Profidrive profile
The PROFIDRIVE profile has been jointly defined by drive manufacturers. The profile specifies as-
pects of drive parameterization and how the setpoints and actual values should be transmitted. This
makes drives in a fieldbus vendor-independent and possible to be replaced by a drive from a differ-
ent vendor. The profile contains specifications needed for speed control and positioning and it speci-
fies the basic drive functions while leaving sufficient freedom for application-specific expansions and
further developments.

Application class 1
The Profinet board supports Application Class 1 of the Profidrive profile (version 4.1 ). Application
Class 1 defines Standard Telegram 1. The standard telegrams have the following structure:
I/O data num-

Setpoint STW1 NSOLL_A
Actual value ZSW1 NIST_A

STW1
STW1 is the Profidrive profile’s control word. The control word is for controlling the drive from a
fieldbus. It is sent by the fieldbus master to the drive. The drive switches between its states accord-
ing to the bit-coded instructions on the control word. Because the STW1 and the drive’s own control
words are different the STW1 has to be written to Drive Interface through state machine. Some of
the STW1 bits go straight to Drive Interface.
The STW1 is composed of 16 bits that have the following meanings:
