Schneider Electric LXM32IECT Lexium 32 EtherCAT Communication Module Servo Drive Accessory

The Schneider Electric LXM32IECT is an EtherCAT control-unit board for the Lexium 32i integrated servo drive range (0.6-2.2 kW), adding 2 safety discrete inputs, 4 logic discrete inputs and 2 logic discrete outputs over an M12 EtherCAT connector plus an RJ45 Modbus port. It carries an integrated Safe Torque Off function rated SIL 3 / PL e in an IP65 housing weighing 0.637 kg.

Selection Notes

Choose the LXM32IECT over the LXM32ICAN control unit when the motion network runs EtherCAT rather than CANopen/CANmotion — the two boards are not interchangeable, since the EtherCAT variant exposes only an M12 EtherCAT connector in place of the M12 CANmotion and CANopen ports on the CAN variant. Both of its 2 safety discrete inputs route directly to the drive's integrated Safe Torque Off function, so a SIL 3 / PL e safety circuit can remove torque without an external safety relay or contactor.
