7.6 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 con-
necting the various components in SINAMICS, e.g. Control Unit, Line Module, Mo-
tor Modules and encoders.
DRIVE-CLiQ enables the following characteristics:
S Automatic detection of components by the Control Unit
S Standard interfaces to all components
S Standardized diagnostics down to component level
S Standardized service down to component level
Electronic type plate
The electronic type plate contains the following data:
S Component type (e.g. SMC20)
S Order no. (e.g. 6SL3055-0AA0-5BA0)
S Manufacturer (e.g. SIEMENS)
S Hardware version (e.g. A)
S Serial no. (e.g. “T-PD3005049)
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:
S Via STARTER
by creating the configuration and loading it to the drive
S Via quick commissioning (automatic configuration)
The actual topology is read and the target topology written to the
CompactFlash card.
