The Schneider Electric LXM32CD30M2 is an active-production Lexium 32 single-phase motion servo drive, rated 10 A continuous at 8 kHz switching frequency and peaking at 30 A for 5 seconds at 230 V. It delivers 0.8 kW on a 115 V line and 1.6 kW on 230 V — enough for a compact positioning axis or a pick-and-place stage without stepping up to a three-phase supply. The drive has an integrated EMC filter, which simplifies panel layout — no external module needed for most installations. It operates on 100–120 V or 200–240 V (-15% / +10%) at 50/60 Hz and draws roughly 9.9 A at 115 V (with external line choke). Book format fits a standard enclosure backplate.
Commissioning reality
From a field perspective, this drive is straightforward. The integrated EMC filter spares you a last-minute scramble for a separate filter when the panel inspector flags emissions. Single-phase input keeps wiring simple — no worrying about phase rotation on a swap. The continuous 10 A at 8 kHz is the number to check against your motor's continuous current; the 30 A peak (for up to 5 seconds) covers acceleration and deceleration without oversizing the drive. The drive accepts ±10 V analog command or pulse/direction input. This is the basic motion-control interface — not fieldbus, so you'll need the appropriate option card for Ethernet/IP or Modbus TCP if your line requires it. The book format uses a standard EMC-compliant backplate; mounting dimensions follow the Lexium 32 family pattern, so swapping a failure in a multi-axis cabinet is a few screws and a terminal check.
