Hardware configuration

The SIMATIC Drive Controller controls SINAMICS Integrated over the integrated drive and the
drive group over the comprehensive range of SINAMICS S120 power units (Line Modules and
Motor Modules).
Hardware components
The basic configuration of a system with the SIMATIC Drive Controller comprises the
following components:
• SIMATIC Drive Controller
This includes the SIMATIC S7-1500 TF CPU and SINAMICS Integrated.
The SIMATIC Drive Controller can alternatively control:
– A max. of 6 servo drives; or
– A max. of 6 drives with vector control; or
– A max. of 12 drives with U/f control
• SINAMICS Line Module
The Line Module generates the DC link from the network.
• SINAMICS Motor Modules
Motor Modules are powered by the DC link and supply the connected motors.
• DRIVE-CLiQ components
In SINAMICS S120, the individual components of the drive system communicate with each
other over DRIVE-CLiQ. The SIMATIC Drive Controller has 4 DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces.
Alongside the power components, encoder systems and special DRIVE-CLiQ I/O devices
can also be connected over DRIVE-CLiQ.
