0.2 kW servo drive with integrated EtherCAT
The LXM18MESU02M2X is a Schneider Electric Easy Lexium 18M motion servo drive rated for 0.2 kW nominal power at 200...240 V single phase with an 8 kHz switching frequency. It carries an integrated EtherCAT communication interface and a Safe Torque Off (STO) function, making it a compact node for a daisy-chained motion network.
Current ratings and motor sizing
Continuous output current is 1.6 A at 8 kHz; the drive can deliver 5.8 A for 3 seconds peak, which covers acceleration and deceleration transients for a small servo motor without oversizing the drive. Line current draw is 2.3 A at 200...240 V single phase — budget this for the branch circuit and upstream protection.
