What this 0.1 kW servo drive delivers for a motion axis
The Schneider Electric LXM18ESU01M2X is a motion servo drive from the Easy Lexium 18 family, rated 0.1 kW nominal power at 220...240 V single-phase input with an 8 kHz switching frequency. It delivers 1.2 A continuous output current at 8 kHz and can supply 3.9 A for 3 seconds peak — enough for short acceleration bursts on a small indexing axis. Integrated STO (safe torque off) meets the safety function requirement for guarding applications without an external safety relay, simplifying the safety circuit design.
Communication and control interface for EtherCAT networks
The drive carries an integrated EtherCAT interface plus digital I/O, so it connects directly to an EtherCAT motion bus without an add-on module. Supply voltage range is 170...255 V single phase at 50/60 Hz, with the network frequency tolerance of 47.5...63 Hz covering weak mains conditions.
Panel fit and environmental limits
The compact housing measures 48 mm wide by 155.5 mm high by 166.5 mm deep — a 48 mm slot on the DIN rail is all it needs, leaving room for adjacent drives or a line reactor. Rated IP20, so it is intended for a clean, dry enclosure; operating ambient is -5 to 45 °C with no derating up to 1000 m altitude. The drive ships without an internal EMC filter — an external filter may be needed at the line input to meet conducted emission limits, depending on the installation.
