SERCOS
is a digital communication interface specifically designed for communications
between motion controllers and drives. It is a well proven standard,
having been originally established in the early 1990’s and
was adopted as an international standard in 1995 (EN 61491) SERCOS
has been widely adopted by drive and controller companies in Europe,
the USA, and Japan.
SERCOS
provides a very accurately timed, high speed interface. It is implemented
using fibre-optic cables which gives great simplicity and electrical
noise immunity. Using the SERCOS protocol parameters are transferred
in and out of the drive both cyclically and as background “service
channel” parameter transfers.
Trio
provides a SERCOS interfaces
for the MC206X and MC224 Motion Coordinators, making them usable
as SERCOS masters.
Trio
also provides SERCOS slave interfaces. The P730
Sigma II SERCOS interface is the first example of this.
