Communications Interface
The LMD Lexium MDrive integrated motor uses an isolated RS-422/485 communication interface with selectable BAUD rate ranging from 4.8 to 115 kb per second via a standard 9-pin D-subminiature connector. An optional USB to RS-422/485 Comm converter with cable is available and is compatible with all 32 and 64 bit operating systems. For ease of use, an intuitive user software suite is provided for all product versions.
From Q1 2019, Schneider Electric release a new Automation Library for improved control of industrial devices and motion control components over Profinet networks. The library add-on instructions (AOI) enhance the capabilities of Lexium MDrive® (LMD) products by providing executable code blocks to speed interface with popular Profinet PLCs including Siemens S7 PLCs. The Motion control with AOI automation library is available for free download HERE.
Typical applications: Packaging machines (e.g. bottles wrapped, bottles capping, strapping and bundling); Labeling machines, Handling machines, scanning (Medical or industrial X-Y positioning gantries), peristaltic pumps and laboratory automation and more...
All Lexium MDrive products are backed by an extended warranty that doubles the previous 2-year coverage period to 4-years.
