PROFIdrive
The leading drive control profile
IEC standardized • interoperable • future proof
PROFIdrive is a powerful and mature drive control profile for any kind of application and industry usage. Based on its modular structure and manufacturer-independent device profile, PROFIdrive is easy to handle, highly scalable by its six Application Classes and defined to achieve an utmost interoperability level. The supported VIK/NAMUR drive interface according to VE34/NE122 offers in particular the advantage of a "device exchange without engineering interaction" based on a specifically defined and provided VIK/NAMUR profile GSD file. All this is safeguarded by well defined implementation procedures, support and standardized certification tests and tools.
Benefits
- Internationally established by following drive standards - IEC 61800-7 and GB/T 25740
- Full interoperability and exchangeability - including safety functionality
- Highly scalebale - matches with any kind of application from simple up to high performance operation
- PROFIdrive is future proof - thanks to the high level OSI layer realisation
- By nature PROFIdrive comes along with perfect interplay of all other PROFINET profiles
