The SERCOS interface servo modules serve as a link between the controller and
intelligent, servo drives. SERCOS is the IEC 61491 SErial Real-time COmmunication
System protocol over a fiber optic medium. The SERCOS interface is a controller-to-digital
drive interface designed for high-speed, real time, serial communications using noise-
immune, fiber-optic cables.
The SERCOS interface modules use a single, digital fiber optic link, which eliminates as
many as 18 digital wires per axis. Detailed drive status information can be sent from drive
to controller and from controller to drive.
The modules are compatible with the RSLogix 5000 motion instructions set and axis
configuration utilities. The motion instructions provide a wide range of motion capability,
including point-point positioning, gearing, position and time-based camming, and multi-
axis linear and circular motion.
The SERCOS interface modules can connect to these servo drives:
y 2094 Kinetix 6000 servo drive
y 2098 Ultra3000 SERCOS servo drive
y 1394C SERCOS drive
y 8720MC spindle

The 1768 CompactLogix controller supports one 1768-M04SE SERCOS interface
module for:
In a motion application:
y You can have as many as four axes per CompactLogix system. If your solution requires
more than four Kinetix drives, consider the ControlLogix platform.
y Trigger an event task via a registration input on a Kinetix drive and the motion task
update.
y as many as four Kinetix drives and motors.
y as many as two feedback axes.
y as many as six virtual axes.
