Sensor System Connection

4.1

Introduction

The sensor modules evaluate the signals from the connected motor sensors or external
sensors and convert them to DRIVE-CLiQ. The sensor system can only be connected to
SINAMICS S120 via DRIVE-CLiQ, whereby motor sensors are connected to the associated
motor module, while external sensors are connected to the control unit. In conjunction with
motor sensors, the motor temperature can also be evaluated using sensor modules.
Cabinet-mounted sensor modules (SMC)
Cabinet-mounted sensor modules (SMC) can be ordered and configured separately. They
can be used when a motor with a DRIVE-CLiQ interface is not available and when external
sensors in addition to the motor sensor are required. Only one sensor system can be
connected to each cabinet-mounted sensor module (SMC). Only sensor systems in which
the power supply for the sensor system is not grounded may be connected.
