Features: The development of digital and intelligent drives, digital motion control interfaces, and the increasing demand for openness in CNC systems in the manufacturing industry have brought significant changes to modern digital control structures. The SERCOS interface is currently the best-performing open digital motion control interface international standard. Its application not only improves the speed, accuracy, scalability, reliability, and maintainability of CNC systems but also achieves technical independence between controllers and drives, advances the softwareization of control systems, and thereby enhances the openness and cost-effectiveness of CNC systems. This book elaborates on the motion control structure and characteristics of modern CNC systems and their motion control interfaces. It comprehensively introduces the working principles, protocol structure, data structure, process commands, features, and usage methods of the SERCOS interface. Finally, the book provides source code for motion control programs written using SoftSERCOS to help readers develop interest and confidence in applying this technology. This book can serve as a textbook for postgraduate and undergraduate students in fields such as mechanical manufacturing and automation, mechatronics engineering, and automatic control. It is also a valuable reference for researchers and engineering technicians working in these areas, especially those involved in CNC system development.
