PROFIenergy 
PROFIenergy - definition  
PROFIenergy, a protocol defined by the PROFINET User Organization, lays the foundations 
for a vendor-neutral, universal system for flexible, short-term, and intelligent shutdown of 
individual loads or whole production units. 
PROFIenergy - functions supported  
With the PROFIenergy data record index 0x80A0, SIMOCODE pro V PN (GP) supports the 
following PROFIenergy functions of device class type 3 "Switching and measuring devices 
without their own energy-saving level": 
Table 2- 28  PROFIenergy - functions supported 
Switching off the motor in "remote" mode 
End_Pause  0x02  Possible to switch on the motor again 
Query_Modes 
- list of modes 
0x03  Energy-saving modes

Query_Measurement 
- get measurement list 
0x10  Measured values 
- Query the list of supported measured values 
- Read out the supported measured values 
The "Start_Pause" command result in direct shutdown of the motor and activation of the OFF 
command. This command only affects the control station PLC/PCS [PN] on the precondition 
that the commands of this control station are enabled in the relevant mode. It therefore only 
has an effect if the control commands of this control station are also active. The "PE 
command Start_Pause pending" status is output. 
If the motor is already switched off, the "PE energy-saving mode active" status is output. In 
this status, the LED "device" flashes green on the basic unit. 
 
Note 
Command "Start_Pause" 
Use of this function is not meaningful in conjunction with 
the "overload" control function 
because this does not need any control station for routine switch
-off and switch-on.
