Description of the EU5C-SWD-SERCOS gateway
3.1
Function
The EU5C-SWD-SERCOS gateway integrates a SmartWire-DT network
into a Sercos network. The gateway creates a data connection between the
participants (the slave devices) of the subordinate SmartWire-DT network
and the master device or PLC of the super ordinate Sercos network.
The gateway acts as master (a.k.a. “Coordinator”) in the SmartWire-DT
network on the one hand, and on the other hand as modular slave in the
Sercos network. It thereby presents each connected SmartWire-DT
participant as individual module to the Sercos master.
The cyclic process data is exchanged transparently between both
networks. 492 bytes of process input/output data can in sum be exchanged
with up to 99 SmartWire-DT participants (slaves).
The maximum amount of “Consumed Data“ (including “Connection Control“
and “IO Control”) as Sercos slave is 246 bytes, maximum amount of
“Produced Data“ (including “Connection Control“ and “IO Status”) is also
246 bytes.
