These motors now have integrated ProfiNet interface
This company was said to be the first to completely integrate ProfiNet functionality, including the PROFIdrive profile with application classes 1 and 4, into motors as standard. This offers ProfiNet users significant advantages in cabling, commissioning and operation. Only the power supply and bus connection need to be established, and the motor can be integrated into the commissioning environment, for example, the TIA Portal, and programming can begin. During operation, the controller accesses all motor parameters and uses them for process control, error monitoring, predictive maintenance and many other IIoT or cloud features.
