SCHNEIDER LEXIUM 28

Schneider Lexium 28 Servo Drive

Compact Servo Motion Control for High-Precision Machines

The Schneider Lexium 28 Servo Drive is a compact motion-control solution designed for machine builders requiring accurate positioning, controlled speed, dynamic motion and coordinated servo operation.

The Lexium 28 range is designed to work with Schneider BCH2 servo motors, providing an optimized servo combination for compact machines. Schneider currently lists the Lexium 28 and motors portfolio from 0.05 kW to 4.5 kW.

We Tech Power Solutions Ltd supplies Schneider Electric motion-control products for OEM machinery, automation systems and industrial applications across Ahmedabad, Gujarat and India.

Why Use a Servo Drive Instead of a Standard VFD?

A conventional AC drive is generally selected when the primary requirement is variable motor speed. A servo system is used when the machine also needs accurate positioning, controlled acceleration/deceleration, repeatable motion and dynamic response.

The Lexium 28 can therefore be considered for machines where:

• Position accuracy is important

• Rapid acceleration and deceleration are required

• Repeatable movements are required

• Motor speed must be precisely controlled

• Multiple machine movements need coordination

• Compact motion-control hardware is preferred

Schneider's servo-drive portfolio describes servo systems as closed-loop motion solutions for applications requiring precise position and speed control.

Lexium 28 + BCH2 Servo Motor

Lexium 28 is intended to be used as part of a servo system rather than as an isolated drive.

The Lexium 28 servo drive works with compatible BCH2 servo motors to provide a coordinated motor-and-drive solution for compact machines. Schneider specifically describes the combination as optimized servo bundles for compact machines.

A typical servo system includes:

Controller / PLC

Provides the machine sequence and motion commands.

Lexium 28 Servo Drive

Processes the motion command and controls the servo motor.

BCH2 Servo Motor

Converts the electrical command into controlled mechanical movement.

Feedback System

Provides motor-position information for closed-loop motion control.

This architecture allows the machine controller and servo system to work together for accurate movement.

Designed for Precise Machine Movement

The Lexium 28 is particularly useful where a machine needs controlled positioning rather than simple continuous rotation.

Typical motion requirements include:

• Point-to-point positioning

• Repetitive indexing

• Controlled acceleration

• Controlled deceleration

• Speed regulation

• Position correction

• Coordinated machine movements

• High-repeatability operations

These characteristics make the drive suitable for compact automated machines where accuracy and repeatability directly affect production quality.

Automatic Tuning & Motor Identification

One of the practical features highlighted by Schneider on Lexium 28 references is automatic tuning and motor identification.

This can simplify the commissioning process by helping configure the servo system for the connected motor and machine. Schneider also highlights the Lexium 28 as optimized for easy integration and commissioning in machines.

This can be particularly useful for OEMs developing machines that need a repeatable servo commissioning process.

PLCopen Motion Library

Lexium 28 references are associated with PLCopen motion libraries, supporting standardized motion-control programming concepts within compatible automation architectures.

This can help machine developers implement functions such as:

• Positioning

• Homing

• Velocity control

• Motion sequencing

• Acceleration/deceleration

• Axis commands

The exact controller, software environment and supported motion functions should be verified for the selected system configuration.

Compact Solution for OEM Machines

Machine builders often need to achieve precise motion without significantly increasing cabinet size.

Lexium 28 is designed around compact-machine applications and is available in a relatively broad low-power servo range.

This makes it suitable for equipment such as:

• Compact packaging machines

• Pick-and-place systems

• Labelling machines

• Small assembly machines

• Indexing systems

• Material handling equipment

• Printing machinery

• Textile machines

• Electronic assembly equipment

• OEM special-purpose machines

Schneider's Lexium portfolio specifically identifies packaging, material handling, material working, electronics and food & beverage among motion-centric machine applications.

Available Power Range

The current Schneider Lexium 28 portfolio covers servo-drive and motor combinations from 0.05 kW to 4.5 kW.

Examples of Schneider Lexium 28 references include:

• LXM28AUA5M3X – 50 W

• LXM28AU01M3X – 100 W

• LXM28AU02M3X – 200 W

• LXM28AU04M3X – 400 W

• LXM28AU10M3X – 1 kW

• LXM28AU20M3X – 2 kW

• LXM28AU45M3X – 4.5 kW

The 50 W, 100 W, 400 W, 1 kW, 2 kW and 4.5 kW references are currently documented by Schneider Electric India.

Exact electrical characteristics, motor compatibility and required accessories depend on the complete order number.

How to Select the Correct Lexium 28 Servo System

Servo selection should be based on the complete mechanical and electrical requirements of the machine.

1. Define the Motor Power

Determine the required servo motor power from the machine's:

• Load

• Speed

• Torque

• Acceleration

• Duty cycle

2. Calculate Required Torque

The servo motor needs sufficient torque to overcome:

• Load inertia

• Friction

• External forces

• Acceleration requirements

• Gravity where applicable

Schneider's servo-drive guidance also emphasizes torque estimation based on acceleration/inertia, friction and external forces.

3. Determine Maximum Speed

Check the required:

• Continuous speed

• Maximum speed

• Acceleration time

• Deceleration time

4. Check Positioning Accuracy

Identify the required:

• Position resolution

• Repeatability

• Indexing accuracy

• Motion profile

5. Select the Compatible Motor

Select a BCH2 servo motor that matches the Lexium 28 drive and the machine's torque/speed requirements.

6. Check Controller Compatibility

Verify the PLC or motion controller, communication architecture and required motion-control functions.

7. Confirm Accessories

Depending on the system, also verify:

• Motor cables

• Encoder/feedback connections

• Braking requirements

• Communication accessories

• Mounting requirements

• Protection components

8. Provide the Complete Order Number

For replacement applications, the complete existing Lexium 28 drive and motor references are the safest starting point for compatibility verification.
