Drive profiles

The EP7211 supports the MDP 742 and DS402 drive profiles. Both drive profiles contain the same parameters. The drive profiles define the presentation of the parameters in TwinCAT and the index, under which the respective parameters are arranged in the object directory.

• The CoE objects in the MDP 742 (Modular Device Profile) are allocated in the way that is common for the Beckhoff I/O modules.
• The DS402 drive profile is specified in IEC61800-7-200 (CiA402) and uses a different allocation of the object directory structure.

The drive state machine in both profiles is based on the CiA402 State Machine, which means the functional behavior is identical.

Changing the drive profile

You can change the drive profile by carrying out an EEPROM Update. Select the EEPROM description on the basis of the following table.

The EEPROM description is also the name of the I/O module in the Solution Explorer of TwinCAT.

The CoE object description and the process data of the drive profiles are different. The motor XML files that match the set profile must be used.
