YASKAWA ELECTRIC SIEP C730600 82D YASKAWA AC Drive Option SI-P3 Technical Manual 7
2Overview
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:
• Operate the drive
• Monitor the drive operation status
• Change drive parameter settings
Compatible Products
The option can be used with the products in Table 1.

Failure to comply will cause death or serious injury.
Before servicing, disconnect all power to the equipment and wait for at least the time specified on the warning label.
The internal capacitor remains charged even after the drive is de-energized. The charge indicator LED will extinguish
when the DC bus voltage is below 50 Vdc. When all indicators are OFF, measure for unsafe voltages to confirm the
drive is safe.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Do not operate equipment with covers removed.
Failure to comply could cause death or serious injury.
The diagrams in this section may include options and drives without covers or safety shields to illustrate details.

Install the Option
Remove the front covers of the drive before installing the option. Refer to the drive instruction manual for directions on
removing the front cover. Cover removal varies depending on drive size. This option can be inserted only into the CN5-A
connector located on the drive control board.
DANGER! Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not inspect, connect, or disconnect any wiring while the drive is energized. Failure to comply
will cause death or serious injury. Before servicing, disconnect all power to the equipment and wait for at least the time specified on the
warning label. The internal capacitor remains charged even after the drive is de-energized. The charge indicator LED will extinguish
when the DC bus voltage is below 50 Vdc. When all indicators are OFF, measure for unsafe voltages to confirm the drive is safe.
1. Shut off power to the drive, wait the appropriate amount of time for voltage to dissipate, then remove the keypad
(D) and front covers (C, F).
Refer to the manual packaged with the drive for details on keypad and cover removal.
NOTICE: Damage to Equipment. Observe proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures when handling the option, drive, and
circuit boards. Failure to comply could cause ESD damage to circuitry.

Note: Only two screws are necessary to install the option on a GA700 or GA800 drive. A ground wire is not necessary. The option
package ships with three screws and a ground wire for installation on other product series. Do not use the ground wire or the
extra screw.

5. Confirm proper option wiring.
Depending on the drive model, some drives may require routing the wiring to the outside as shown in Figure 16.
Route the wiring inside the enclosure through the lower wiring cover to the outside as shown in Figure 17 for the
drives that do not require routing the wiring to the outside.
6. Select the proper PROFIBUS-DP dedicated communication cable according to Table 7 and Table 8.
Firmly connect the PROFIBUS-DP communication cable to option communication connector CN4.
Install PROFIBUS-DP communications cables apart from main-circuit wiring and other electrical and power
lines. Ensure the cable end is firmly connected (see Figure 19). Refer to Communication Cable
Specifications on page 22 for details.
Note: Maximum transmission distance is 100 m (328 ft). Minimum wiring distance between stations is 0.2 m (7.9 in).
7. After you connect the prepared cable for the 9-pin D-sub communication connector CN5, make sure that the
option wire routing from Step 6. is correct.
