PROFInet Communication
Profiles
We support manufacturers in the integration and implementation of PROFInet profiles — such as SRCI, PROFIdrive, and PROFIenergy. Our specialists ensure standards-compliant, reliable, and efficient solutions, helping you bring industrial devices to market faster.
Alsensio is a member of PROFIBUS Nutzerorganisation e.V. (PNO) — the regional PI member organisation for Germany and an active part of the PROFIBUS & PROFINET International community.
Profiles We Cover
PROFInet application profiles define standardized, interoperable behavior on top of the base protocol. Using a profile ensures compatibility across vendors and simplifies integration for your customers.
Standard Robot Command Interface
Variable speed drives & motion control
Coordinated energy saving management
Functional safety up to SIL 3 / PLe
IO-Link master integration
Process automation field devices
Our Services
From profile selection to conformance test preparation — hands-on support at every stage of your device development.
SRCI — Standard Robot Command Interface
Implementation of the SRCI profile for robot controllers and peripheral devices. We support you in integrating the standardized command interface that enables interoperable robot control over PROFInet.
- SRCI profile integration
- Command mapping and validation
- Interoperability testing
PROFIdrive
Integration of the PROFIdrive profile for variable speed drives and motion control applications. We configure application classes, telegram structures, and parameter access to meet your drive system requirements.
- Application class selection
- Drive telegram configuration
- Timing and cycle time verification
PROFIenergy
Implementation of PROFIenergy to enable coordinated energy saving across your PROFInet-connected devices. We integrate pause command handling and energy mode management into your device firmware.
- Energy mode mapping
- PROFIenergy command integration
- Validation against PI specification
GSDML Engineering
Development and validation of GSDML device description files for your PROFInet device. We create conformant, interoperable GSDML files that work correctly in all major engineering tools.
- GSDML development and review
- Engineering tool validation
- Conformance pre-check
Certification Support
Preparation for PI (PROFIBUS & PROFINET International) conformance testing. We review your implementation against the test specification and resolve issues before the formal test event — reducing costly retests.
- Pre-test implementation review
- Issue identification and remediation
- Test event preparation
Custom Profile Integration
Support for additional or emerging PROFInet application profiles not listed above. Our specialists stay current with PI working group developments and can guide you through any profile implementation.
- Profile requirements analysis
- Implementation planning
- Integration and test support
Why Work With Us
PROFInet profile implementation requires deep knowledge of the PI specifications, the conformance test requirements, and the engineering tools your customers use. We bring that knowledge directly into your development process.
Work With UsStandards-compliant from the start
Our specialists know the PI specifications in depth. We implement profiles correctly the first time — avoiding the rework and retest cycles that delay product launches.
Faster time to market
Pre-engineered integration know-how and hands-on experience with PI certification processes means you spend less time on protocol engineering and more time on your core product.
Reliable, interoperable solutions
A correctly implemented PROFInet profile works with any conformant controller or device. We ensure your implementation is robust across the ecosystem your customers use.
