As an easy setup of a system was one of the main goals of the group, it was decided to specify the lift-devices within an application profile instead of an device profile. The application profile does not just describe single devices as the device profile does, but describes the functionality of a whole application, including up to eight lifts.

An application profile defines virtual devices. Their advantage is the fact, that several virtual devices can be merged to a single physical device. So it can be chosen, which of the defined functionalities shall be located in which physical device.
