DRIVE-CLiQ wiring
Introduction
The components of the SINAMICS S120 drive family and the SIMOTION D4x5‑2 with CX32‑2
are wired together by means of DRIVE‑CLiQ. DRIVE‑CLiQ is a communication system that
enables the SIMOTION D4x5‑2 to detect the connected components automatically. It provides
a wiring tree whose topology can be visualized in SIMOTION SCOUT.
Note
For information on the number of DRIVE‑CLiQ interfaces and their properties, refer to the
SIMOTION D4x5‑2 Manual.
Rules for the DRIVE‑CLiQ wiring
The following rules must be followed for DRIVE‑CLiQ wiring:
● Ring wiring is not permitted
● Components must not be double-wired
● For a motor module, the power line for the motor and the associated motor encoder must
