In this section you'll find several sets of downloadable files, ranging from simple forms to join PI to executables to help you engineer and commission PROFIBUS and PROFINET devices. Much of it is free, although to get some files you'll need to join PI to gain access. The 'key' icon tells you which file needs a password.

The PROFIBUS profile for drive technology, PROFIDrive, Version 3, is a compatible further development of the proven PROFIBUS profile for variable-speed drives, PROFIdrive, Version 2. Today, this is the standard for all manufacturers to implement PROFIBUS interfaces for drives.
The PROFIdrive profile defines, as a supplement to the PROFIBUS standard, a unified device behavior and access technique to the drive data. For the user, this means that engineering costs are reduced when planning and implementing plants and systems, as the various drives respond the same way to control instructions. The programming costs are significantly reduced by using standardized program blocks in the open-loop and closed-loop control systems for controlling the drive units via PROFIBUS. For drive manufacturers, as a result of the profile definition, development costs are reduced and the implementation of non-proprietary standardized interface improves the chances of being successful in the market.
The amendment describes the interface for activation and deactivation of autonomous safety functions of drives and some details of mechanisms for parameterization and configuration. It bases on the definitions of PROFIsafe und PROFIdrive.
