DRIVE-CLiQ

SINAMICS Integrated has 4 DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces. For each DRIVE-CLiQ interface, you
have 24 V/450 mA for connecting encoders and measuring systems.
You can connect all components of SINAMICS Integrated including the motors and encoders
over the common DRIVE-CLiQ interface.
DRIVE-CLiQ implements a high-performance point-to-point connection for internal drive
communication between the various drive components.
The DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces of the SIMATIC Drive Controller are, for example, used for:
● Connecting the power units (Line Module, Motor Modules) to the automatic speed control
of SINAMICS Integrated
● Connecting motors with DRIVE-CLiQ interface to the Motor Modules
● Connecting encoder systems over Sensor Modules Cabinet-Mounted (SMC) or Sensor
Modules External (SME)
● Addition of drive I/Os using Terminal Modules (TM)
Over the DRIVE-CLiQ interface, SINAMICS Integrated detects all connected drive
components after switch-on. During operation, cyclical drive-related data is exchanged with
the drive components on an isochronous basis, for example parameters and diagnostics
data.
Advantages and customer benefits
DRIVE-CLiQ provides the following advantages:
● Automatic detection of the connected components reduces commissioning work
● Standardized cables and connectors reduce the variety of different parts and cut storage
costs.
● Consistent diagnostics through to the drive components
● Encoder evaluations for converting standard encoder signals to DRIVE-CLiQ are
available for third-party motors or retrofit applications.
