PROFIenergy

What is PROFIenergy?
PROFIenergy is a multi-vendor profile on PROFINET. The profile supports tripping during
idle times (energy saving function), measuring the power flow (measured value function) and
the status function, with which the current statuses and further information on PROFIenergy
can be read out.
PROFIenergy uses tried and tested PROFINET mechanisms to guarantee efficient and
simple implementation.
Background
Both standards and laws are focusing more and more on environmental protection and
energy management as well as the desire to save energy costs in a production line and thus
retain a competitive advantage in the long term. As a result, industry is also aiming to save
energy and to actively decrease CO
the multi-vendor PROFIenergy profile, defined on PROFINET, is making an active
contribution to environmental protection.
PROFIenergy (version V1.0) in the M200D PROFINET motor starter
PROFIenergy enables consumption data to be read out from the devices in a uniform format.
During operation, this data is acquired and displayed on an HMI device, for example, or
transferred to higher-level energy management software packages. This ensures that these
measured variables are available to users for further processing in a uniform, multi-vendor
defined format and structure, in the same way as they are currently found in motor starters.
These PROFIenergy functions thereby represent the basis for active load and energy
management during operation.
System and device manufacturers provide users with function blocks for PROFIenergy and
implement the corresponding commands and status functions in the field devices.
System/machine manufacturers and the system operator continue to coordinate the switch-
off and switch-on sequences as well as the enabling signals for the process. The controller
stores the information on which components are switched off for which type of pause. The
system operator does not require a detailed knowledge of the technology.
