● Controller (PROFIBUS: Master Class 1)
This is typically a higher-level control in which the automation program runs.
Example: SIMATIC S7 and SIMOTION
● Supervisor (PROFIBUS: Master Class 2)
Devices for configuration, commissioning, operator control and monitoring during bus
operation. Devices that only non-cyclically exchange data with Drive Units and
Controllers.
Examples: Programming devices, human machine interfaces
● Drive Unit (PROFIBUS: slave)
The SINAMICS drive unit is with reference to PROFIdrive, a Drive Unit.
