VFD vs Servo Drive: Key Differences
A side-by-side comparison of VFD and servo drive motor type, feedback, dynamic response, overload rating, cost, and applications for industrial engineers.
The Schneider Electric VW3M4B12 is an I/O connector kit for the Lexium 18 range, built around a 20-pin SCSI connector for field-terminating control I/O wiring on a Lexium 18 servo drive. It is a spare-part connection kit with no cable or heat-shrink boot included, matched to the drive side of the Lexium 18 connection set, without a separate cable or boot supplied.
The VW3M4B12 terminates I/O wiring on a Lexium 18 servo drive using a 20-pin SCSI connector, the drive-side counterpart to the VW3M4B11 motor-side 50-pin SCSI kit in the same accessory set. As a bare connector kit it needs crimping or soldering to complete a custom cordset rather than arriving as an assembled cable.
Used to field-terminate control I/O wiring on a Lexium 18 servo drive when building a custom cordset, such as replacing a damaged factory-made I/O cable.
