4 The Lenze automation system with PROFINET
This chapter provides basic information about ...
• the structure of the Lenze automation system using the PROFINET bus system;
• the Lenze Engineering tools required for commissioning;
• the interaction of the components.
We recommend using PROFINET for the following applications:
• Equipment and extension of system parts that have already been automated with PROFINET
before.
• Use of field devices that are not available for e.g. EtherCAT, CANopen or PROFIBUS.
• The combination of PROFINET with EtherCAT is possible.

Tip!
Detailed information about PROFINET can be found on the website of the PROFIBUS &
PROFINET user organisation:

Note!
• In the Lenze automation system, no PROFINET master functionality is supported. In a
PROFINET network, a Lenze Controller can only be driven as I/O device (slave), e.g. by
a Siemens SIMATIC S7 PLC.
• In the Lenze automation system, Logic field devices can be exclusively operated via
PROFINET. Thus, as an I/O device, the Lenze Controller is a Logic field device.
• The motion functionality is not supported when PROFINET is used. Always use
EtherCAT to connect inverters to be controlled via the central Motion functionality.
