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
various components in SINAMICS (e.g. Control Unit, Line Module, Motor Module, motor and
encoder).
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
The electronic rating plate contains the following data:
● Component type (e.g. SMC20)
● Article 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)
The actual topology corresponds to the actual DRIVE-CLiQ wiring harness.
When the drive system components are started up, the actual topology is detected
automatically via DRIVE-CLiQ.
The target topology is stored on the memory card on the Control Unit and is compared with
the actual topology when the Control Unit is started up.
