Servo Position Controllers with sercos II and sercos III Interface

In order to satisfy the continuously growing requirements for shorter cycle times and to support highly dynamic applications in the future, Metronix launches the new ARS 2000 device series. In addition to a considerable performance increase, the new ARS 2000 servo position controller meets the high safety technology requirements according to EN 61800-5-2 in modular design. In this connection, support of current communication interfaces like Ethernet and USB is a matter of course.

Controllers provided with optional sercos II or sercos III interfaces can be integrated in the fieldbus structure as slaves. Thus, a fail-safe, powerful and manufacturer-independent bus technology is available to the machine manufacturer, efficiently supporting highly dynamic automation processes. That’s why servo position controllers with the sercos interface are particularly suitable for applications in demanding growth markets like packaging, solar technology, LCD panel and wafer production. Currently, more real-time Ethernet-based protocols are under development.
