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 VW3M9110 is a Lexium 32i connector module that wires the EtherCAT control unit's I/O to screw terminals. It provides 4 sink/source discrete inputs and 2 discrete outputs, plus the STO (safe torque off) safety function, for the LXM32i drive control unit on EtherCAT networks, matching the terminal wiring style used on this range's CANopen variant.
Specify the VW3M9110 for LXM32i EtherCAT drives that need screw-terminal field wiring rather than industrial connectors — it carries the same 4 sink/source inputs, 2 outputs and STO safety function as the connector-style EtherCAT modules in this range, so the decision is wiring method, not 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.
