DRIVE-CLiQ wiring

Cabinet Modules are shipped with all DRIVE-CLiQ connections ready wired within the cabinet. This applies
regardless of any options ordered. DRIVE-CLiQ connections between cabinets cannot be ready wired on shipped
units, as the customer's final implementation requirements cannot be determined from the order and the very wide
range of connection / topology options would make ready wiring impossible. This also applies to connections which
extend beyond a Booksize Cabinet Kit. These cable connections must be ordered separately.
The following cable routes are recommended:
Cabling routes for DRIVE-CLiQ connections on the air-
cooled Chassis units in frame sizes FX / GX and HX / JX
The appropriate DRIVE-CLiQ cables can be supplied pre-assembled in defined standard lengths up to 5 m, in meter
lengths up to 70 m or reeled cable with separately available connectors. For ordering information, please refer to the
catalog. Original Siemens DRIVE-CLiQ cables must always be used. These are designed with special qualities and
are thus the only cable type which can guarantee fault-free system operation.
Example of a cable length calculation:
The Cabinet Modules illustrated in the diagram above are operated on one Control Unit. This is mounted in the left-
hand Motor Module. (The diagram above also shows a CU320-2 in the right-hand Motor Module, but this is included
for sake of completeness only and will not be used in this example calculation. It is not possible to connect two
Control Units via DRIVE-CLiQ. Bus systems such as PROFIBUS or PROFINET must be used instead).
All the connections in the left-hand cabinet are pre-assembled at the factory. All the DRIVE-CLiQ connections,
including the connection to the encoder module, in the right-hand cabinet have also been made at the factory. The

Engineering Information
Cables inside the power unit must be installed in
accordance with the instructions for signal cables in
the EMC installation guideline. A route designed to
achieve minimum cross-interference and thus fault-
free operation is defined within the units. Moreover,
when cables are routed correctly, they will not
obstruct the replacement of components should this
be necessary. Proper cable routing also ensures that
cables can be securely mounted.
Cables inside the power unit are routed in the
direction of the bottom cabinet cross-beam, from
where they can be taken to the next cabinet. Cable
installation along
recomended to comply with the EMC installation
guideline.
For planning purposes, the distance between the
terminals on the Control Unit or power unit down to
the bottom cross-beam is 1.5 m for frame sizes FX
and GX and 1.4 m for frame sizes HX and JX.
The relevant cabinet width (indicated with x in the
diagram) can be used to plan the connection
distance between cabinets.
One exception is the Basic Line Module in the
version for parallel connection on a Line Connection
Module. The cable length calculation must be based
on 200 mm + x when cables are routed from the left-
hand side. The following can be assumed for routing
to the right: x = cabinet width -200 mm.

please refer to section "Booksize Base Cabinet/
Booksize Cabinet Kits".
