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 products. Contact the respective member for information and assistance.
|
SERCANS II/III Modules from Bosch Rexroth
SERCANS is an active Sercos master card providing a simple and clearly arranged memory interface between the Sercos automation bus and the control unit. The memory interface significantly simplifies the implementation of the Sercos bus. The installed software initializes and manages the Sercos ring all by itself. Knowledge of the Sercos hardware connection is not required.
SERCANS II
SERCANS III

Sercos Hardware & Software Modules from Automata
Automata offers a large variety of Sercos products and support for both Sercos II and III. AUTOMATA is the official SERCOS III FPGA solution center of Sercos International.
For Sercos II
-- Starter kit, hardware boards for PCI, ISA, PC/104 and embedded systems, master and slave communications stacks
For Sercos III
-- Sercos III Master, Control & I/O System, master and slave communications stacks, SERCON100 FPGA solutions, passive and active PCI boards, evaluation kit, master simulator, support, training and customized hardware and software design
|
Sercos Hardware & Software Modules from Hilscher
Sercos II -- 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.
Sercos III -- Hilscher has integrated the Sercos III core into a General Purpose Communication Controller (GPCC), the netX family, ARM926 based System on Chip network communication controllers. Evaluation boards, starter-kit and board support packages for Windows-CE and Linux are available.
Hilscher also offers PC cards, modules, gateways, switches, boards, analyzer, firmware, kits and software for Sercos III. See
http://www.hilscher.com/technologies.html and scroll down to Sercos III.

Sercos III Communication Module from HMS Industrial Networks
HMS Industrial Networks Anybus-CC module for Sercos III contains a complete Sercos III slave interface per the FSP IO profile. The module comes in a handy housing and is about the size of a compact flash card. The module provides device manufacturers with a fast and easy way to connect their automation devices to Sercos III reducing development efforts by up to 70%. See
http://www.anybus.com/products/sercos.shtml.
|
Sercos III Communication Module from IXXAT
The IXXAT Industrial Ethernet Module for Sercos provides the customer with a complete Sercos III slave device. The module is based on an Altera Cyclone III FPGA. In addition to an integrated 32-bit CPU and an Ethernet controller, it comprises the PHYs, the RJ45 jacks and an optional hub or switch. Using the included programming interface, the customer can connect his device using SPI or a standardized µC-Interface. The Host-API encapsulates the functions of the industrial Ethernet protocol, thus the application can be developed independently of the underlying network.
