SERCOS Machine
The SERCOS interface requires configuration to establish communications for motion and I/O.
Drive Type
The manufacturer of the SERCOS style drive being used would be selected. This allows proper
operation and tuning parameters to be available.
Update Rate
The update rate for the ring may be selected for motion and I/O. One millisecond is recommended
but it is dependent on the capabilities of the hardware being used.
Baud Rate
Communication rate for the ring may be selected. This is determined by the type of drive and I/O
being used.
Light Level
The user has the ability to adjust the intensity of the light pulses used on the fiber optic ring. This
feature is used to compensate for diminished signal due to issues such as ring distance.
Drive I/O
The user may select to use I/O options directly supported on the Drive Amplifier. Options are None,
Overtravel and Home Switches only or All I/O. Note: The Drive I/O will populate the general purpose
I/O (both analog and digital) in order from the lowest SERCOS drive axis to the highest SERCOS
drive axis.
