Binding Drive-Cliq Rules - Siemens SINAMICS S120 Function Manual

12.10.2

Binding DRIVE-CLiQ rules

The wiring rules below apply to standard cycle times (servo control 125 µs, vector control
250 µs). For cycle times that are shorter than the corresponding standard cycle times,
additional restrictions apply due to the computing power of the Control Unit (configured using
the SIZER engineering tool).
Note
A Double Motor Module, one DMC20, one DME20, one TM54F and one CUA32 each
correspond to two DRIVE-CLiQ participants. This also applies to Double Motor Modules, at
which just one drive is configured.
The following generally binding DRIVE-CLiQ rules must be observed to ensure safe
operation of the drive.
● A maximum of 14 DRIVE-CLiQ nodes can be connected to one DRIVE-CLiQ line at a
● A maximum of 8 Motor Modules may be connected to one Control Unit. For multi-axis
● With vector U/f control, it is only permissible to connect more than 4 participants to one
● Ring wiring of components is not permitted.
● Double wiring of components is not permitted.
● DRIVE-CLiQ components of unknown type within a topology are functionally not
● In a DRIVE-CLiQ topology with a CU link and DRIVE-CLiQ connections, precisely one

The following criteria denote the unknown type:
– Characteristics of the component are not available.
– A deputy drive object is not defined.
– An assignment of the component to a known drive object (DO) is not defined.
Control Unit is permissible as a CU Link master/DRIVE-CLiQ master.
