Description
About the VW3M9108
About the VW3M9108
The Schneider Electric VW3M9108 is a Lexium 32i connector module with industrial connectors for the LXM32i EtherCAT control unit. It provides 2 source discrete inputs and the STO (safe torque off) safety function, giving a compact, lower-channel-count alternative to the terminal-wired EtherCAT connector modules in the range, for machines that need fewer digital signals at the drive.
Selection Notes
Choose the VW3M9108 when the LXM32i EtherCAT drive only needs 2 discrete inputs and the STO safety function — it uses the same industrial-connector wiring style as the higher-I/O EtherCAT connector modules in this range, so upgrading channel count later means swapping the connector module, not the drive or cabling concept. It is the connection accessory for the motor BMI paired with the Lexium 32i drive control unit, and is supplied in packs of 6.
