The Schneider VW3A3628 is a CANopen / CANmotion communication module designed for integration of Altivar variable speed drives and Lexium motion systems into industrial CANopen networks. It provides a flexible fieldbus interface for real-time control, diagnostics, and parameter exchange between PLCs and drives.
This module is widely used in Altivar 32, ATV320, ATV340, ATV600, ATV900, and Lexium 32 systems, especially in decentralized automation architectures where CANopen is the preferred network protocol.
