Drive object
A drive object is an autonomous, individual software function with its own -> "Parameters"
and may also have its own -> "Fault"s and -> "Alarm"s. Drive objects may exist by default
(e.g. On Board I/O) can be created individually (e.g. –> "Terminal Board" 30, TB30) or also
as multiples (e.g. –> "Servo Control"). As a rule, each drive object has its own window for
parameterization and diagnostic purposes.
Drive parameters
Parameters of a drive axis that include, for example, the parameters of the corresponding
controllers, as well as the motor and encoder data. The parameters of the higher-level
technology functions (positioning, ramp-function generator), however, are called –>
"Application Parameters".
See –> "Basic Unit System".
Drive system
The drive system includes all the components in a product family (e.g. SINAMICS). A drive
system comprises, for example, -The drive system includes all the components in a product
family (e.g. SINAMICS). A drive system comprises, for example, SINAMICS. A drive system
comprises -> "Line Module"s, -> "Motor Module"s, -> "Sensors", -> "Motors", -> "Terminal
Module"s and -> "Sensor Module"s as well as additional components (reactors, filters,
cables, etc.).
See -> "Drive unit"
Drive group
A drive group comprises a -> "Control Unit" and the and the -> "Motor Module"s and -> "Line
Module"s connected via -> "DRIVE-CLiQ".
CompactFlash Card
Memory card for non-volatile storage of the drive software and corresponding –>
"Parameters". The memory card can be plugged into the –> "Control Unit" from outside.
Control unit
Central control module in which the closed-loop and open-loop control functions for one or
more -> "SINAMICS" -> "Line Module"s and/or -> "Motor Module"s are implemented.
There are three types of Control Unit:
- SINAMICS Control Units, e.g. -> "CU320"
- SIMOTION Control Units, e.g. -> "D425" and -> "D435"
- SINUMERIK solution line Control Units, e.g. NCU710, NCU720 and NCU730
Double Motor Module
Two motors can be connected to and operated with a Double Motor Module.
See –> "Motor Module" –> "Single Motor Module"
Former term: –> "Double-axis module"
