CN3 encoder connector kit for Easy Lexium 16 LXM16D servo drives, IEEE 1394 10-pin.
Description
About the VW3M4A31
About the VW3M4A31
The Schneider Electric VW3M4A31 is a CN3 encoder connector kit for the Easy Lexium 16 range, used to build an encoder cordset for an LXM16D servo drive. The kit includes an IEEE 1394 10-pin connector, a shielded chassis, a connector housing and two spring clamps for the connection port, covering the full 0.1-1.5 kW LXM16D range.
Selection Notes
The VW3M4A31 terminates the encoder-feedback cordset on an LXM16D servo drive, completing the Easy Lexium 16 connector set alongside the VW3M4A11 (CN1 control) and VW3M4A21 (CNP power) kits - each covers a different cordset on the same drive, so a full custom cable set needs all three. The IEEE 1394 10-pin connector and shielded chassis match the encoder shielding requirement for the LXM16D's feedback input.
Applications
Used to field-terminate the encoder feedback cordset on an LXM16D servo drive when building a custom cable instead of ordering a pre-made encoder cord.
