The sercos daughter board allows a Motion Coordinator to be used as a sercos master. The Trio sercos software allows each P291 to control up to 8 axes via sercos with cycle times down to 250usec. On the MC224 Motion Coordinator, multiple sercos daughter boards can be used to provide up to its maximum of 24 axes.
Servo drives from a wide variety of sercos compatible manufacturers can be connected via the fibre optic ring. The Motion Coordinator software allows for configuration of the servo drives, reading and writing drive parameters, and running cyclically in speed or position modes.
Each P291 fitted in a Motion Coordinator allows the use of 2 sercos axes. Additional axes can be enabled using ¡°Feature Enable Codes¡±.
