DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces
All SINAMICS S120 drive system components, including the motors and encoders, are
interconnected by a shared serial interface called DRIVE-CLiQ. The standardized cables and
connectors reduce the variety of different parts and cut storage costs.
DRIVE-CLiQ has the following properties:
● Automatic detection of components by the control unit
● Standardized interfaces to all components
● Uniform diagnostics down to the components
● Complete service down to the components
● 24 V / 450 mA per DRIVE-CLiQ interface are provided for the connection of encoders and
