Backup battery, Lexium 18, for BCH18 multi-turn encoder, cable-accessory spare part.
Description
About the VW3M8BAT1
About the VW3M8BAT1
The Schneider Electric VW3M8BAT1 is a backup battery accessory for the Lexium 18 range, used to retain absolute position data on a multi-turn encoder for BCH18 servo motors. It is supplied as a cable-accessory spare part compatible with Lexium 18 servo motors, packed 25 to a package 2 carton for maintenance stock, with a listed net weight of 55 g.
Selection Notes
The VW3M8BAT1 backs up the multi-turn position count on a BCH18 servo motor's encoder, so position data survives a power-down without forcing a homing cycle on the next start-up. It is specific to multi-turn encoder installations; a motor running an incremental encoder does not need this battery, since there is no multi-turn position count to preserve.
