 drops - the two RJ45 ports let each module pass the bus through to the next drive without a separate junction block. It covers the same CANopen and CANmotion range as the SUB-D9 module (Altivar 32, ATV320, ATV340, ATV600, ATV900, Lexium 32), so the choice between the two comes down to the cabling style already used on the line.
