Direct communication across all device levels including cross communications between drives or controllers makes SERCOS III the ideal choice for distributed intelligence and full real-time performance.
Cross Communication - faster data exchange between nodes
Indirect communication between slaves which is routed through the master would pose a risk for synchronous motion, for example on gantry axes. Using CC cross-communication, SERCOS III slaves can communicate with each other directly with no delay, providing the basis for unrestricted real-time communications and intelligent automation configurations. The same principle applies to C2C communication between controllers.
