This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Andreas Uhl on PROFIdrive. The presentation covered the benefits and technology of PROFIdrive, its application fields, and a case study of its use in a newspaper printing machine. It discussed how PROFIdrive standardizes drive interfaces and profiles to enable interoperability. It also looked at future trends toward integrating more functions into drive systems and using Ethernet-based communications to support a "drive supersystem" approach.

Isochroneous Operation – What is This?
… in isochroneous operation the drive synchronizes itself to
the bus cycle …
... Isochroneous operation assures a bus cycle with 1 ms precision …
… this therefore assures a closed-loop control
quality and a setpoint response that are needed in
high performance multi-axis motion control!
Controller
The cyclic data
transfer on the bus line is scheduled
and deterministic
Actual values and new setpoint
values are sampled and activated at
all devices at the same point in time
… new setpoint values are activated and new actual values are sampled
at the same points in time Ti and To for all axes …

The principle of “Increasing Ideality” is characterized by the
“Tendency for an Increasing Value” of the system
Transfer to supersystem
Increasing coordination
Decreasing of number of components
When it comes to evolving systems for the future,
the general trend is to increase their ideality!
