Combined use of MOTION-CONNECT 500 and MOTION-CONNECT 800PLUS
In principle, MOTION-CONNECT 500 cables and MOTION-CONNECT 800PLUS cables be
used together.
Basic cables and extensions for MOTION-CONNECT cables with DRIVE-CLiQ connector
and M12 socket can be combined without any restrictions.
For the combined use of MOTION-CONNECT cables with DRIVE-CLiQ connectors, the
conditions below apply.
Use of DRIVE-CLiQ couplings
DRIVE-CLiQ couplings are used to combine MOTION-CONNECT 500 cables and MOTION-
CONNECT 800PLUS cables with DRIVE-CLiQ connectors. The maximum permissible cable
length is calculated as follows:
ΣMC500 + 4/3 * ΣMC800PLUS + n
c
* 5 m ≤ 100 m
ΣMC500: Total length of all MC500 cable segments (fixed routing)
ΣMC800PLUS: Total length of all MC800PLUS cable segments (tow chain)
n
c
: Number of DRIVE-CLiQ couplings (0 to max. of 3)
With this combination, DRIVE-CLiQ cables with a maximum length of over 75 m can also
implemented for applications involving a tow chain.

Using a DRIVE CLiQ Hub Module
A DRIVE-CLiQ Hub Module (DMC20 or DME20) can be used to double the maximum
permissible cable length for MOTION-CONNECT cables with DRIVE-CLiQ connectors. After
the hub, the same length conditions apply as before the hub.
ΣMC500 + 4/3 * ΣMC800PLUS + n
c
* 5 m ≤ 100 m before the hub
ΣMC500 + 4/3 * ΣMC800PLUS + n
c
* 5 m ≤ 100 m after the hub
It is possible to connect two DRIVE-CLiQ Hub Modules in series (cascade connection).
