Description

The technology controllers have an isochronous DP(DRIVE) interface for connecting the drive components. This is optimized for connection of drives over PROFIBUS – all Siemens drives are supported

The PROFIBUS DP (DRIVE) interface supports isochronous mode and therefore provides an essential requirement for controlling high-speed and time-critical operations such as are found in distributed axes in synchronized applications. The interface can only be used as a DP master. It serves to connect drive components. In addition to drive systems, DP-V0 slaves can also be operated on the DP (DRIVE) line on a limited basis.
