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 VW3M9104 is a CANopen industrial connector module for the Lexium 32i range, wiring 2 source-logic discrete inputs into the LXM32i CANopen drive control unit for the BMI power-stage servo motor. It communicates over CANmotion and CANopen DS402, weighs 0.211 kg, and ships 12 to a package 2 carton without an integrated safety function.
The VW3M9104 brings 2 source-logic discrete inputs to the LXM32i CANopen drive over an industrial connector, without the STO safety function built into the 2 DI and 4 DI STO versions in the same Lexium 32i connector-module family. Choose it when the machine's safety circuit is handled elsewhere and hardware safe-torque-off at this connector is not required.
