Detailed Description – Schneider Electric Lexium Servo Drive Portfolio

1. Series Overview – Precision Motion Control Solutions

Schneider Electric’s Lexium servo drive portfolio delivers high‑speed, precise positioning for motion‑centric machines. Spanning from compact single‑axis drives to high‑performance multi‑axis systems, Lexium drives enable synchronized motion control across a wide power range up to 24 kW . They are designed to simplify machine engineering, commissioning, and maintenance – reducing time‑to‑market and increasing machine productivity .

Key Family Features:

• ✓ Wide power range – 0.05 kW to 11 kW (standard drives), up to 24 kW system power 

• ✓ Integrated safety – Safe Torque Off (STO) standard; optional eSM module adds SS1, SS2, SOS, SLS functions 

• ✓ Compact design – Booksize format, high power density (548 W/l) saves cabinet space 

• ✓ Fast response – Speed bandwidth up to 1,600 Hz for outstanding dynamic performance 

• ✓ Flexible communication – Modbus, CANopen, PROFIBUS DP, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP 

• ✓ Simplified commissioning – SoMove software, auto‑tuning function, Bluetooth configuration support 

2. Lexium 32 – The Versatile Workhorse

The Lexium 32 range includes four servo drive models and two motor families: BMH (medium inertia) and BSH (low inertia). It covers power ratings from 0.15 to 11 kW .

Key Specifications:

• ✓ Power range: 0.15 – 11 kW 

• ✓ Torque range: 0.5 – 88 N·m (motor dependent) 

• ✓ Speed bandwidth: Up to 1,600 Hz 

• ✓ Power density: 548 W/l – packs maximum power into minimal volume 

• ✓ Safety: STO on board; optional eSM for advanced safety functions 

• ✓ Communication: Modbus standard; CANopen, PROFIBUS, EtherNet/IP via option cards 

Applications: Packaging, material handling, food & beverage, electronics, general motion control .

Example Models:

• Lexium 32 Compact – cost‑optimized for basic applications

• Lexium 32 Advanced – full performance for demanding axes

• Lexium 32 Modular – scalable multi‑axis solutions 

3. Lexium 28 – Pre‑Configured Simplicity

Lexium 28 offers pre‑determined drive‑motor combinations based on power class, simplifying selection and installation. Drives cover 0.05 to 4.5 kW with 200–240V single‑phase supply .

Key Features:

• ✓ Pre‑matched combinations – drive and motor share the same power class 

• ✓ Voltage: 200–240V AC, single phase 

• ✓ Power range: 0.05 – 4.5 kW 

• ✓ Cost‑optimized – ideal for basic motion applications

Applications: Single‑axis machines, packaging, material handling.

4. Lexium 62 / PacDrive 3 – Decentralized Integrated Servo Drives

The PacDrive 3 range features decentralized integrated servo drives (ILM series) designed for distributed automation architectures. Drives are mounted directly on or near the motor, reducing cabinet space and wiring .

Key Specifications:

• ✓ Power range: 0.31 – 1.91 kW per module 

• ✓ Supply voltage: 250 – 700 V 

• ✓ Protection rating: IP65/IP67 – dustproof and washdown‑resistant 

• ✓ Cooling: Fanless, natural convection – eliminates moving parts and reduces noise 

• ✓ Feedback: Absolute single‑turn SinCos Hiperface encoder 

• ✓ Communication: SERCOS interface with PacDrive LMC motion controllers 

• ✓ Safety: STO function standard 

Applications: Multi‑axis machines, robotics, packaging automation, harsh environments .

Example Models:

• ILM0703P31A0000 – 70mm flange, 720W, 6000 RPM, IP65 

5. Lexium Integrated Drives – Decentralized Flexibility

Lexium integrated servo drives serve as decentralized drives in machine building. When combined with a Modicon controller or PLC, they create complex control architectures at minimum cost . These drives support AC synchronous servo motors, DC brushless motors, or stepper motors, offering broad application flexibility .

Key Features:

• ✓ Decentralized design – reduces cabinet space and wiring costs

• ✓ Multiple motor compatibility – AC servo, brushless DC, stepper

• ✓ System power – up to 24 kW 

• ✓ SERCOS communication – real‑time synchronized motion control
