Equipment for Logical Tests
The SERCOS interface Conformizer
is used for the logical tests. This tool performs a strict and reproducible test for SERCOS interface master and slave implementations and is available to all SERCOS product suppliers as pre-test tool. Purchase of this tool for pre-testing of products is strongly recommended, as it provides a 90% assurance of passing the formal test.
The Conformizer parses test scripts, which contain the test descriptions in a readable format (ASCII). Additional test scripts can be easily integrated to support quality assurance within a company.
You can download a demo version of the
Conformizer.
The Conformizer tool can be purchased from SERCOS
International.
In addition, the SERCOS Monitor is a useful tool. It allows the recording of traffic on the optical ring. A record can be traced, filtered and analyzed.

SERCOS Monitor
A SERCOS monitor is available from Hilscher GmbH. It records and analyzes the telegrams sent between all devices in the SERCOS ring. The monitor consists of a windows-based software and a PCMCIA card and is suitable for portable use.
The monitor is integrated in the ring as a passive participant and must be the last device in the ring. In this position it can record all telegrams sent between master and slaves. It identifies the configuration and offers easy-to-use functions such as: triggering, filtering, and visualizing.
