DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces
DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces
All SINAMICS S120 drive system components, including the motors and encoders, are
interconnected by a shared serial interface called DRIVE‑CLiQ. The standardized cables and
connectors reduce the variety of different parts and cut storage costs.
DRIVE‑CLiQ has the following properties:
● Automatic detection of components by the Control Unit
● Standardized interfaces to all components
● Uniform diagnostics down to the components
● Complete service down to the components
● 24 V / 450 mA per DRIVE‑CLiQ interface are provided for the connection of encoders and
measuring systems.
Note:
The DRIVE‑CLiQ cables with 24 V supply should be used only for components that require
this (e.g. motors with a DRIVE‑CLiQ interface).
