DMC20 hub properties

DRIVE-CLiQ hub properties
The DMC20 DRIVE-CLiQ hub can be used to extend the number of DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces
and to configure a star topology. You must increase the number of DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces if
connecting the following additional components to the SIMOTION D410:
● Direct measuring systems
● Terminal modules
● Reduction of the network hierarchy levels
A star topology has the following advantages:
● The components can operate as end node of your segment.
● Line communication is not affected.
Application examples
Encoder expansion and hot-plugging are typical applications implemented by means of a
DRIVE-CLiQ hub.
● An encoder expansion involves integration of direct measuring systems. These are
● Hot plugging is the option for changing motor components while in operation. These

installed in the control cabinet directly at the machine. Several encoders can be
connected to the same hub.
Note:
The SIMOTION D410 has precisely one DRIVE-CLiQ interface. You can use the DMC20
to evaluate the motor encoder and an additional encoder by means of SMx.
components are connected to a star topology using a DRIVE-CLiQ hub. This setup allows
their deactivation without impairing downstream components.
