SERCOS interface Conformizer

A new conformance test for SERCOS II controls, servo drives and I/O stations is now available. This ensures that SERCOS interface products from various manufacturers are compatible and interoperable at the SERCOS Conformance Class A level. Tests to higher conformance classes are in development. Products with the SERCOS interface are tested at the Institute for Control Engineering of Machine Tools and Manufacturing Units (ISW) at the University of Stuttgart. The software used in the testing, the SERCOS interface Conformizer, is available to manufacturers who wish to perform testing of SERCOS interface devices in their facilities prior to the formal testing. This provides a high assurance of passing the formal test at minimal time and costs.

The SERCOS interface Conformizer is sold as a complete test and development environment for SERCOS master and slave devices. It includes a passive PCI-SERCOS interface card, test software, a run-time license for VenturCom's RTX 5.0 real-time extensions for Windows and the test software itself.

The Conformizer is an easy-to-use package that includes a high-level scripting language with control flow statements and over 80 functions, variables and input/ouput programming features. It includes a command shell, parameter browser, script editor, function browser, script browser, protocol window and error code browser. The test results can be directly processed in RTF or HTML format. The Conformizer software runs under Windows NT.

A free demo version of the SERCOS interface Conformizer, a conformizer user's guide, and conformance test descriptions can be downloaded from www.isw.uni-stuttgart.de/sercos
