12.9 DRIVE-CLiQ topology

12.9 DRIVE-CLiQ topology
Introduction
The term topology is used in SINAMICS to refer to a wiring harness with DRIVE-CLiQ
cables. A unique component number is allocated to each component during the start-up
phase.
DRIVE-CLiQ (Drive Component Link with IQ) is a communication system for connecting the
various components in SINAMICS (e.g. Control Unit, Line Module, Motor Modules, motors,
and encoders).
DRIVE-CLiQ supports the following properties:
● Automatic detection of components by the Control Unit
● Standard interfaces to all components
● Standardized diagnostics down to component level
● Standardized service down to component level
Electronic rating plate
The electronic type plate contains the following data:
● Component type (e.g. SMC20)
● Order number (e.g. 6SL3055-0AA0-5BA0)
● Manufacturer (e.g. SIEMENS)
● Hardware version (e.g. A)
● Serial number (e.g. "T-PD3005049)
● Technical specifications (e.g. rated current)
Actual topology
The actual topology is the actual DRIVE-CLiQ wiring harness.
When the drive system components are started up, the actual topology is detected
automatically via DRIVE-CLiQ.
Target topology
The target topology is stored on the CompactFlash card on the Control Unit and is compared
with the actual topology when the Control Unit is started up.
The target topology can be specified in two ways and saved on the CompactFlash card:
● Via STARTER
● Via quick commissioning (automatic configuration):
504
by creating the configuration and loading it onto the drive
the actual topology is read and the target topology written to the CompactFlash card.
