DRIVE-CLiQ topology

The term topology is used in SINAMICS to refer to a wiring harness with DRIVE-CLiQ
cables. A unique component number is allocated to each component during the start-up
phase.
DRIVE-CLiQ (Drive Component Link with IQ) is a communication system for connecting
various components in SINAMICS (e.g. Control Unit, Line Module, Motor Module, motor and
encoder).
DRIVE-CLiQ supports the following properties:
● Automatic detection of components by the Control Unit
● Standard interfaces to all components
● Standardized diagnostics down to component level
● Standardized service down to component level
Electronic rating plate
The electronic rating plate contains the following data:
● Component type (e.g. SMC20)
● Order number (e.g. 6SL3055-0AA0-5BA0)
● Manufacturer (e.g. SIEMENS)
● Hardware version (e.g. A)
● Serial number (e.g. "T-PD3005049)
● Technical specifications (e.g. rated current)
Actual topology
The actual topology corresponds to the actual DRIVE-CLiQ wiring harness.
When the drive system components are started up, the actual topology is detected
automatically via DRIVE-CLiQ.
Target topology
The target topology is stored on the memory card on the Control Unit and is compared with
the actual topology when the Control Unit is started up.
The target topology can be specified in two ways and saved on the memory card:
● Using STARTER
● Using quick commissioning (automatic configuration):

by creating the configuration and loading it onto the drive
the actual topology is read and the target topology written to the memory card.
