A.1 Communication
A.1.1 Communication according to PROFIdrive
PROFIdrive 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:
● PROFIdrive – Profile Drive Technology,
PROFIBUS User Organization e. V.
Haid-und-Neu-Straße 7, D-76131 Karlsruhe,
Internet: (http://www.profibus.com)
● IEC 61800-7
PROFIdrive device classes
Table A-1 PROFIdrive device classes
PROFIdrive PROFIBUS DP PROFINET IO Example:
Peripheral device (P device) DP slave IO Device Drive unit, Control Unit
CU320-2
Motion controller (higher-lev‐
el controller or host of the au‐
tomation system)
Class 1 DP master IO Controller Higher-level control, SIMAT‐
IC S7 and SIMOTION
Supervisor (engineering sta‐
tion)
Class 2 DP master IO Supervisor Programming devices, hu‐
man machine interfaces
Note
Consistent naming conventions
For reasons of consistency, the terms "device", "controller", and "supervisor" are used below.
The terms "slave" and "master" are only applied in the PROFIBUS chapter and are used there
still.
