Schneider Lexium 62 ILM Integrated Servo Drive

Decentralized Multi-Axis Motion Control for PacDrive 3

The Schneider Lexium 62 ILM Integrated Servo Drive is a decentralized servo solution designed for multi-axis machine automation based on PacDrive 3. It combines the servo motor and drive electronics into an integrated unit, allowing machine builders to move servo functionality closer to the machine axis instead of installing every servo drive inside the main control cabinet.

Schneider Electric currently lists the Lexium 62 ILM range from 0.31 kW to 1.91 kW for PacDrive 3 automation solutions.

We Tech Power Solutions Ltd supplies Schneider Electric motion-control products for OEMs, machine builders, system integrators and industrial automation projects across Ahmedabad, Gujarat and India.

Why Choose an Integrated Servo Architecture?

Traditional servo systems generally place the drive electronics inside the electrical cabinet and connect them to motors installed throughout the machine.

Lexium 62 ILM takes a different approach.

The drive electronics are integrated with the servo motor, creating a decentralized motion architecture.

This can be particularly useful when a machine contains multiple servo axes distributed across different sections.

Key advantages include:

• Reduced cabinet-mounted servo hardware

• More decentralized machine architecture

• Optimized machine wiring

• Efficient multi-axis installation

• Better use of control-panel space

• Scalable servo-axis architecture

• PacDrive 3 integration

Schneider describes Lexium 62 ILM specifically as a multiaxis integrated servo-drive range for PacDrive 3.

Lexium 62 ILM: Motor + Drive in One Unit

The defining feature of the ILM platform is its integrated construction.

Instead of:

Controller → Cabinet Servo Drive → Motor

the architecture becomes:

PacDrive Controller → Communication Network → Integrated Servo Motor + Drive

This places the drive electronics at the machine axis.

For OEM machine builders, this approach can be useful when servo axes are physically distributed throughout the equipment.

Built for PacDrive 3

Lexium 62 ILM is not a general-purpose servo drive intended for every automation architecture. It is specifically positioned within the PacDrive 3 motion-control ecosystem.

A typical system can include:

• PacDrive 3 controller

• Lexium 62 ILM servo axes

• Connection modules

• Sercos III communication

• Hybrid cabling

• Machine I/O

• HMI

• Safety components

Schneider's Lexium portfolio identifies Lexium 62 as a multi-axis servo system for PacDrive 3, while Lexium 62 ILM provides the integrated-drive implementation.

Multi-Axis Motion Without Filling the Control Cabinet

As the number of servo axes increases, a conventional control cabinet can require considerable space for individual servo drives, power wiring and associated components.

With Lexium 62 ILM, the servo drive is distributed with the motor.

This can help machine builders create:

Central Control Cabinet

PacDrive Controller

Power Distribution

I/O

Network Components

↓

Distributed Servo Axes

ILM Axis 1

ILM Axis 2

ILM Axis 3

ILM Axis 4

ILM Axis 5

The result is a machine architecture where motion hardware is positioned closer to the mechanical axes.

Schneider highlights the space and wiring benefits of its integrated-drive concept, although the actual savings depend on machine design, cable routing and installation architecture.

Sercos III Communication

Communication is an important part of a decentralized motion system.

Lexium 62 ILM uses the Sercos III-based PacDrive 3 architecture for coordinated motion communication. Schneider also provides dedicated Sercos III daisy-chain cables for Lexium 62 ILM installations.

This architecture allows multiple servo axes to participate in coordinated machine movement.

It can support machine requirements such as:

• Axis synchronization

• Position control

• Speed control

• Coordinated motion

• Indexing

• Repetitive positioning

• High-speed machine sequences

The exact motion functions depend on the PacDrive controller, software and complete system configuration.

Connection Modules for Distributed Installation

Lexium 62 ILM installations can use dedicated connection modules to organize the connection between the integrated servo axes and the system power/communication architecture.

For example, Schneider documents the ILM62CMD20A000 connection module for connecting Lexium 62 ILM systems to an LXM62 power supply drive.

Dedicated Sercos III daisy-chain cables are also available in different lengths, including 5 m and 10 m references.

This makes it possible to design a more organized distributed servo network across larger machines.

Integrated Digital I/O Options

The Lexium 62 ILM ecosystem also includes digital I/O modules.

Schneider documents the VW3E702100000 Lexium 62 ILM digital I/O module with 8 digital I/O points, including configurable inputs and outputs.

This can help machine builders address selected local I/O requirements within the decentralized motion architecture.

The exact I/O requirement should be evaluated against the machine's controller, safety system and local-device architecture.

Power Range of Lexium 62 ILM

The Schneider Lexium 62 ILM range currently covers 0.31 kW to 1.91 kW.

The range is intended for distributed servo axes where integrated drive technology is beneficial.

When selecting a unit, do not select solely on kW. The machine designer should also evaluate:

• Continuous torque

• Peak torque

• Motor speed

• Acceleration

• Load inertia

• Mechanical transmission

• Duty cycle

• Encoder requirements

• Brake requirements

• Environmental conditions

Motor Configuration Matters

Lexium 62 ILM selection involves more than choosing a power rating.

Depending on the exact reference, the integrated servo solution can have different mechanical and feedback characteristics.

Before ordering, verify:

• Motor power

• Rated speed

• Torque

• Encoder configuration

• Shaft design

• Brake requirement

• Flange/mechanical configuration

• Cable requirements

• Connection architecture

The complete Schneider order number should therefore be confirmed before purchase or replacement.
