What does this connector plug do in a Lexium 28 system?
It provides a Sub-D 50‑pin plug connection for the CN1 I/O interface on Lexium 28 servo drives (LXM28), allowing external I/O wiring to be terminated to the drive’s CN1 port.
Which drive range is it intended to be used with?
It is designed for Schneider Electric Lexium 28 systems and is compatible with LXM28 servo drives as a CN1 I/O interface connector plug.
How many connectors are supplied in one set?
The standard supply is a set of 3 connector plugs. (This is commonly referenced under VW3M1C12.)
What connector format and pin count does it use?
It is a Sub-D format connector plug with 50 pins, intended for the CN1 I/O interface connection.
Is this used for power or signal connections?
It is intended for the I/O interface (signals) via the CN1 connection, not for the main power connection of the servo drive.
Where does it physically connect on the drive?
It mates with the CN1 I/O interface port on a compatible Lexium 28 (LXM28) servo drive.
Can it be used as a spare for panel builds and commissioning?
Yes. Because it is supplied as a set, it is often used to keep spares on hand for panel builds, rapid replacement, or standardising wiring looms across multiple axes using LXM28 drives.
Is it supplied as a complete cable assembly?
No. It is a connector plug intended to be integrated into your own wiring/cable arrangement for the CN1 I/O interface.
Are there any substance or compliance notes to be aware of?
It is noted as REACh SVHC-free and PVC-free, and is described as outside the legal scope of the EU RoHS directive for this product category. It may also carry a Proposition 65 warning relating to lead/lead compounds.
What are the typical unit pack dimensions and weight for handling in stores?
A single retail pack is typically around 7.4 cm (H) × 8.6 cm (W) × 5.2 cm (L) with a weight of about 50 g per packaged unit.
- Connecting the CN1 I/O interface of Schneider Lexium 28 (LXM28) servo drives to external control and field wiring via a 50‑pin Sub‑D connector
- Building or replacing the I/O harness between an LXM28 drive and a PLC or machine control cabinet terminal arrangement
- Creating tidy, repeatable panel wiring for commissioning and machine builds where a Sub‑D 50‑pin I/O interface is required
- Restoring damaged or missing CN1 I/O connector plugs during maintenance to re-establish reliable I/O connections
- Supporting machine retrofits and control cabinet refurbishments that reuse the LXM28 CN1 I/O interface format
- Preparing spare connector plugs for planned downtime, enabling quick changeover of I/O cabling on Lexium 28 installations
- Standardising I/O terminations across multiple identical axes in multi‑servo systems using the same CN1 I/O connection style
