The PROFINET stack is the firmware version delivered with the Evaluation Kit. PROFIdrive is implemented by the application example presented here. The "Drive application" is simulated in the application example by a simple simulation (PT1 element).

There is a GSDML file for the PROFIdrive application example. The GSDML file is based on the GSDML file of the Evaluation Kit extended by entries for the PROFIdrive application example (PROFIdrive API).

The application example was tested with the PROFIdrive PROFINET Profile Tester V50.


The functionality of the PROFIdrive application example for AC1 includes:

  • Implementation of a drive object of the application class (AC) 1 with speed setpoint interface.
  • Cyclic data exchange via standard telegrams 1 and 2.
  • Acyclic data exchange via PROFIdrive parameter channel.
  • PROFIdrive diagnostics
  • State machine PROFIdrive General State Machine
  • Simulation of a drive control system


The functionality of the PROFIdrive application example for AC4 includes:

  • Implementation of a drive object of the application class (AC) 4 with speed setpoint interface.
  • Cyclic data exchange via standard telegrams 1, 2 and 3.
  • Acyclic data exchange via PROFIdrive parameter channel.
  • PROFIdrive diagnostics
  • State machine PROFIdrive General State Machine
  • PROFIdrive encoder channel with encoder state machine
  • Simulation of a drive control system
