General information

PROFIdrive V4.1 is the PROFIBUS and PROFINET profile for drive technology with a wide range of applications in production and process automation systems.

PROFIdrive is independent of the bus system used (PROFIBUS, PROFINET).

Note

PROFIdrive for drive technology is standardized and described in the following document: References: /P5/ PROFIdrive Profile Drive Technology

Controller (PROFIBUS: Master Class 1, PROFINET IO: IO Controller)

This is typically a higher-level control in which the automation program runs. Example: SIMATIC S7 and SIMOTION

Supervisor (PROFIBUS: Master Class 2, PROFINET IO: IO Supervisor)

Devices for configuration, commissioning, operator control and monitoring during bus operation. Devices that only non-cyclically exchange data with Drive Units and Controllers.
