SERCOS interface – 2 million real-time nodes

Launched at the beginning of the 90s, the SERCOS interface is now established as an open, real-time interface for motion control applications
in automation technology.

The basis for its success in all kinds of industries and applications lies in its efficient and deterministic communication protocol, which uses a noise-immune, optical transfer system.

SERCOS has reached worldwide acceptance in all large automation markets as the defacto standard for demanding applications with high requirements for dynamics and precision. SERCOS not only specifies a real time communication system, but also more than 500 standardized parameters, which define the interaction of controls and drives in crossmanufacturersemantics.

This is the basis for interoperability of devices from different manufacturers. 2 million realtime nodes are already in use today.
