Schneider with Servo Drive Systems

The part numbers VW3A3608 and VW3M3402 refer to accessory modules manufactured by Schneider Electric for use with their servo drive systems, primarily within the Lexium 32 and Altivar ranges. These are optional modules that extend the functionality of the main servo drive unit.

1. VW3A3608: CANopen Communication Module

• The VW3A3608 is a CANopen Daisy Chain communication module.
• Function: It allows the servo drive (or variable speed drive) to be integrated into a CANopen and/or CANmotion fieldbus network for process control.
• Compatibility: It is compatible with several Schneider Electric drive families, including:
  • Lexium 32 servo drives.
  • Altivar variable speed drives (such as Altivar 32, Altivar Machine ATV320/ATV340, and Altivar Process ATV600/ATV900).
• Connection: It features two RJ45 connectors for “daisy chain” wiring on the network.

2. VW3M3402: Encoder Interface Module

• The VW3M3402 is an Encoder Interface Module (an option card).
• Compatibility: It is primarily compatible with the Lexium 32M servo drive model.
• Supported Encoders: It supports common encoder types like:
  • A/B/I (Incremental)
  • SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface)
  • BiSS
  • EnDat 2.2
• Connection: It is typically furnished with a 15-way D-Sub (DE-15) female connector for the encoder connection.
