Parameters, faults and alarms, terminology
A.1 Glossary
Drive component
Hardware components connected to a –> "Control Unit" via –> "DRIVE-CLiQ", for example.
Drive components are for instance: -> "Motor Module"s, -> "Line Module"s, -> "Motor"s, -
> "Sensor Module"s and -> "Terminal Module"s.
The overall layout of a Control Unit together with the connected drive components is called -
> "Drive unit".
Drive object
A drive object is an autonomous, individual software function with its own -> "Parameter"s
and may also have its own -> "Fault"s and -> "Alarm"s. Drive objects may exist by default
(e.g. On Board I/O), can be created individually (e.g. –> "Terminal Board" 30, TB30) or also
as multiples (e.g. –> "Servo control"). As a rule, each drive object has its own window for
parameterization and diagnostic purposes.
Drive parameter
Parameters of a drive axis that include, for example, the parameters of the corresponding
controllers, as well as the motor and encoder data. The parameters of the higher-level
technology functions (positioning, ramp-function generator), however, are called –>
"Application parameter"s.
See –> "Basic unit system".
Drive system
The drive system includes all the components in a product family that belong to a drive (e.g.
SINAMICS). A drive system comprises, for example, "Line Module"s, -> "Motor Module"s, -
> "Encoder"s, -> "Motor"s, -> "Terminal Module"s and -> "Sensor Module"s as well as
additional components (reactors, filters, cables, etc.).
See -> "Drive unit"
Drive line-up
A drive line-up comprises a -> "Control Unit" and the -> "Motor Module"s and -> "Line
Module"s connected via -> "DRIVE-CLiQ".
Basic Infeed
Overall functionality of an infeed with –> "Basic Line Module" including the required
additional components (filters, switching devices, etc.).
Basic Line Module
Unregulated line infeed unit (diode bridge or thyristor bridge, without feedback) for rectifying
the line voltage of the -> "DC link".
CompactFlash card
Memory card for non-volatile storage of the drive software and corresponding –>
"Parameter"s. The memory card can be plugged into the –> "Control Unit" from the outside.
