Free extension: D1 with PROFINET/PROFIdrive

... simple integration in conjunction with Siemens control systems ...

D1 with PROFINET interface and PROFIdrive.

The PROFINET field bus has been added to the D1 motor control system for stepper, DC and EC/BLDC motors. Due to this certified integration, D1 is now compatible with control systems from Siemens, Beckhoff, Wago and other manufacturers, which minimises integration time in a PROFINET network.

The PROFINET update for the D1 motor control system is now available in the online shop under the "Downloads" tab. All existing D1 systems can be retrofitted free of charge.
