Hub properties

DRIVE-CLiQ hub characteristics
The DMC20 and DME20 DRIVE-CLiQ hub modules are used to implement point-to-point
distribution of a DRIVE-CLiQ line. With the DMC20/DME20, an axis grouping can be
expanded with four DRIVE-CLiQ sockets for additional subgroups.
● DMC20 is the hub for the control cabinet configuration
● DME20 is the hub for use without a control cabinet (IP67 degree of protection).
The modules are especially suitable for applications which require DRIVE-CLiQ nodes to be
removed in groups, without interrupting the DRIVE-CLiQ line and therefore the data
exchange.
Application examples
Typical applications of DRIVE-CLiQ hubs are encoder expansion and hot plugging.
● In an encoder expansion, direct measuring systems are connected. For example, these
● Hot plugging is the option for changing motor modules while in operation. To do so, the

Cascading is permitted one time only (from hub to hub).

connected to one hub in the cabinet.
motor modules are connected via a DRIVE-CLiQ hub in the form of a point-to-point
topology. This means they can be deactivated without impairing downstream components
(via cascading).
