11.3 Communication via PROFINET IO 
  Drive functions 
846  Function Manual, 11/2017, 6SL3097-4AB00-0BP5 
 
PROFIenergy is an energy management system for production plants, based on the 
PROFINET communication protocol. The functionality is certified in the PROFIenergy profile 
of the PNO. Drive units which have PROFIenergy functionality, can be certified in an 
approved laboratory. Certified devices support the PROFIenergy commands and respond 
accordingly to the requirements and operating states.  
SINAMICS supports the PROFIenergy profile V1.1. PROFIenergy commands are acyclically 
transferred from the controller to the drive with PROFINET data sets. The PROFIenergy 
commands are transferred using the PROFINET data set 0x80A0. 
PROFIenergy data record access is only accepted via the connection types “RT connection” 
or “IRT connection”. 
If access is made via another type of connection (e.g. Supervisor connection), system 
redundancy connection), the data record access is rejected with error code 0x80B0 “Invalid 
Index”. 
There is exactly one PROFIenergy access point (PESAP) and this hangs on the MAP 
submodule of the CU drive object. 
If access is made via another module/submodule, the data record access is rejected with 
error code 0x80B0 “Invalid Index”.
