The VW3AP3628 is a CANopen and CANmotion communication module for the Altivar drive family, terminated with a spring-clamp 5-way terminal block. It sits inside a standard enclosure — the module cannot be ordered or used standalone; it must be paired with an Altivar drive enclosure that accepts this option slot.
Listed lifecycle stage is mature, and the product status is active — meaning Schneider continues to manufacture and support this module for current Altivar installations. No end-of-life notice or successor part has been issued. For a spare that backs up an existing line, this is a straightforward replenishment: one in the cabinet, one on the shelf.
