Active Line Module Active Line Module none
Controlled, self-commutating feed/feedback unit (with –> "IGBT"s in feed/feedback device),
which supplies the DC link voltage for the –> "Motor Module"s.
Antrieb Drive none
The drive includes the motor (electric or hydraulic), the actuator (converter, valve), the
control unit, measuring system, and supply components (line infeed module, pressure
reservoir).
For electric drives, a distinction is made between a converter system and an inverter system.
With a converter system (e.g. –> "MICROMASTER 4"), the line infeed, the actuator, and the
control component form a single device from the point of view of the user. With an inverter
system (e.g. –> "SINAMICS S"), the supply is ensured by means of –> "Line Module"s,
thereby realizing a DC line to which the –> "Inverter"s (– "Motor Module"s) are connected.
The –> "Control unit" is implemented as a separate device and connected to the other
components by means of –> "DRIVE-CLiQ".
Antriebsgerät Drive Unit none
The drive unit includes all the components connected via –> "DRIVE-CLiQ" that are required
for carrying out drive tasks: -> "Motor Module" –> "Control Unit" –> "Line Module", and the
required –> "Firmware" and –> "Motor"s, but not additional components, such as filters or
reactors.
Several –> "Drive"s can be implemented in a drive unit.
See –> "Drive System".
Antriebskomponente Drive Component none
Hardware component connected to a –> "Control Unit" via –> "DRIVE-CLiQ", for example. –
> "Motor Module"s, –> "Line Module"s, –> "Motor"s, –> "Sensor Module"s, and –> "Terminal
Module"s.
The overall arrangement of a Control Unit including the connected drive components is
called a –> "Drive Unit".
