9.2.4  Acyclic communication 
9.2.4.1  General information about acyclic communication 
Description 
With acyclic communication, as opposed to cyclic communication, data transfer takes place 
only when an explicit request is made (e.g. in order to read and write parameters). 
The read data set/write data set services are available for acyclic communication. 
The following options are available for reading and writing parameters: 
●  S7 protocol 
This protocol uses the STARTER commissioning tool, for example, in online mode via 
PROFIBUS. 
●  PROFIdrive parameter channel with the following data set: 
–  PROFIBUS: Data block 47 (0x002F) 
The DPV1 services are available for master class 1 and class 2. 
Note 
Please refer to the following documentation for a detailed description of acyclic 
communication: 
Reference: PROFIdrive Profile V4.1, May 2006, Order No: 3.172
