Acyclic communication
As from performance level DP-V1, PROFIBUS communications offer acyclic data
communications apart from cyclic communications. You can parameterize and troubleshoot
(diagnostics) the inverter via acyclic data transfer. Acyclic data is transferred in parallel with
cyclic data transfer but with a lower priority.
The inverter supports the following data transfer types:
● Reading and writing parameters via "data set 47" (up to 240 bytes per write or read
● Reading-out profile-specific parameters
● Data exchange with a SIMATIC HMI (Human Machine Interface)
You can find a STEP 7 program example for acyclic data transfer in Section Application
examples (Page 291).
