Schneider Electric VW3M3308 Lexium 32 PROFINET Fieldbus Module Servo Drive Accessory
PROFINET fieldbus module for Lexium 32M servo drives, dual RJ45, 10/100 Mbit/s, 256 addresses.
Description
About the VW3M3308
About the VW3M3308
The Schneider Electric VW3M3308 is a PROFINET fieldbus module for the Lexium 32 servo drive range, giving the Lexium 32M drive a PROFINET RT communication port. It connects through two RJ45 ports for daisy-chain wiring, running at 10 Mbit/s or 100 Mbit/s and addressing up to 256 nodes, with four LEDs reporting communication status at the drive.
Selection Notes
The VW3M3308 fits the PROFINET communication slot on Lexium 32M drives, adding a PROFINET RT network port where the base drive only offers its native fieldbus-free interface. The two RJ45 ports allow line-topology daisy-chaining between adjacent drives on the same PROFINET segment, and the four-LED display gives local link and status diagnostics without opening commissioning software.
Applications
Used to add PROFINET connectivity to Lexium 32M servo drives in machines that standardize on a PROFINET RT backbone for motion and I/O, such as packaging and material-handling cells coordinated from a PROFINET PLC.
