VFD vs Servo Drive: Key Differences
A side-by-side comparison of VFD and servo drive motor type, feedback, dynamic response, overload rating, cost, and applications for industrial engineers.
The Schneider Electric VW3M8705 is a memory card for Schneider's Lexium servo drive range, compatible with both the Lexium 32 and Lexium 32i drive control units. Weighing 0.005 kg, it is an extension accessory that plugs directly into the servo drive's memory-card slot, with 300 units supplied per package 2 carton for volume ordering.
The VW3M8705 fits both the Lexium 32 and Lexium 32i drive control units, so the same memory card can be kept as a spare across both generations of the servo drive range. At 0.005 kg it adds negligible mass to a drive and ships 300 to a package 2 carton, making it practical to stock as a maintenance spare rather than order one at a time.
