Software for SERCOS III from AUTOMATA

AUTOMATA provides a user-friendly IEC-61131 environment for programming SERCOS interfaces. Now, all users have at their disposal a standardized SERCOS interface, starting from the competitive SCS control system application, up to complex multi-ring applications and PC-based control systems.

Note that the application interface of the new SERCOS III drivers is compatible with the driver versions for SERCOS II. All previously used functions and services can be used without any change. The new features like TCP/IP communication, hot-plugging and cross communication can be integrated via the familiar drive interface. This guarantees a simple upgrade to the new SERCOS III technology at a minimum effort within the shortest time.

SERCdrv -- SERCOS master driver
Freely configurable number of SERCOS drives.
Management of freely configurable number of SERCOS rings with hardware synchronization.
Support of all cyclic telegram types (standard type 0-6 and application-specific type 7 telegram).
Automatic calculation of SERCOS cycle timing parameters.
Access to all operation data elements through the SERCOS service channel.
Transmission of lists of any length.
Change of communication phase controlled by the application.
ANSI-C source code without operating system and/or hardware platform dependency.
Implementation examples for many operating systems and hardware platforms (e.g., VxWORKS, Linux, ETS, ...).
Implementation training and support is provided by AUTOMATA.

SERCslave -- SERCOS slave driver
SERCslave is portable on most diverse hardware and software platforms.
The software is completely written in the C language and is not dependent on a specific operating system. Thus a simple integration into the SERCOS slave firmware is possible.
Flexible interface to the slave firmware permits the use of the driver software for electric drives, distributed I/O nodes, hydraulic servo valves or any other slave type.
Both the SERCON100S for SERCOS III and the SERCON816 protocol ASIC for SERCOS II are supported.
Implementation training and support is provided by AUTOMATA.
