Engineering Information
DRIVE-CLiQ connections between Active Line Module, frame size GX, and Motor Modules, frame size FX
A longer DRIVE-CLiQ cable will be required to bridge cabinet cross-beams, to link Motor Modules which are not
mounted adjacently, or to link combinations of Motor Modules in frame sizes FX and GX (please note depth
difference between these module frame sizes). These cable lengths can be calculated using the formulas given in the
picture.
A distance X of about 70 mm can be bridged with the supplied cable [3] in order to connect an Active Line Module in
frame size GX with a Motor Module in frame size FX. The same cable can bridge a distance X of about 270 mm to
make a connection between modules of the same frame size, as these are of the same depth.
The 0.6 m DRIVE-CLiQ cable supplied with the Motor Module is too short as cable [4] to bridge distance Y. The next-
longer, pre-assembled DRIVE-CLiQ cable in the catalog, 0.95 m in length, will normally be used for this purpose. This
0.95 m DRIVE-CLiQ cable can also be used to link Motor Modules of different frame sizes, i.e. FX and GX (please
note the difference in depth of 200 mm between frame sizes FX and GX).
This cable is shown as cable [2] in the picture below.
