AKD PROFINET | 6 PROFIDRIVE over PROFINET IO
6.1 Introduction
The AKD supports the PROFIdrive profile for accessing and configuring standard and man-
ufacture parameters via PROFINET IO to start/stop/configuring motion control tasks.
The profile defines as main element the Drive Object (DO), which is controlling the motion
task related parameters. It is important to understand that PROFIdrive is only a user profile,
which can be used with PROFINET IO.
Note that the AKD supports all mandatory functionality of the PROFIdrive profile, but nat-
urally not all optional functionality. This chapter describes the supported optional elements.
