Kopplung sercos III mit Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)
Introduction
This is a cooperative project from the Institute for Control Engineering of the University of Stuttgart 
ISW and the company Manz Automation.
Within this project, it is planned to implement functionality for the Enhanced Machine Controller EMC to enable the use of sercos III hardware within EMC. Sercos III is a Ethernet based automation bus https://www.sercos.org.
The first goal is, to bring a machine to operation which uses sercos III drives for automation. The communication handling for the bus is done by a proprietary sercos III master stack based on COSEMA http://cosema.sourceforge.net and a sercos III PCI Card. The stack was adopted to run as UIO-Driver under RT_PREEMPT Linux.
To be able to use sercos III in EMC some functions have to be added, changed, and extended. This page was set up to give some community feedback of the things we have changed, corrected bugs and the experiences we made during the work with EMC.
