This initial launch will be followed by further product, service and solution offers in the first half of 2007.

Apart from coming with auto-tuning and macros, the new motor/drive combination also feature Schneider Electric technology to create the most open control platform in the market.

The new products are designated the Lexium 05 servo drive range from Telemecanique, a brand of Schneider Electric.
Positioned alongside the well established Altivar range of AC inverters, Altistart motor starters, the Modicom, Quantum and Unity PLC offers, Magelis HMIs, sensors, switches, relays and pushbuttons, all within the Telemecanique portfolio, the new Lexium products will complete a total automation and control package.
