Profile Contents
The profile specifies the behavior of devices and the access procedure to data for variablespeed
electrical drives on Profibus.
The profile specifies the characteristics of devices of process engineering in process
automation on Profibus.
The profile describes how handling and assembly robots are controlled over Profibus.
The profile describes the interfacing of simple human machine interface (HMI) devices
to higher level automation components.
The profile describes the interfacing of rotary, angle, and linear encoders with single-turn
or multi-turn resolution.
The profile describes the control of hydraulic drives over Profibus. In cooperation with
VDMA.
The profile describes characteristics of devices for semiconductor manufacture on Profibus
(SEMI standard).
The profile defines data exchange for low-voltage switchgear (switch-disconnectors, motor
starters, etc.) on Profibus DP.
The profile describes the implementation of weighing and dosage systems on Profibus DP.
The profile describes the communications between devices for identification purposes
(bar codes, transponders).
The profile defines the implementation of liquid pumps on Profibus DP. In cooperation with
VDMA.
Due to their special place in bus operations, a different device model and data types are
applied to the remote I/Os compared to the Profibus PA devices.
32.6.4 Procedure Calls
The procedure call function allows the loading of any size of data area into a field device with a single
command. This enables, for example, programs to be updated or devices replaced without the need for
manual loading processes.
32.7 application Profiles
Profibus stands out from other fieldbus systems primarily due to its extraordinary breadth of application
options. Table 32.5 shows all current specific Profibus application profiles. Major application profiles
are Profisafe as defined in [IEC84-3] and Profibus PA as explained in [M03] and [DB07].
