Components

SINAMICS is a modular system that enables you to build your drive.
The key components of the SINAMICS modular system are:
S Control Unit
S Active Line Module (infeed)
S Motor Module (power section)
S Sensor Module
S Terminal Module
Fig. 1-1 shows the key drive components (the required 24 V DC power supply, line
filters, line reactors, line contactors, and power cables are not shown):

Interface (component connection)
The central Control Unit communicates with the intelligent, peripheral drive
components (Motor Modules, Terminal Modules, and Sensor Modules) via a
standard digital interface (DRIVE–CLiQ).
The physical arrangement of the connections between the Control Unit and
peripheral drive components is known as the DRIVE–CLiQ topology.
