Schneider Electric ILM (Lexium) Motors

The ILM series from Schneider Electric (Lexium) are integrated-drive servo motors. As with other brands of integrated-drive servo motors, we do not support the drive portion with our test equipment. The servo technician must bypass the drive connections and connect directly to the encoder and motor windings. 

The encoders equipped on these motors are SICK Stegmann SKS/SKM series and will use the direct-to-encoder test cable TI-5094 in addition to the TI-5104 module. 

Below is the motor model breakdown showing the type of feedback to be expected.

Memory Support

The memory data from these encoders appears to be compatible with our Schneider BMH memory test. Our software can be used to decode the motor's unique data, and to program a replacement encoder if needed. Each motor has a unique alignment angle written into the data file.  

Depending on your software version, it may report errors during testing because we have not yet added the ILM series to our allowable models. You can ignore these errors and proceed. 

Before removing the encoder from the motor's shaft we suggest to always record the incoming alignment value to compare the results with the ones retrieved from the Memory Test (pictured below).
