Function blocks for SIMATIC S7
Application examples and the application descriptions "Saving energy with SIMATIC S7 -
PROFIenergy with ET 200SP (TIA Portal)" and "Saving energy with SIMATIC S7 - PROFIenergy with
ET 200S (STEP 7 V5.5)" for the use of the PROFIenergy functions can be found on the Internet
using the following links:
• PROFIenergy - Saving energy with SIMATIC S7 and SIMATIC HMI (TIA Portal) (

• PROFIenergy - Saving energy with SIMATIC S7 (STEP 7 V5.5) (
support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/41986454
You can also make use of the blocks from the application descriptions to implement PROFIenergy
functions in conjunction with the 3RW5 soft starters.
Function blocks
SIEMENS provides the following function blocks for using PROFIenergy, for example:
• PE_START_END (FB 815)
With the function block FB 815 "PE_START_END" you can transfer the commands
"Start_Pause" and "End_Pause" directly to the 3RW5 soft starter.
• PE_CMD (FB 816)
With the universal function block FB 816 "PE_CMD", for example, you can transfer the
following additional commands of the PROFIenergy profile:
– Query_Modes
– PEM_Status
– PE_Identify
– Query_Measurement

NTP (time synchronization)
Requirements
• 3RW5 PROFINET High Feature communication module
• 3RW55 soft starter from firmware version V2.0 or 3RW55 Failsafe soft starter from firmware
version V1.0
Time synchronization according to the NTP procedure
The 3RW55 and 3RW55 Failsafe soft starters have a capacitor-buffered real-time clock with an
operation reserve of about 3 days. You can synchronize the real-time clock using the NTP
procedure via the 3RW5 PROFINET High Feature communication module.
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is the implementation of a TCP/IP protocol for time synchronization
in networks. The NTP procedure uses hierarchical time synchronization, in which an external
