3.2  DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces 
The DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces are used to connect the components assigned to the 
SIMOTION D4x5 in the drive system (e.g., Active Line Module, Motor Modules, Terminal 
Modules, and Sensor Modules from the SINAMICS family).  
DRIVE-CLiQ has the following properties: 
•  Independent expansion of components possible 
•  Automatic detection of components by the control unit 
•  Standardized interfaces to all components 
•  Uniform diagnostics down to the components 
•  Complete service down to the components 
•  24 V / 450 mA per DRIVE-CLiQ interface are provided for the connection of encoders and 
measuring systems. 
Note: The DRIVE-CLiQ cables with 24 V supply should only be used only for components 
that require this (e.g., SMI).
