Active Line Module
Controlled, self–commutating feed/feedback unit (with –> "IGBT"s in feed/feedback
device), which supplies the DC link voltage for the –> "Motor module"s.
Antrieb
The drive includes the motor (electric or hydraulic), the actuator (converter, valve),
the control unit, measuring system, and supply components (line infeed module,
pressure reservoir).
For electric drives, a distinction is made between a converter system and an in-
verter system. With a converter (e. g. –> "MICROMASTER 4"), the line infeed, the
actuator, and the control component form a single device from the point of view of
the user. With an inverter system (e. g. –> "SINAMICS S"), the supply is ensured
by means of a –> "Line module", thereby realizing a DC link to which the –> "In-
verters" (–> "Motor module"s) are connected. The –> "Control unit" is implemented
as a separate device and connected to the other components by means of
–> "DRIVE–CLiQ".
Antriebsgerät
The drive unit includes all the components connected via –> "DRIVE–CLiQ" that
are required for carrying out drive tasks: –> "Motor module" –> "Control unit"
–> "Line module", and the required –> "Firmware" and –> "Motor"s, but not addi-
tional components (such as filters or reactors).
Several –> "Drive"s can be implemented in a drive unit.
See –> "Drive system".
