Application examples
Encoder expansion and hot-plugging are typical applications implemented by means of a
DRIVE-CLiQ hub.
● An
encoder expansion involves integration of direct measuring systems. These are installed
in the control cabinet directly at the machine. Several encoders can be connected to the
same hub.
Note:
The SIMOTION D410 has precisely one DRIVE-CLiQ interface. You can use the DMC20/
DME20 to evaluate the motor encoder and an additional encoder by means of SMx.
● Hot plugging is the option for changing motor components while in operation. These
components are connected to a star topology using a DRIVE-CLiQ hub. This setup allows
their deactivation without impairing downstream components.

5.12.2 Creating a DRIVE-CLiQ hub
The hub is not wired when you insert the DMC20/DME20 and is displayed in the topology tree
in the component storage. The hub has to be wired manually. Proceed as follows:
1. Right-click the "Topology" entry in the Project Navigator.
2. Select the "Insert new object" > "DRIVE-CLiQ Hub" command from the shortcut menu and
confirm with "OK".
3. Double-click "Topology" to open the topology tree.
The hub is saved to the component storage of the topology tree.
4. Drag-and-drop the hub to the required DRIVE-CLiQ interface.
The components connected to the hub are displayed in the topology tree.
The hub you inserted is displayed as icon at the "Topology" entry in the Project Navigator. All
components connected to a hub are also displayed in the course of automatic configuration.
5.13 Creating and programming TM41
5.13.1 Overview
The TM41 terminal module can be used to expand the number of digital I/O and of analog
inputs within a drive system. TM41 also returns TTL signals which emulate an incremental
encoder, for example, for a master control system.
