Free Sercos III SoftMaster webinar
Sercos International will present a free Sercos III SoftMaster webinar on February 20, 2017 at 16 hrs CET.
By using a Sercos III SoftMaster, a Sercos III master device can be implemented without a specific FPGA or 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, sufficient real-time performance can be ensured for a large number of applications. If an Ethernet controller is used that operates with multiple queues and a telegram scheduler (e.g., the INTEL i210), a synchronicity similar to that of a hardware-based master can be achieved.
A speaker from Bosch Rexroth AG will present detailed information about:
- Application areas of the Sercos SoftMaster
- The software architecture
- Features and performance
- A short outline of the demo package
- Integration into OEM machine controllers
- Tools for commissioning
