Description
About the LXM32S
About the LXM32S
The Schneider Electric LXM32SU90M2 is a Lexium 32 LXM32S single-phase motion servo drive with integrated SERCOS III fieldbus, delivering 3 A continuous output current at 8 kHz from a 100-120 V / 200-240 V single-phase supply, rated 0.5 kW nominal power at 230 V. It provides 2 capture digital inputs, 3 discrete outputs, and an integrated STO safety function.

Selection Notes
The LXM32SU90M2 is the single-phase entry point of the LXM32S SERCOS III series, running from a 100-120 V or 200-240 V single-phase line rather than the three-phase supply the LXM32SD30N4 needs — pick it for smaller single-axis machines on standard single-phase mains. Natural-convection cooling (no integrated fan) reflects its lower 3 A / 0.5 kW continuous rating, so keep cabinet airflow in mind at the top of its ambient temperature range.
Applications
Single-axis servo control on SERCOS III motion networks running from single-phase mains, paired with a BMH 70 mm servo motor at up to 0.5 kW.
