Schneider Electric 17S Series User Manual

2

This user guide is written for any qualified person at your site who is responsible for 
installing (mounting and interconnecting), operating, testing and maintaining your 
Lexium 17S SERCOS drive and the servo system equipment with which it 
interfaces. In addition, the following precautions are advised:

l

Transportation of the drive to, or from, an installation site should only be 
performed by personnel knowledgeable in handling electrostatically sensitive 
components.

l

Commissioning of the equipment should only be performed by personnel 
having extensive knowledge of, and experience with, electrical and drive 
technologies.

You are expected to have some overall understanding of what your 17S SERCOS 
drive does and how it will function in a high-performance, multi-axis motion control 
system. Accordingly, be sure you read and understand the general information, 
detailed descriptions and associated procedures presented in this manual, as well 
as those provided in other relevant manuals, before installing your 17S. (See 

later in this chapter.)

If you have questions, please consult your Schneider Electric customer 
representative.

This manual is organized as follows.
