The diagram below gives an example of the architecture of a SERCOS® multi-axis control system.
Operating principle
The multi-axis control system consists of the TSX CSY 84 or TSX CSY 164 multi-axis control modules and the servodrives, interconnected in a network via fiber optic cables.
The drives, which are interconnected through the fiber optic network, act as individual axes.
The motion commands sent by the TSX CSY 84 or TSX CSY 164 modules are sent to each drive in the network and in return, the module receives the actual position values for each axis from the network.
Maximum number of real axes managed by a TSX CSY 84 module
A TSX CSY 84 module manages a maximum of 8 real axes associated with servodrives.
In addition to these real axes, the module can manage:
