Does PROFINET have a similar mechanism to SystemCommand? Yes and No. Since there are differing 'categories' of IO-Link SystemCommands, some have an equivalent in PROFINET and some do not. For example the IO-Link factory settings is a DCP ResetToFactory service in PROFINET. The big difference is tha...

Hi Team, We have the latest test bundle from PI that is 2.44.1.2. My query here is are all the test cases migrated from standard setup to ETS setup i.e. unified test setup, if no when it will be done? Moving further if we want to certify our profinet device the pre-test execution should be sufficie...

To do a read / write PROFIdrive PNU object you use the SINAPARA function block (FB286) which is part of the SINAMICS library. IIRC that comes with TIA Portal per default. In TIA Portal the help is slightly misleading, the function block works just fine with any PROFIdrive compliant device. So, do yo...

Maybe a mismatch in API number?
A wireshark inspection of the Connect Request and Connect Response should point to the exact subslot position of the mismatch.

There is no PROFIenergy community example.
The stack providers may have an example implementation, if you already use a device stack you can ask your provider.

The primary setup tool may install those, not sure.
Do the LLDP frames disappear when you disable PROFINET IO protocol (DCP/LLDP) ?

hello L_zea,

I think it makes sense.
Even when energy savings for a single device may be 'low', it is the amount of devices that count

Yes. Some of the application classes require IRT though.

What are the available Profidrive Application Classes ?
