FV5-U3 / PN Profinet Servo
Full-function servo direction for Profinet-oriented machine architecture, rich I/O and engineering integration.
Engineering selection, not blind model matching.
This page separates published product information from project-specific engineering advice. Final ordering code depends on the full suffix, controller, protocol, mounting, quantity and destination.

Complete selection classification
Use this table for pre-selection. Confirm the latest official FLEXEM datasheet before ordering.
| Network direction | Profinet-oriented integration; exact variant must be confirmed |
|---|---|
| Other interfaces | FV5-U3 family can include EtherCAT / RS485 / I/O variants depending on ordering code |
| Safety | STO availability depends on exact product variant |
| Encoder | Confirm motor and encoder type |
| Engineering focus | Siemens PLC architecture · device configuration · cyclic data · alarms · motion mode |
| Selection | Power · voltage · motor · protocol · I/O · brake · mechanical fit |
Important: published values may vary by exact model suffix. Product compatibility, certificates, mounting dimensions and accessories require final confirmation.

Selection questions
Can this be connected to any Siemens PLC?
Verify PLC model, Profinet capability, engineering software, telegram/profile and drive variant.
Is Profinet the same as EtherCAT?
No. They differ in architecture, device integration and real-time implementation; select by controller ecosystem and machine needs.
Does the servo include STO?
Only on applicable variants. Confirm the exact ordering code and safety design.
Need price, lead time or compatibility confirmation?
Send the exact model / current installed model, quantity, controller/protocol and destination. We verify first, then quote.
