Leine & Linde DRIVE-CLiQ is now on an encoder platform designed for use in harsh drive environments with exposure to vibration, shocks and mechanical loads.
This means the encoder can easily be installed to the motor mechanics typically found in heavy duty applications like paper mills, steel plants and cranes, without any adaptation needed. The encoder is designed for transfer of both position and speed data over the same protocol. The scanning generates absolute position data, which means that each step of the turn is represented by a unique code-both single-turn for the exact position of the shaft, and multi-turn for the number of full revolutions. DRIVE-CLiQ is Siemens' new communication protocol for motor feedback in a SINAMICS drive system. It is an Ethernet-based interface for connection of different kinds of components, like motors, frequency converters and encoders, and simplifies the commissioning and configuration when setting up components in a system. As these encoders are intended for harsh environments where motors may be driven near their intended rating, they also support local temperature monitoring by providing a connection for temperature sensors. These sensors can measure over the entire operational range of the encoder and motor.
