Glossary

Active Line Module
Controlled, self-commutating infeed/regenerative feedback unit (with -"IGBTs" in
infeed/regenerative feedback direction), which supplies the DC link voltage for the -> "Motor
Module".
Drive
The drive includes the motor (electric or hydraulic), the actuator (converter, valve), the
control, measuring system, and supply components (line infeed module, pressure reservoir).
For electric drives, a distinction is made between a converter system and an inverter system.
With a converter system (e.g. -> "MICROMASTER 4"), from the point of view of the user the
line infeed, actuator, and control component form a single device; with an inverter system
(e.g. -> "SINAMICS S"), the supply is ensured by means of -> "Line Module", thereby
realizing a DC link to which the -> "Inverters" (-> "Motor Module"s) are connected. The (–>
"Control Unit") is implemented as a separate device and connected to the other components
by means of –> "DRIVE-CLiQ".
Drive unit
The drive unit includes all the components connected via –> "DRIVE-CLiQ" that are required
for carrying out a drive task: -> "Motor Module" –> "Control Unit" –> "Line Module" and the
required –> "Firmware" and –> "Motor"s, but not additional components, such as filters or
reactors.
Several –> "Drive"s can be implemented in a drive unit.
See –> "Drive system".
