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
