Sercos tool tests slave devices on automation bus

The Sercos III Slave Conformizer is a test tool for slave devices on the Sercos III Ethernet-based automation bus.

It ensures that Sercos III slave implementations from different manufacturers are compatible and interoperable.

The certification-test software is available to manufacturers who wish to pre-test Sercos III slave devices in their facilities prior to the formal testing at the Sercos test lab.

This provides a high assurance of passing the formal test at minimal time and costs.

The Sercos III Conformizer is provided as a complete test and development environment for Sercos III slave devices.

It includes an active PCI-Sercos III interface card and the test software, which runs under Windows XP without the need for real-time extensions.

The Conformizer package has a GUI based on the Eclipse framework.

Tests activated by the GUI are specified using the Ruby script language.

Pre-defined scripts are available for testing the communication, the generic device profile and the function-specific profiles for drives and I/Os.

Product- and vendor-specific scripts can be easily integrated.
