Description
About the VW3M9106
About the VW3M9106
The Schneider Electric VW3M9106 is a Lexium 32i connector module with industrial M12 Ethernet and M8 I/O connectors for the LXM32i EtherCAT and Profinet control units. It provides 4 source discrete inputs and the STO (safe torque off) safety function, replacing screw-terminal wiring with pre-moulded industrial connectors for faster field installation.
Selection Notes
Specify the VW3M9106 for LXM32i EtherCAT or Profinet drives wired with industrial M12/M8 connectors rather than terminal blocks — its 4 source inputs and STO safety function match the terminal-wired connector modules in this range electrically, so the choice comes down to connector style rather than I/O count. It is the connection accessory for the motor BMI paired with the Lexium 32i drive control unit, and is supplied in packs of 12.
