| [4diac-dev] Sercos SoftMaster solution available upon request |
|
Hello developers, according to the Sercos policy of Bosch Rexroth the Sercos Master solution
will be continued to be supplied as an Open Source Software project to the Sercos community. ·
Recently (December 2015) the emulation layer of the Sercos Master FPGA SERCON100M had been released on
SourceForge. ·
This is the bottom level component of the Sercos SoftMaster. ·
The next level is CoSeMA, the Common Sercos Master API, that is a long term available component at
SourceForge and adds the passive encapsulation library of the Sercos functionality. ·
The third level is the Sercos III active stack, that provides user level functionality of
o
Sercos communication phase control
o
configuration of the network
o
parametrization of devices
o
handling of cyclic data transfer etc. in a very handy manner. This layer is still under approvement but is available for evaluation (B-prototype) from Bosch Rexroth (mailto:Sercos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
as a fully working package. This component is planned to reach C-prototype level in Q4/2016 and can be used for production or execution environments then. ·
The whole package comes with an abstraction layer to support Windows or Linux (non-realtime) or Linux RT-Preempt, QNX Neutrino, VxWorks, Windows EC, INtime
and RTX (realtime). ·
The comfort is perfect with a ready-to-run alphanumeric menu to start as soon as the integration into the OS and HW platform is done. Examples for manual
control
o
Switch Communication phases
o
Start network with automatic configuration of the detected devices
o
Start network with a binary configuration
o
Read/Write parameters
o
Issue procedure commands
o
etc. Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
