Schneider Electric VW3A66205 Communication Board Interface

VW3A66205 Communication Carrier Module is a Schneider Electric field-installed option for Altivar 66 ATV66 drives, functioning as the dedicated carrier for external communications interfaces and installed separately from the drive’s main PCMCIA slot to enable network connectivity for the ATV66 family. It is documented as a Field Installed Kit in Schneider Electric’s Altivar 66 documentation and is listed alongside other VW3A66 field-installed options such as the I/O extension modules VW3A66201T and VW3A66202T, underscoring its role as a communications accessory rather than a core drive component. When installed, the carrier supports the drive’s communications capabilities by providing the interface carrier required for adding network interfaces or communication cards without altering the drive’s internal PCMCIA slot. The VW3A66205 designation also appears in Schneider Electric change notices and product literature as the dedicated communications carrier module for ATV66 drives.
