DRIVE-CLiQ

SINAMICS Integrated has 4 DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces. For the 24 V DC supply of encoders and
measuring systems, 450 mA are available for each DRIVE-CLiQ interface.
You can connect all components of SINAMICS Integrated including the motors and encoders
over the common DRIVE-CLiQ interface.
DRIVE-CLiQ implements a high-performance point-to-point connection for internal drive
communication between the various drive components.
The DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces of the SIMATIC Drive Controller are, for example, used for:
• Connecting the power units (Line Module, Motor Modules) to the automatic speed control
of SINAMICS Integrated
• Connecting motors with DRIVE-CLiQ interface to the Motor Modules
• Connecting encoder systems over Sensor Modules Cabinet-Mounted (SMC) or Sensor
Modules External (SME)
• Addition of drive I/Os using Terminal Modules (TM)
Over the DRIVE-CLiQ interface, SINAMICS Integrated detects all connected drive components
after switch-on. During operation, cyclical drive-related data is exchanged with the drive
components on an isochronous basis, for example parameters and diagnostics data.
Advantages and customer benefits
DRIVE-CLiQ provides the following advantages:
• Automatic detection of the connected components reduces commissioning work
• Standardized cables and connectors reduce the variety of different parts and cut storage
costs.
• Consistent diagnostics through to the drive components
• Encoder evaluations for converting standard encoder signals to DRIVE-CLiQ are available
for third-party motors or retrofit applications.
