ctrlX CORE - SERCOS communication

[arsz]

Hello Community!

In one of my projects, I would like to connect a ctrlX CORE to multiple S20-S3-BK+ bus couplers with AI-4 and DI-16 modules. The selected bus couplers are using Sercos as fieldbus protocol. My question would be, if I connect some sensors to analog/digital inputs is it possible to read sensors data via ctrlX (map inputs to DataLayer)?

Thank you!

Currently there is no SERCOS master planned for the ctrlX CORE, so IO data cannot be read from a S20-S3-BK+ as bus is not running.

You can use the same IOs connected to a S20-EC-BK EtherCat bus coupler at a ctrlX CORE.
