Features: The development of digitalization, intelligence, and digital motion control interfaces for drives, along with the increasing demand for openness in CNC systems within the manufacturing industry, has 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 enhances 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 makes CNC systems more open and cost-effective. 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 SERCOS interface technology. Finally, the book provides source code for motion control programs written in SoftSERCOS to help readers develop interest and confidence in applying this technology. This book can serve as a textbook for graduate 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.
