VW3E1118R020 SCHNEIDER Input module

Brand：SCHNEIDER Model number：VW3E1118R020

Country of origin: France Product weight：0.55kg

HS code：853710119

Product Details：

Product Dimensions：

The VW3E1118R020 is part of Schneider Electric's Motionbus cable portfolio, engineered to support the demanding requirements of high-speed industrial servo systems. It comes factory-terminated with pre-fitted connectors at both ends to guarantee proper shielding, optimal signal integrity, and fast installation. The "R020" in the product reference indicates a specific fixed length of $2.0 \text{ meters}$ ( $6.56 \text{ feet}$ ). Its primary function is to transmit position, speed, and status data from the motor's encoder back to the servo drive without interference, which is critical for closed-loop motion control.

Product Parameters

Product Designation: Encoder cable
Range Compatibility: PacDrive 3 motion control system
Product Compatibility: Designed for connection between SH3 or ILM series servo motors and PacDrive LXM32 or Lexium/PacDrive controller inputs
Cable Length: $2.0 \text{ meters}$
Connector Type: Pre-assembled connectors tailored for motor-end encoder interfaces and drive-end feedback ports
Cable Shielding: Fully shielded cable construction to prevent electromagnetic interference
Weight: Approximately $0.2 \text{ kg}$ to $0.3 \text{ kg}$
Environmental Resistance: Designed with an oil-resistant and flame-retardant outer sheath suitable for industrial environments

Product Advantages

A major advantage of the VW3E1118R020 is its pre-assembled, plug-and-play design, which eliminates time-consuming field wiring errors and significantly reduces installation time during commissioning. The high-quality double-shielded construction provides superior noise immunity, preventing signal degradation and feedback errors caused by neighboring power cables or high-voltage machinery. Furthermore, the cable features a highly durable outer jacket that resists mechanical wear, oils, and industrial chemicals, making it exceptionally reliable over long operational cycles in harsh production environments.

Important Considerations and Precautions

When routing the VW3E1118R020, care must be taken to observe the minimum bending radius specified for PacDrive cables to avoid internal conductor fatigue or damage to the shielding layer. Although the cable is shielded, power and feedback cables should still be routed in separate conduits or channels whenever possible to minimize cross-talk. Before applying power to the system, ensure that both connectors are fully seated and securely locked into their respective sockets to prevent intermittent feedback faults. Never pull on the cable sheath itself when disconnecting; always pull directly from the connector body. Lastly, verify that the $2.0 \text{ meter}$ length is sufficient for your axis travel without putting tension on either end connector.

Product Applications

The VW3E1118R020 encoder cable is widely used in high-performance industrial automation environments that rely on the PacDrive 3 platform.

Packaging Machinery: Used in high-speed wrapping, cartoners, and labeling machines where precise motor feedback is essential for synchronization.
Material Handling: Integrated into robotic pick-and-place units, gantry systems, and automated sorting equipment.
Food and Beverage Automation: Applied in bottling lines and processing machinery that demand continuous operation and resistance to ambient contaminants.
Converting and Printing: Connecting servo drives and motors in high-accuracy tension control and printing registration systems.
