Energy costs are interfering with business ‘as usual’

With PROFIenergy, PIUK is now making its own contribution to environmental protection through the careful management of automation resources. PROFIenergy actively contributes to lasting competitive advantage.

Standards and regulations are increasingly putting the focus on environmental protection and more effective energy management. Industry has the goal of saving energy and actively reducing CO2 emissions. In production environments, it is also important to reduce costs through energy savings, thereby assuring a lasting competitive advantage.

PROFIenergy provides standardisation of an energy saving profile for automation – the first to be accomplished anywhere in the world. This standardisation involved field device manufacturers, machine builders and plant operators as an integral unit, all of whom benefit from its deployment.

Based on the international communication standard PROFINET, PROFIenergy commands can be used to switch PROFINET field devices into energy saving modes in a coordinated manner, and do so across vendors independently of device types. At the conclusion of the pause, the field devices are again available and ready for operation on a reliable basis.
