Sercos International, provider of the Sercos® automation bus, presented Sercos slave prototyping with EasySlave kit for Arduino. Arduino is a physical computing platform that is enjoying strongly growing popularity in research and teaching and also in the implementation of IoT concepts. The special thing about Arduino is that the boards are inexpensive and both hardware […]

Sercos International, provider of the Sercos automation bus, will demonstrate for the first time the transmission of the Sercos III real-time protocol via Ethernet standard IEEE 802.1 TSN (Time-Sensitive Networks) at the 2016 SPS IPC Drives show. The Sercos TSN Demonstrator was created by the Institute for Control Engineering of Machine Tools and Manufacturing Units (ISW, University […]
Sercos International, supplier of the Sercos automation bus, held its 17th PlugFest mid May at Festo AG in Esslingen Berkheim, Germany. During the two-day event, master slave combinations…
The Sercos Monitor is a diagnostic tool for detailed analysis of the data traffic in Sercos III networks. It is available as a free download. This version supports the features of Sercos version 1.3.1, as well as the recording and analysis of CIP Safety frames, the S/IP protocol and hot-plug procedures in a Sercos III…
Sercos International, supplier of the Sercos® automation bus, announced that the OPC Unified Architecture (UA) Companion Specification for Sercos has been released. This specification describes the mapping of…
By using a Sercos III Soft-Master, a Sercos III master device can be implemented without specific FPGAs or an ASIC Sercos III hardware controller. Instead, a standard Ethernet controller is used and the Sercos III hardware functions are emulated in a host-based driver software. With this implementation approach, a sufficient real-time performance can be ensured…
Safety of humans and machines is playing an increasingly vital role in the world of automation – machines and systems are becoming more complex while functional safety requirements are constantly on the rise. Sercos relies on CIP Safety as the functional safety protocol for Sercos networks. To ensure the interoperability and compatibility of safety-related peripheral…
A new specification – CIP Safety on SERCOS, which is being released as a function-specific profile (FSP Safety) for Industrial Ethernet-based SERCOS III, will bring users of SERCOS III a standard network-spanning safety protocol. SERCOS International specified the extensions, which will be included in Edition 2.2. of the CIP Safety specification of the Open DeviceNet…
