Operation
6.7 Communication according to PROFIdrive
Application class 3 (positioning drive)
In addition to the drive control, the drive also includes a positioning control, which means that
it operates as a self-contained single-axis positioning drive while the higher-level
technological processes are performed in the controller. Positioning requests are transmitted
to the drive controller via PROFIBUS/PROFINET and launched. Positioning drives have a
very wide range of applications, e.g., screwing and unscrewing caps in a bottle filling plant or
positioning cutters on a foil cutting machine.
