9.2.4.3  Determining the drive object numbers 
Further information about the drive system (e.g. drive object numbers) can be determined as 
follows using parameters p0101 and r0102: 
1. The value of parameter r0102 ("Number of drive objects") for drive object/axis 1 is read 
via a read request. 
Drive object 1 is the Control Unit (CU), which is a minimum requirement for each drive 
system. 
2. Depending on the result of the initial read request, further read requests for drive object 1 
are used to read the indices for parameter p0101 ("Drive object numbers"), as specified 
by parameter r0102. 
Example: 
If the number of drive objects is "5", the values for indices 0 to 4 for parameter p0101 are 
read. Of course, the relevant indexes can also be read at once. 
9.2.4.4  Example 1: read parameters 
Requirements 
1. The PROFIdrive controller has been commissioned and is fully operational. 
2. PROFIdrive communication between the controller and the device is operational. 
3. The controller can read and write data sets in conformance with PROFIdrive DPV1. 
Task description 
Following the occurrence of at least one fault (ZSW1.3 = "1") on drive 2 (also drive object 
number 2), the active fault codes must be read from the fault buffer r0945[0] ... r0945[7]. 
The request is to be handled using a request and response data block. 
Basic procedure 
1. Create a request to read the parameters. 
2. Invoke the request. 
3. Evaluate the response.
