The drive LXM32S features a slot (Slot 2) for encoder modules allowing for the connection of an additional encoder (machine encoder) or an encoder of a third-party motor (motor encoder).
This manual describes the 3 different encoder modules:
Description |
Reference |
---|---|
Encoder module ANA (analog interface) with HD15 D-SUB connection (female) |
VW3M3403 |
Encoder module DIG (digital interface) with HD15 D-SUB connection (female) |
VW3M3402 |
Encoder module RSR (resolver interface) with DE9 D-SUB connection (female) |
VW3M3401 |
The encoder modules can be used for two different purposes:
Increased positioning accuracy due to direct measurement of the position with an additional encoder (machine encoder)
Support of encoders of third-party motors (motor encoder)
An additional encoder (machine encoder) mounted to the machine can be operated together with a Schneider Electric motor.

(1) Is treated like SinCos 1Vpp. The serial communication of the SinCos Hiperface interface is not used for positioning. (2) Available with firmware version ≥V01.06 of the drive LXM32S. |
Third-party motors can be operated in conjunction with an encoder module. Various interfaces are available for the encoders of such motors (motor encoders).

(1) A linear encoder with a SinCos Hiperface interface can be used like a linear encoder with a SinCos 1Vpp (without Hall) interface. |
Only permanent magnet AC synchronous servo motors are supported.
