Resolver encoder interface module for Lexium 32M servo drives, 9-pin female connector.
Description
About the VW3M3401
About the VW3M3401
The Schneider Electric VW3M3401 is a resolver encoder interface module for the Lexium 32 servo drive, letting a Lexium 32M read position feedback from a resolver-equipped motor instead of a digital or analog encoder. It connects through a single 9-pin female connector and installs in the drive's encoder interface slot, matching the Lexium 32M's modular feedback architecture.
Selection Notes
The VW3M3401 is the resolver option in the Lexium 32 encoder-interface family; choose it when the servo motor on the machine uses a resolver for position feedback rather than the digital (VW3M3402) or analog (VW3M3403) encoder types, since the three cards are not interchangeable with a different motor feedback type. It plugs into the same slot and connector location on the Lexium 32M across the family, so swapping motor feedback type only means swapping this card.
Applications
Matches a Lexium 32M servo drive to a resolver-feedback servo motor in machines where the motor or an OEM retrofit specifies resolver feedback instead of a digital or analog encoder.
