August 7, 2013 – Schneider Electric Motion adds fieldbus to motors. Lexium MDrive motors products are now available with industrial fieldbus technologies: Ethernet protocol including EtherNet/IP and ModbusTCP; and CANopen protocol. LMD products with internal encoder also include hMTechnology. hMT closes the feedback loop, which eliminates many negatives traditionally associated with stepper systems and offers a lower cost solution for a range of servo motor applications. A variable current/variable torque control feature can also reduce heat, save energy and lower operating costs in a wide variety of motion applications.
For ease of use, an intuitive user software suite is provided for all product versions. And all Lexium MDrive products are backed by an extended warranty that doubles the previous 2-year coverage period to 4-years. Lexium MDrive products are currently available in two motor sizes, NEMA 23 & 34, with operating power range of 12 up to 70 VDC. An expanded product line, including additional NEMA motor sizes and communication protocols, will debut at PackExpo Las Vegas, September 23-25, at the Schneider Electric booth #5650. Schneider Electric Motion USA is a division of Schneider Electric, a global company with operations in more than 100 countries offering integrated solutions across multiple market segments.
