Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
The following models are commonly evaluated as replacements or equivalents for the Yaskawa AB-PCI-PRT-S. Always verify firmware version and drive series compatibility before substitution.
- Yaskawa SI-P3/V – PROFIBUS-DP option for V1000 series (direct functional equivalent for V1000 applications)
- Yaskawa SI-P3 – PROFIBUS-DP option for A1000 / E7 / F7 / G7 series
- Yaskawa CM091 – Legacy PROFIBUS communication card (older E7/G7 platforms)
- Anybus X-gateway AB7000 – Protocol gateway for PROFIBUS-DP to other fieldbus conversion (third-party bridge solution)
- Hilscher CIFX 50-PB – PCI PROFIBUS master/slave card (system-level replacement in PC-based control)
Note: Third-party equivalents may require additional configuration. Konmask recommends using genuine Yaskawa option boards for warranty-critical applications.

Selection Guide
Use the table below to select the correct PROFIBUS option board for your Yaskawa drive series:
- A1000 series → SI-P3 or AB-PCI-PRT-S (AB3609-C) ✓
- V1000 series → SI-P3/V (dedicated V1000 option slot)
- E7 / F7 / G7 series → AB-PCI-PRT-S (AB3609-C) ✓ or CM091 (legacy)
- J1000 / J7 series → No native PROFIBUS option; use external gateway
- GA700 / GA800 series → SI-EP3 (newer generation option board)
If you are unsure which option board fits your drive, send us your drive nameplate data and we will confirm compatibility within 24 hours.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can AB-PCI-PRT-S replace SI-P3 directly?
A: Both are PROFIBUS-DP option boards for Yaskawa drives, but they are designed for different drive generations. AB-PCI-PRT-S targets E7/F7/G7/A1000; SI-P3 is the current A1000 standard option. Verify the option slot type on your drive before substituting.
Q: Is a GSD file available for this board?
A: Yes. Contact Konmask support and we will provide the correct GSD file for your PROFIBUS master configuration.
Q: Can I use this board with a Siemens S7-1500 PLC?
A: Yes, via PROFIBUS-DP. Import the GSD file into TIA Portal and configure the drive as a DP slave device.
Q: What is the difference between AB-PCI-PRT-S and AB3609-C?
A: AB3609-C is the Yaskawa internal assembly/revision code for the AB-PCI-PRT-S communication board. They refer to the same physical product.
Q: Do you supply new or refurbished units?
A: Konmask supplies both new-in-box and inspected surplus units. Stock type is indicated at checkout. Contact us if you require new-only supply.
