Support Products
The following hardware and software modules are available
from and are supported by the SERCOS members listed. They
can be useful in the design of SERCOS interface products.
Contact the respective member for information and
assistance.

SERCANS II/III Modules from Bosch Rexroth
SERCANS is an active SERCOS interface master card providing a simple and clearly arranged memory interface between the SERCOS interface and the control unit. The memory interface significantly simplifies the implementation of SERCOS interface. The installed software initializes and manages the SERCOS interface ring all by itself. Knowledge of the hardware of the SERCOS interface connection is not required.
Contact Bosch Rexroth for
details.
|
SERCOS I/II and III Hardware & Software Modules from Automata
SERCOS II boards are available for all standard bus systems including PCI, ISA, PC/104 and PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card). They support 2,4,8 and 16 MBit/s transfer speed. Master and Slave driver software is available.
A dual-ring PCI SERCOS III board is available.
Contact Automata for
details.

SERCOS I/II and III Hardware & Software Modules from Hilscher
Hilscher offers PCI, PCMCIA and PC/104 passive SERCOS II interface cards containing the SERCON816 ASIC. They can operate as a master or slave. Hilscher offers a SERCOS driver, used to control these cards. They also offer the SERCOS Monitor, a powerful and mobile analyzer for efficient observation and evaluation of data transmissions in SERCOS I & II systems.
http://www.hilscher.com/products_bus_sercos.html
Hilscher has integrated the SERCOS III core into a General Purpose Communication Controller (GPCC), the netX 500, an ARM926 based System on Chip network communication controller. Evaluation boards, starter-kit and board support packages for Windows-CE and Linux are available.
