The CUA32 Control Unit Adapter is snapped onto the Power Module in blocksize format and communicates with a CU320?2 Control Unit, a SINUMERIK NCU 7.x or a SIMOTION D Control Unit via a DRIVE?CLiQ connection.

The CUA32 Control Unit Adapter's power is supplied by the Power Module via the PM-IF interface. If the CUA32 Control Unit Adapter needs to communicate when the Power Module is switched off, it must be supplied with 24 V DC from an external source.

Other DRIVE-CLiQ devices such as Sensor Modules or Terminal Modules can be connected to the CUA32 Control Unit Adapter.
