Sequence when creating drive components

After a new project has been created, the required components must be inserted into the
device configuration – and in most cases, also specified. If the recommended sequence is
maintained when inserting the components, then the inserted components are also
automatically wired.
Recommended order:
1. Control Unit
2. Infeed unit
3. Motor Module (or Power Module)
4. Motor
5. Encoder (measuring system)
6. Supplementary system components (Terminal Module, Terminal Board, Communication
Board, Voltage Sensing Module)
If this sequence is not complied with (e.g. because the infeed unit is only subsequently
added), then it is possible that Startdrive does not automatically wire the components. In this
case, you must manually establish the wiring in the device view (see Chapter "Editing a
DRIVE-CLiQ connection (Page 95)").
Note
For some motors, an appropriate encoder is simultaneously created in the device view when
creating and specifying a motor. The corresponding encoder is specified together with the
motor.
Note
When you use Power Modules, it is usually possible to dispense with an infeed. Point 2 in
the list above is then no longer applicable.
