identication number, rating data (voltage, current, torque) to the control unit. The MOTION-
CONNECT DRIVE-CLiQ cable is used universally for connecting the various encoder types.
These motors simplify commissioning and diagnostics, as the motor and encoder type are
identied automatically.
Encoder connection on motors with DRIVE-CLiQ
Motors with DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces can be directly connected to the corresponding Motor
Module via the available MOTION-CONNECT DRIVE-CLiQ cables. This data is transferred directly
to the Control Unit.

Cables on motors with DRIVE-CLiQ
With DRIVE-CLiQ, the same cable is used for all encoder types. Only pre-assembled cables from
Siemens (MOTION-CONNECT) may be used.
