The PROFIdrive profile
User data structure in the PROFIdrive profile
PROFIdrive as a frequency inverter interface on PROFIBUS or PROFINET
The SINAMICS G120 frequency converters are controlled via the PROFIdrive profile (version
4.1). The PROFIdrive profile defines the user data structure with which a central controller
communicates with the frequency converter by means of cyclic or acyclic data transfer.
The PROFIdrive profile is a cross-vendor standard. A complete description of this standard is
available under /P5/ PROFIdrive Profile Drive Technology.
