1.5 Rules for wiring with DRIVE-CLiQ
Rules apply for wiring components with DRIVE-CLiQ. A distinction is made between binding
DRIVE-CLiQ rules, which must be unconditionally observed and recommended rules,
whichshould then be maintained so that the topology, generated offline in STARTER, no
longer has to be changed.
The maximum number of DRIVE-CLiQ components and the possible wiring type depend on
the following factors:
● The binding DRIVE-CLiQ wiring rules
● The number and type of activated drives and functions on the Control Unit in question
● The computing power of the Control Unit in question
● The set processing and communication cycles
Below you will find the binding wiring rules and some other recommendations as well as a
few sample topologies for DRIVE-CLiQ wiring.
The components used in these examples can be removed, replaced with others or
supplemented. If components are replaced by another type or additional components are
added, the SIZER tool should be used to check the topology.
If the actual topology does not match the topology created offline by STARTER, the offline
topology must be changed accordingly before it is downloaded.
1.5.1 Binding DRIVE-CLiQ rules
DRIVE-CLiQ rules
The wiring rules below apply to standard cycle times (servo 125 µs, vector 250 µs). For cycle
times that are shorter than the corresponding standard cycle times, additional restrictions
apply due to the computing power of the Control Unit (configured using the SIZER
configuration tool).
General DRIVE-CLiQ rules
The following general binding DRIVE-CLiQ rules must be observed to ensure safe operation
of the drive.
1. A maximum of 14 DRIVE-CLiQ nodes can be connected to one DRIVE-CLiQ line at a
Control Unit (e. g. 12 U/f axes + Infeed Module + 1 additional module). In the example
below, the DRIVE-CLiQ line includes drive objects 1 to 14.
2. It is permissible to connect a maximum total of 8 Motor Modules to the Control Unit. For
multi-axis modules, each axis counts individually (1 Double Motor Module = 2 Motor
Modules). Exception: For U/f control it is permissible to connect a maximum of 12 Motor
Modules.
3. With vector U/f control, it is only permissible to connect more than 4 participants to one
DRIVE-CLiQ line of the Control Unit.
4. Ring wiring of components is not permitted.
