Your advantages

Secure communication
in centralised and decentralised installations thanks to drive technology with integrated or modularly expandable safety options.

Continuous communication
between all levels of the system architecture and the drive technology itself.

... at all levels

The PROFIsafe profile is currently synonymous with safe communication: it gives your systems and automation concepts the necessary functional safety.

Our drive components speak the "PROFIsafe" language. Across the various levels, right up to the control level.

You can therefore rely on the technology of one of the world's leading manufacturers of drive technology and utilise the communication capability of our components. Whether machine or system, centrally or decentrally installed. And of course available worldwide.
