Encoder system connection

Overview
Sensor Modules evaluate the signals from the connected motor encoders or external encoders
and convert the signals so that they can be evaluated by the Control Unit. The encoder system
connection to SINAMICS S120 drives is exclusively done via DRIVE-CLiQ. In conjunction with
motor encoders, the motor temperature can also be evaluated using Sensor Modules.
Rules
The following rules apply to connecting encoder systems via DRIVE-CLiQ:
• Motor encoders are connected to the associated Motor Module.
• External encoders are connected to the Control Unit.
