PC based SERCOS Drive or I/O Station

ISG offers a software package with which a PC becomes a SERCOS device according to SERCOS compliance class B (position control). It can serve as a machine simulator for SERCOS CNC, a machine simulator for SERCOS PLC, a SERCOS Gateway or a software development kit for drive software (SDK). It supports up to 8 drives or one 26-channel I/O station.

Applications

The software development kit for drive software (SDK) can be used in a project to develop new algorithms for comprehensive axes control for new generations of powerful drive systems.

Drives or I/O stations can be emulated with the PC when the actual machine is not available for test and set-up.

It can serve as a communication platform for virtual machines.
