Interconnection of the DRIVE-CLiQ components
System overview
The SINAMICS S120 components are connected with each other using an integrated bus
system, the DRIVE-CLiQ. Not only can be the individual modules of the drive system,
such as Line Modules and Motor Modules, connected with the Control Unit, but also motor
encoders or external encoders can be connected with the Motor Modules.
Conversion modules (Sensor Module Cabinet) for the conversion of traditional encoder
signals on DRIVE-CLiQ are available for non-Siemens motors and retrofit applications.
The following figure shows a sample configuration with different system components.
